Dallas police shooting: 'Black Power group' claims responsibility for police killings and warns of more assassinations to come

"More Will Be Assassinated In The Coming Days! Do You Like The Work Of Our Assassins? Get Your Own Sniper" read a post on the Black Power Political Organisation Facebook account

A self-proclaimed black power group appears to have claimed responsibility for the assassinations of five police officers at a Black Lives Matter protest in Dallas.

Five officers were gunned down by at least two shooters who picked out officers from an 'elevated position' - believed to be a multi-storey car park.

It came in the week of public outrage over the deaths of two black men shot by police this week.

I'm not proud of it, but months and months ago I predicted events such as these taking place if the police did not stop killing unarmed people. If anyone does not think these shootings in Dallas are directly related to black people being shot by cops, especially the two most recent killings, you will indeed see more of these since you refuse to see the obvious and take corrective actions.

It is one thing to shoot someone who is a threat to a cop or citizen, but it is quite another to shoot someone who poses no real threat to anyone, as is the case of the two most recent killings by police.

Utilize better training and tactics than has been used, and get rid of that trainer who teaches police to shoot first and justify it later. He has been sending the wrong information to police for far too long and has cost taxpayers hundreds of millions of dollars in lawsuit settlements.

Get off the steroids, stop with the macho crap and stop being scared of your own shadow. Things HAVE to change. If we continue down this road much longer there will soon be total chaos in the streets, unless that is the desired outcome.

As a black American (tax-paying, business owning veteran) apparently the Second Amendment doesn't apply to me.

If black lives truly matter, then start with your own crimes against each other. YOU are the problem because you don't respect yourselves, your race or others. Where is the outrage against black on black crime? When you address that issue, maybe you'll gain more respect from the rest of us.

1109 I'm sure you're basking in your psychic abilities but we don't know the whole story behind the MN or LA situations. Even if video was taken, first you have to ascertain what occurred before the video started rolling. One snippet of time makes not for a full understanding of circumstances. Yet, people like you and President Obama, jump to conclusions before body bags enter the scene, merely looking at a tiny video. A video that has reversed the steering wheel! While cell cameras flip images the video orientation stays in tact.

Armchair warriors are fascinating as they jump to judgment and then go silent when all the facts vindicate the police. Yet, you still bring them up for scrutiny long after the facts refute the initial judgment. Examples: Fergusson and Baltimore. In both situations, police officers were acquitted by juries for wrong doing yet they're still reference today as if criminal trials never occurred. Make sense?

Why don't we WAIT until the findings of investigations are released before going to our local Kinko's to have signage created for the big march!

It's truly horrible what has happened in
the " taking " of the most recent 2 lives
of people.

I can understand why the police are quick
to respond with soooo much crime out on
the streets----It' s kill or be killed
BUT to literally shoot someone to death
with 4 shots---OH MY God this is insane.
This cop and any others
like him are a threat to Americans!!

@11:13 am...you cannot compare black on black crine to unjustifiable shootings of unarmed blacks by those who are sworn and paid to protect. Thugs have no honor and is not a prestigious position. My children should feel safe with any police officer not just the black ones. You comment continues to show racism at it's best, continue to blame the victim, ignore the real problems.

The fact is that Obama has caused the mayhem and bloodshed that has spread across our nation. Obama has been in the process of jump starting his own personal Communist coup d'etat. The fires of hatred for law enforcement have been fanned by Obama/Soros sponsored radical Communists. Violence toward law enforcement is intentionally being incited by Obama/Soros as a class division strategy lifted directly from the Communist Manifesto. This is about politics, people are irrelevant to the Marxist state. Obama needs to be impeached and our government needs to address the REAL problem, the Democratic Party's destruction of the nuclear family, individual responsibility, and morality.

Thornton Crowe said...

11:48, didn't my comment say that President Obama was 55% responsible? Did I say he was 100%? No, I don't think so. (Reading comprehension) I agree that people are most certainly responsible for their own culpability in every situation; however, our president's incendiary statements and public damnations are designed to Fire Up the People! This is divisive. Hitler did it. Mussolini did it. Putin does it. In fact, every politician and world leader does this to an extent. However, as a person who before elected promised unity, he has failed miserably.

We're more divided now than we were three months ago. Its been an incremental breakdown of law and order, respect and acceptance. Surely, unless some are living in dark caves, we've all noticed the changes within our society. The collective mood is quite dire and abysmal. Economic restrictions have also aided in this social unrest.

He's been feeding the minds of people so married to him they don't see where he's been more foe than friend to them. This has nothing to do with race. This is just out and out bad management of our country's affairs.

11:58 That's not going to happen and it's a violation of our First Amendment to even wish it. However, the Panthers shouldn't resort to violence to get their points across to America. That's illegal. There's more than enough legal means to assert their point without hurting others physically. Something Martin Luther King, Jr. tried to instill upon them in the Sixties. Peaceful demonstrations - ones that demonstrate a strong argument, are the ones that get people's attention - not vigilante actions. The latter only goes to forging a deeper gap and justify why Black people get the short end!

What a huge tragedy for the Dallas Policed Department, they were on the street to protect the Black lives matter protesters, and they were shoot down like dogs!!!!! One protester (Black) by the way told Fox news last night that many of his friends were on the streets carrying rifles and he pleaded with them to give their weapons up to the police before something bad happened, Maybe he should of went to the police instead of Fox news. I just don't believe what I heard him say.

