Dallas Standoff Over, Details Emerging About Shooters
There isn’t much verified information yet on the identities of the suspects in tonight’s nightmarish shootings in Dallas, but CNN has an account from an eyewitness who described the attack on police as “an execution.”
The assailant got out of a Chevy Tahoe SUV wearing what Dejesus described as tactical clothing.
“Man had a rifle, AR-15, clear as day. Pretty big magazine. You can see towards the end of the video here that he goes ahead and drops a few mags.”
“He had multiple pockets, he had three to four pockets in front of his pants. He definitely looked like he was wearing something in his shirt.”
“He got out of there, walked over to the pillar, put a magazine in and started firing.”
“It did look planned. He knew where to stand. He had ammo ready.”
“They weren’t short mags. They were high-capacity magazines.”
Right wingers on Twitter are already blaming the shootings on Black Lives Matter before there’s any evidence for it — because that’s what they do. For example, Breitbart “News” propagandist Milo Yiannopoulos:
Black Lives Matter now gunning down police officers. Time to classify it as a terrorist organization. We need President @realDonaldTrump.
