Dallas Police Department Under Attack

Seems some nutter with a violent criminal history drove an armored van up to DPD HQ and opened fire and may also have placed several homemade explosives in the area.

They've got him surrounded and closed off a large perimeter while they negotiate with him.

Negotiate?

Really?

Standoff continues after Dallas Police HQ attack

Apparently he's po'd at the cops 'cause they accused him of being a terrorist and he lost custody of his kid. Looks like the cops got it right.
50 cal round stopped his "armored" van. Probably assumed room temperature by now.
May have had some help. Hope they all assume room temp.

Friend of mine lives across the street from DPD.

Messaged him to see if he was OK.

Says the cops practically kicked his door in at 4 AM to get him out.

Well, it's not like the guy's a black motorist in a traffic stop... you can't just open fire.

.50 round is a lot cheaper than a trial. Good riddance.

As TABS has bin sayin as the stresses on society grow due to the economic and political malaise the more chaos and fragmentation there is going to be...the Zombies are now in the streets shootin at the POlice...which is the enforcement arm of the established societal authority.

Does anybody doubt the linkage?

BTW it does not help that BO is throwin rocks at his own glass house.

Does anyone actually click the link in OPs anymore?

You guys are all showing your own little slanted agendas here.

There was a wacko with an armored van shooting at and throwing bombs at a major police headquarters. He wanted to die. That's it, end of report.

I fail to see any connection with open carry, gun control, econmic malaise, racial profiling, or police brutality. Jeezus.

Everything is an excuse to toss down some wackadoodle political theory these days. It's Pavlovian.

I think it's interesting that now they just blow up the suspect cars instead of doing the whole bomb squad robot routine.

Please, it's not like someone goes all "Assault on Precinct 13" every day. School shootings happen more often than people shooting up police depts - you saying being a high-schooler is tougher than being a cop?

Take a look at detailed interior and exterior pics of the van used in the Dallas PD shooting... looks like it used to be one of those armored vehicles used for transporting large sums of cash for/to/from banks. It sold on eBay a few days ago:
