And apparently there are bombs planted around the area.
These people are idiots.
Yes the police did kill 2 innocent men, but there is no need to go and kill other police who may have family.
America is a country that is going backwards all because they love their guns too much.
Black lives matter?
All lives matter, no matter what colour you are.
It is about what actions you take, not what you look like or where you come from.

More black people were killed by US police in 2015 than were lynched in the worst year of Jim Crow

After the disturbing deaths of Alton Sterling and Philando Castile at the hands of law enforcement officers this week, racial bias and police brutality have once again become heated subjects in the US. Several online commenters have noted that the safety of black Americans doesn’t seem to have improved much since Jim Crow laws were struck down in 1965. In fact, US police seem to be killing more black citizens today than were lynched at the height of US segregation.
Following the lead of Twitter user @such_A_frknlady, Quartz checked the data. According to the historic record “Lynchings, white and negroes” (pdf) kept by Alabama’s Tuskegee University, a total of 2,911 black Americans were lynched between 1890 and 1965, when the so-called Jim Crow laws were enforced. Beginning in the 1890s, these racist laws segregated black Americans in several states until about 1965. During this time, black Americans were often victims of unspeakable violence, and infamous extrajudicial lynchings.
On an average, 39 black people were lynched per year under Jim Crow. In 1892, the worst year, 161 black Americans were lynched.
More than a century later, the numbers have hardly improved. In 2015,258 black people were killed by US police, representing over 26% of deaths.
For 2016, the trend seems similar. As of July 7, US police have shot dead 509 people this year, of whom 123 were black.
Even counting only the deaths of black people who were unarmed, the results are staggering. A conservative count puts that death toll at 38, right in line with the average during Jim Crow.

There is blatant racism of black people in a few states in America by cops and also ordinary white folk.
I don't know if anyone heard joe duffy yesterday but he had a lady on who had a niece and her brother
who was retired in the us police dept in Dallas and she was so racist it beggars belief. She even said to joe
at one stage I just don't like THEM {black people} so I was thinking how her brother and niece viewed them.
