Very sad, the country is in deep trouble. The only thing that keeps us from total chaos are the Police. For an animal to do something like this, it takes a level of evil like no other.
It's probably going to continue and may even increase. Anger, discord and violence, stoked by an agenda of hate and divisiveness. It's not the way to sow peace.

Agreed. Going to be a long, hot summer reminiscent of the 60s and 70s.
Just mentioned that a pawn shop was broken into and gas were stolen. When I first heard the comment I was like you wtf could of happen on Tuesday to cause this.
I think it was last Tuesday and Wednesday when the
In the streets of Cleveland this week. 5,000 officers and god knows how many protestors stirring shit up in this climate.
This is terrible.
For most accounts the protests have been peaceful. Obviously you had the loan gunman in Dallas, but I know someone who protested in Atlanta and said it was very peaceful. Allot of people interviewed in Dallas said it was peaceful until the shooter started sniping.

The Atlanta protests were peaceful during the day, but got a little rowdy at night with protestors trying to shut down the connector (the highway that runs through most of Atlanta).
My husband was in Chicago and saw a demonstration where they were chanting about dead cops, while being protected by cops of course.

2 incidents are awful but I'm not as pessimistic. Many protestors are speaking about peace and nonviolence.

I'm not basing my comments on the protestors. I agree they're likely to remain non-violent. I'm talking about a summer of hate pitting races again each other and law enforcement in the cross-hairs.

There are many nuts out there and that's a cause for concern but there's also a significant movement for peaceful demonstrations. I hope they prevail. I believe the long term consequence will be this crap makes it all the harder to recruit quality people in LE.

Maybe the protesters need to find another way to demonstrate? How many peaceful demonstrations makes this ok? 15? 20? The cost is way too rich for my blood

How were the protestors being "protected" by the cops? Why would a group of several thousand people, a lot of them young men, need protection? Who was going to get them?

The convention in Cleveland was already going to be an explosive situation due to how polarizing the GOP nominee is. But when you add in the fact that this is a particularly combustible point in time for the country with the events that have occurred over the last couple weeks, you can only hope that Ohio and the city will be as prepared as they possibly can to prevent any deadly incidents.

WTF could anything that happened Tuesday have to do with this heinous act..?
And yes, a plot was discovered where people stole guns and were going to ambush cops. I don't think they caught all the guys involved.
This is terrible.

I agree but that is irrelevant now because these things are an easy target for a nut job. Something has to change

And so were the incident(s) they were protesting. And the vast majority of police are not racists and murderers.
But then again perhaps a bit of confirmation bias clouding both of our perspectives.
Likewise, 99.9% of cops are good people, but it's the 0.01% that give them a bad name.
I really fear where this is going to lead. There's too much hate and division in this country and people prey upon that for their own benefit.
Cleveland and Philadelphia will be interesting.
probably right about the time there's peace and harmony on Earth.
