11 Police Officers Shot, 5 Dead in Dallas

This has been a week for shocking headlines. And now this one, from ABC News:

Eleven police officers were shot ambush-style, including five fatally, in Dallas Thursday night by at least two snipers, amid a protest against the recent police shootings of two black men, Alton Sterling in Louisiana, and Philando Castile in Minnesota, according to the Dallas Police.

One of the suspects had engaged in a standoff for several hours with police, but a Dallas city official announced around 3:30 a.m. that it was over. It was not immediately known what his condition was.

The condition of the six wounded officers remains unknown. One civilian was also injured.

Officials said the gunmen aimed to kill as many officers as possible.

You do know what the result of this will be, don't you? Cops who were already racist will become even more so. Cops who weren't profiling blacks will likely start.

We already had two armed black men shot dead this week. After Dallas, don't be surprised if already nervous cops aren't just a little more trigger happy.

By the way, remember what I said yesterday? About Democratic mayors in all these towns where shootings of black people happen? The mayor of Dallas is a Democrat too.
