I'm holding the BLM movement partially responsible for this. And the Minnesota Governor is as well. It's open season on police officers. Shame.

Any possibility that it is a terrorist initiative taking advantage of the bad situation in the US this week?

I'm not an American hater,...but the cops in the US are fricken idiots.

I was thinking about going to Arizona this fall, but starting to worry about being hit by stray bullets.

I spent a month in Arizona and not one worry of violence. Of course I stayed away from South Phoenix.
The cops in the US aren't much different than cops here. There are good and bad.

Snipers shooting random police officers is the most fucked up thing iv heard about all these protests. And BLM with their hate for law enforcement and their "what do we want- dead cops" chants has everything to do with this tragedy. Regardless whether or not they
claim responsibility the blame is on them.

Good to know, thanks, and about the cops, I still thinks ours are a cut above, union and all.

Hardly the night for it when 4 policemen are dead and many seriously injured. In the meanwhile hundreds of police in Dallas are running around trying to protect the public, and exposing themselves to possible sniper fire

and of course the regular needless execution of petty black suspects has nothing to do with this. What has been done to stop the killing of blacks by angry trigger happy cops ( who always get off scott free)? Not much, but you're quick to criticize BLM ( who may be extreme and very hostile, but they do have a point).

Absolutely, some of those cases should have ended in murder charges for the officers. But, some of those cases were not near as cut and dry when it came to blame and in relation to resisting arrest it became even tougher to call.

Only in America.

Cops vs. Blacks is always an interesting read. Sad stuff really, but let's face it. This kind of smut is much more interesting to read and watch then hearing about a student that graduated high school with a 99% avg.

Blame goes on both ends. It's really a chicken and egg type of issue, where they both go at it It all comes down to which ever side wants to "be the man" and smarten up, and in turn "hope" the other side also smartens up. Then maybe 50 years from now things will simmer down.

It's interesting when you hear about cops being racist, because I don't see cops having issues with Asians and Indians. They are minorities too. And Indians can have skin just as dark as a Black person and on top of that wear turbins and some people wear those robes. Yet I don't see cops hassling Indians. So you can toss out the old "white people hate dark skin" claim.

Blacks
- Commit more crime compared to their population base
- Often involved in serious crime, gangs
- Some reason don't really give a fuck about education as much as other ethnicities
- Add all this up and it pisses cops off

Cops
- Video cams show cops going overboard and sometimes beating up or killing Blacks for no good reason
- Cops patrol bad neighbourhoods more
- Cops often have that annoying "buddy buddy system" where fellow cops back each other up even during times a cop or two are being idiots. They stand there watching, when they should intervene and prevent a colleague from going overboard
- Add all this up and it pisses off Black people

So it's a tug of war of war between two factions, while everyone else sits on the sidelines seeing footage of one side pissing off the other side until someone breaks..... hey, we're all human after all.

Angry trigger happy cops, in a country where civilians can carry guns openly.

If only guns were banned in the States, these cops would be less trigger happy.
No need to worry about someone reaching for something and thinking if it is a gun or something else.

It also comes down to culture. The more hostile the environment, the more people will arm themselves and go around shooting.

In Switzerland, there used to be a law (I'm a little hazy on it and too lazy to Google it), where men would have to join the military for a few years. They also all got government issued pistols, semi-auto rifle and boxes of ammo. Pretty silly to do this, but it had to do with ensuring Switzerland had a semi-trained militia army in case someone wanted to invade them.

So with so many people getting free weapons and boxes of ammo, you'd think everyone would go around shooting each other like idiots. But they don't.

The Swiss have better things to worry about like..... going to school, working, not causing trouble and most important of all..... skiing! :)
