Many times the media referred to "armor", and it usually turned out to NOT be armor.
I agree.
Not an organization? Well, They have a website. I wonder what THEY say they are?
Oh. Here it is...
Black Lives Matter is a chapter-based national organization working for the validity of Black life. We are working to (re)build the Black liberation movement.
So THEY say they are a chapter based national organization.

That one cat in the "pillar" video obviously has had physical training which can be gained almost anywhere these days (you tube mostly) But the part that sticks out to me is the mental aspect. This guy has been in a gat battle/s before to the point where he can make sound judgments without hesitation. It's a shame that this has happened, where do we go from here?

Some things I find interesting.
Headlines on this incident universally do not mention the race of the suspects or the officers. Headlines of politicized police shootings do include race, and have since at least Ferguson.
Obama talks about people and actions when it's the big mean police vs minorities. When police are murdered for being police, it's about the guns.
Obama doesn't find facts relevant when police are accused of misconduct, although if it turns out you did everything right you might get a free beer. Now his statement is "We still don't know all the facts, we do know there's been a vicious....act on law enforcement." Not an attack, mind you, an act. The facts are apparently relevant on this one.
The media is already setting the narrative. Dallas PD is a bunch of meanies. They tweeted the photo of a 'suspect' who turned out to be innocent. Yup, quotation marks around 'suspect' in the headline, like he wasn't REALLY a suspect. Why not just say it? Yup, we're glad these cops got killed because it will make more clicks for us. The longer we keep the controversy going, the more money we make. Hey, maybe they should have stayed in their cars, right? That'll get'em going. There is truly no shame in media or politics.

Call the national guard in. Shoot anyone who refuses to clear the streets. ****in terrorists.
[SUB]that seems a bit excessive[/SUB]
As far as reasonable solutions go.... what is there? People are mad (some rightfully, some based on nonsense) and acting out. Is it a result of poor leadership? If we call it "violent rhetoric", then we're saying people aren't in control of themselves.
If a person is killed by an authority, what is the reasonable response? What will keep the response from turning violent like this?
Is society to blame?
Is politics to blame?
Are we going to get a Charleston-esque response where we find a new flag to ban?
I get the desire to continue calling BLM "non-violent"... until it is. Occupy was non-violent, too... up until the rapes and bomb threats. There are extremes and splinters in these sorts of groups that reflect poorly on the group as a whole... sure. But the BLM "movement" has been using violent rhetoric since Ferguson (**** the police, "what do we want, dead cops", pigs in a blanket, etc)

I will agree about prior gunfight part. But I don't think he looks like he picked his movement up from YouTube.
The police dropped 2 bombs from a helicopter in 1985 killing several people and burning down some 60 homes. Pretty ugly situation.

Hmmm...maybe it's just a figment of my imagination, but I recall the Tea Party being first ridiculed, then accused of being a racist organization, with barely restrained violent tendencies just under the surface.
I also recall attending a TP rally in downtown Indy that was so peaceful, so well ordered, so full of polite, courteous people, that it felt more like a picnic than a protest of several thousand.
At the end, the place was so clean that there was quite literally not even so much as a single gum wrapper on the ground.
What a juxtaposition.

Probably from the supply the EOD section keeps to detonate bombs in a controlled manner...
Flipped over to 96.3 FM a celeb caller was talking to the host about Dallas and said that when "you kill a Russian, Russians come and see you" and that "we need to have a plan" and "be willing to follow it when needed". The host did not stop him and agreed with him, it sounds to me like they're inciting violence on that show.
