Dallas PD recklessly tweets out this photo of the "suspect": https://twitter.com/DallasPD/status/751262719584575488

Problem is, this video: https://twitter.com/dallasnewsphoto/status/751235966505881600

At about the 0:03 mark you can see a black man in a camouflage shirt with something strapped to his chest. Remember this is AFTER shots were fired.

Quite unnecessary and unprofessional to put a target on someone's back when they don't have a definitive suspect. Especially on social media.

I saw this coming a year ago, Kendrick Lamar and Killer Mike can only promote cop killing as a recourse to isolated incidents of police brutality so much, naive college students and professional agitators "activists" can only pull attention stunts screaming about their wildly overdramatized "lived experience of oppression" so much, and talking heads and editorial writers can only claim that "black people are afraid to leave their houses because they may get murdered" and "there are two classes of people in this country" and write about "black bodies" and "people who look like me" and all that crap so much, before someone actually takes it all seriously and starts shooting cops or white people thinking that they're fighting for freedom.

These two cops will die, Tumblr and other sources of online race hate will turn them into martyrs, CNN/Salon/HuffPo will bring agitators and, as Obama put it, "professional blacks", into the fold to "teach the controversy", and more will follow in their footsteps as a result.

Congratulations BLM, today you officially crossed the line and became associated with terrorism.

You're jumping to conclusions way too fast. We don't even know the race of the shooter as currently we only know it's a sniper situation. By immediately blaming BLM you're not any better than the fringe commentators who make blanket statements about cops or minorities.
