4GW in Dallas

https://voxday.blogspot.com/2016/07/4gw-in-dallas.html

U.S. police have had this sort of response coming for a long time. Spacebunny and I were just talking yesterday about the shooting in Falcon Heights, which is very close to where we used to spend our Friday nights wandering the stacks at the Barnes & Noble, and how the police are never held accountable for lethally shooting people.
As Spacebunny tweeted:

• I called Dallas last week.  Not in Dallas, but the retaliation. 
• They created the climate by constantly and systematically protecting their own.
• Everyone should be held accountable for their mistakes.  Especially when it costs someone their life.
• If you don't fix the general problem of cops literally getting away with murder, people will be sniping them all over. 
• The problem is very obviously systemic. Everyone knows nothing is going to happen to a cop who kills someone

As of November, 1024 people were killed by police in 2015, 204 of them unarmed. For all that the police almost uniformly claimed to have been fearing for their lives, only 34 police were shot and killed during the same period. The public may be collectively stupid, but they're not incapable of recognizing that statistical imbalance or that the police are trained to lie, obfuscate, and pretend that they are in danger when they are not.
