Dude was a reservist and he did that much damage to Dallas PD? Just wow. More interesting is the reaction by many.
People actually thought that the necessary skill set to effectively handle weapons resided only in the white community? I don't know whether to be offended or laugh my ass off.
The bigger concern is how a couple of determined people were able to shut down a city center. That is ominous. I'm still waiting to see what this guys training was like and get a glimpse of his skill set.....but this is ominous....we are not ready for a Paris style attack much less the madness of Mumbai.
These guys had training. From the statements of the Dallas Chief they sound like they're black. He also said that they're looking to get to the bottom of this and any other people involved.
This is beyond gang stuff. Black Panthers are aging. A black militia group? Is that possible? Black Muslims? Or just a guy and his buddies that decided to go on a killing spree?
One last thing. I'm wondering. If these guys are just civilian shooters and have no training then why did they diagram such an effective attack on the DPD. This still isn't making sense.
PS. SAVE YOUR DRAMA! I only go where my experience or information takes me. A black militia group is the only body that I believe would allow people of a similar mindset gather to share training, gear etc...it might distasteful for you to think about (so if it is stop sending me e-mails!) but it does seem logical to me.
I just watched the interview with the Dallas Mayor and he says he can't rule out terrorism. Additionally he says that the suspects are not cooperating and that they're trying to find out who's behind them.
Could we be looking at a major terrorist event?
These guys were prepped. They were too well prepared for this to have been pulled together in the days since we saw the police shootings that sparked the protests.
Additionally we don't know how these guys were equipped. There might be alot more to this than any of us suspect.
Consider this. I've theorized that its white supremacists. But that theory has a serious hole in it. Why would they attack police? They had a target rich environment of black people to shoot at. Why go after police when you can go after your number two enemy right after Jews?
If its black people then why strike during a black lives matter protest? You could get bigger bang for the buck and terrorize the police dept by attacking those guys on patrol.
Could it be sovereign citizens? A terrorist group? Even ISIS?
Something is off on this thing and the authorities are getting their story together. The thing that has me spinning is the assault on that police officer. That guy was trained up. He had some good CQB, and handled his weapon well. Additionally he appeared (from what I could make out) to be in much better shape than his victim. The race/nationality of the attackers will tell us much. Why aren't they telling us? This thing is a tragedy with a terrible smell on it. I just can't put my finger on it.
Notice the aggressiveness in his actions? Notice the way he's holding his weapon? Do you see the combat glide he's utilizing and how he keeps his weapon sights up while he closes in on his target?
This son of a bitch had at least basic military training and I'd bet a bit more. I don't know who these guys were but they are committed to whatever cause they have and they trained up to carry this out. I can't quite make out his clothing but they appear to be the tacti-cool variety real popular in most parts of the shooting community.
We're seeing something evil here. This is exhibit one of this going from bad to worse. If its what I think and its White Supremacists then you can probably expect another attack real soon.
1. Getting serious in Big D. UPDATED! 10 Dallas Officers shot with 3 Dead.
And so it begins.
2. Another one shot. That makes 11.
3. Person of interest is a black male, about 25-30...unable to determine height from the pic, stocky muscular build with an AR-15. Wearing a camo T-shirt (woodland pattern), short cropped shair with goatee.
I wonder if he has military training?Is this how it all kicks off?
4. Listening to the Dallas Police Chief and the Mayor's press conference. Dallas Mayor calls for coming together. I'm getting real tired of hearing that. The time to come together has passed.
5. Feeling conflicted about this. I should be upset that police were killed but I can't get there. Interesting. I wonder if my feelings are being echoed by others....I should want the bastard that shot the officers to die a horrible death. I can't get there. Instead I'm just feeling cold. Quite honestly and its disturbing for me but I'm sitting here just waiting for the next shoe to drop. Is it this easy to slip into a just don't give a damn stage?
6. Brother of person of interest says that the gun was unloaded and that police confiscated the rifle later in the protest...even though Texas is an open carry state. This is getting more and more interesting.
7. Getting reports of 5 dead officers. 8. Reports are circulating that the "person of interest" was at ground level when the shooting started. I REALLY BELIEVE WE'RE SEEING THE WORK OF WHITE SUPREMACISTS! This is the perfect venue for them to go active. 9. Modern policing is based on the consent of society. When society decides that police are becoming oppressors then you see society no longer accepting that policing. That's what we're seeing. The consent of the people is being withdrawn. Expect chaos. 10. I'm expecting the declaration of a city wide emergency in Dallas soon. Additionally I expect National Guard to be activated if this isn't resolved by daylight.

Comey is testifying to save the reputation of the FBI. He will fail. Unfortunately for him, too many followed this case and too many are familiar with how others...especially service members are treated for mishandling confidential information.
The FBI is untrustworthy. The military is broken and is only a social experiment gone bad. Law Enforcement is not to be trusted....too many power mad idiots that shoot even the innocent. Even the church has lost its way and no longer seems to have a moral compass. The institutional fabric of our nation has been destroyed. Its only a matter of time till the social fabric follows suit.
murdered outWhen a vehicle has both black paint and black aftermarket wheels. The window tint should also be really dark and other aftermarket accessories such as black taillight covers etc. should aid in blacking out the ride.
I'm not a fan of the SPMAGTF-CR. I think that the formation is too light to fight and win, is costly, provides limited capacity and promotes unnecessary wear and tear on our aircraft.
Having said that, the Marine Corps seems wedded to the idea so its time to make it better.
One way would be to dump the Growler and adopt MRZR's.
The MRZR's are being adopted by not only SOCOM but also US Army Airborne. They have a few modifications to make them suitable for military use but at their core they're off the shelf vehicles that can do everything the Growler can only better.
This is so simple an idea that it should be done today. Simply piggy back off Army buys and even bring some of their instructors over to teach our teachers or give them travel pay, put them on temporary duty and have them do a tour of Marine bases giving off road driving and maintenance courses.
The Marine Corps was the leader with the internally carried vehicle going back to before the Vietnam war. The Mini Mite (pic to the right) was basically a cut down jeep.
We tried to do it again with the Growler. Unfortunately we failed and the vehicle is substandard (in my opinion). Its easily fixed and now that we're seeing the Army adopt our original idea, there is no reason for us to reinvent the wheel when they lucked upon a better solution. Besides. The drama over the selection of the Growler needs to be washed from Marine Corps history. Its time to reclaim our heritage of doing more with less and not relying on gold plated solutions to basic problems.
