Dallas Cops Lethally Shot Because Black Lives Don't Matter
by Stephen Lendman
Unaccountable killer cops turning Black communities into battlegrounds made overnight Thursday's incident inevitable.
It was just a matter of time - nor likely the last instance of justifiable public outrage exploding. People and communities take so much before reacting.
Until killer cops are held accountable for false arrests, extreme brutality, other forms of abuse and murdering Black youths, Dallas may prove a shot across the bow for what's to come - a declaration of war against longstanding injustice.
This week's headline-making police executions of Alton Sterling and Philando Castile in Baton Rouge and Falcon Heights, MN respectively reflect daily incidents across America - cops brutalizing Blacks unaccountably, over 1,000 cop killings in 2015, disproportionately affecting unarmed Blacks.
According to Dallas police chief David Brown, snipers opened fire on police around 8:45PM Thursday - five officers killed, 10 wounded, some seriously, Brown saying suspects intended planting explosives at downtown Dallas locations.