Thornton Crowe said...

12:14, I did say politicians... did I not? Even though I guess we could argue Trump isn't a politician, he does fit in that category to most now. Yes, Trump does it, too. He's yelling about making the country great again. I'd much rather have that then someone telling us how horrible we are and how we should apologize to the world. But yes, even though I could almost hear the tinge of sarcasm in your comment, Trump is a pontificater, too, but he doesn't have the ill-will as some of the others.

Love and respect alone are not going to solve this problem now! Must be part of the solution though.

The president shares the blame. He has never tried to help the country heal from these situations and only antagonizes the situations. The fact that cops brought this on themselves is utter crap!

Lets not forget BLM groups going around chanting to kill cops.

Al Sharpen and is ilk as well. If you incite people long enough they will follow through.

This has been in the making since Brown was killed.

You do realize that police officers can only rely on their training, experience, and gut instinct to judge a situation or end up DEAD. They tell you to put your hands up to ensure that you have no weapon to kill them with. And that you can't access one while their guard is down. Reaching for anything but air without being instructed to could mean imminent danger and they have the right to protect themselves and a responsibility to protect the idiot rubberneckers who are nearby. How hard is it to follow instructions and bitch later? With all the publicity and TV shows about cops, you would think people would learn!

Doesn't take psychic abilities to know the cop was wrong in this case, he even gave multiple clues by shouting expletives after he shot the guy for COMPLYING with his orders. You talk a lot but you don't say anything. And it's people like you who never see a problem, believe anything you are told that has gotten us to this point. He was licensed to carry, no record etc. so yeah he must have been a real gangster. Go sit on the couch and be quiet. Things are bad enough without your kind making them worse.

12:47 the one in MN was NOT complying at ALL. He was told and this was witnessed by at least one bystander to keep his hands in the air. His own girl friend is saying he was reaching to get his wallet or something definitely NOT complying so stop saying that lie.

1:10-The Sheriff’s Office at first said he did not have a permit nor asked for one. He has a history of driving with no license or insurance for years. Hardly no record. If someone who drives for years with no license and no insurance, plus actively claims they are Crips can get a CC, then something is wrong.

Do not repeat misinformation. At this time there is zero evidence that Castile said he had a permit or that he even had one. Don't you think if he did the liberal MN governor would have had it displayed all over the media by now? Yes!!!! The HCSO is now saying "per state law all data about applications for permits to carry a firearm is private data." Also the girlfriend witness has contradicted herself four or five times already.

LA: Cops are called by someone; thought I saw a note about man with gun; haven't verified that. Dead man was a felon and apparently was armed. For whatever reason, struggle ensued. Was on ground when shot; unclear if hands were free or if he was reaching for gun. Clearly wasn't an altarboy but we'll learn more about why they wanted to put him in custody.

MN: Stop for bad tail light; provides probable cause for a stop. Dead man was passenger? Had conceal carry permit and apparently told cop. But appears not to follow instructions to keep hands in sight. Hand closest to door and not visible to cop is one he's reaching for wallet? Permit? Gun? Cop shoots and girlfriend decides to make a movie. Small child and marijuana in car. Lots of questions about this one. Officer is said to be Asian. Don't know if adults had been smoking the weed and responses to officer impaired?

Dallas: Premeditated murder with many details unclear. Won't help cops to be more relaxed on calls due to ambush concerns. Big step backward in reducing tension.

“I’m going to stop a car,” the officer says on the recording. “I’m going to check IDs. I have reason to pull it over.”

“The two occupants just look like people that were involved in a robbery,” the officer says. “The driver looks more like one of our suspects, just ‘cause of the wide set nose,” the officer continues."

The surveillance photos of the robbery suspects are online. He looks just like the gunman and odd enough the robbers glasses and shoes look just like some seen worn by him in his FB photos. Imagine that.

You people act as if the killings are isolated just to police. Sorry AAs you kill each other at a rate of 150 to 1 over police involved killings. More Whites are killed by police but that does not fit your racist agenda. I imagine the murder rate of black on black if there were no police. Some weekends in America over 100 Blacks die at the hand of another Black. When people stop acting like animals the cops can start being cops again. I blame you and your racist president for this. Baltimore and Ferguson are prime examples of Blacks speaking without the facts. A city burned and a Black judge calls out a racist prosecutor as a liar. Enough said stop this knee jerk response to the inevitable police will kill people. It will never stop regardless of the color. They will make mistakes and yes some cops are just crazy MFrs. They need to be dealt with but killing innocent men and women will only incite violence. Clean up your own back yard first. Then look for credibility from good Americans of all colors.

I could understand if these men were minding their own business; however, I don't pack heat when I'm going to the grocery store. The one in MN had robbed a store a couple days before. So he wasn't shot over a stupid taillight as many have been crying.

he was moving his hands BACK up after the cop told him to stop reaching for id, that is when he got shot. It matters little. He is dead when he should be alive. It is disturbing enough to have police kill people for no good reason, but then we have stooges bending over backwards to find the smallest of possible justifications for deadly force when there is none.

Minnesota's own governor has stated he probably would not have been shot if he had been white. So I think I will go with the governor who should know much more about it than either of us. But by all means, keep fanning the flames and posting rumors and inaccuracies.
