    I saw footage of cop hating protesters scattering in every direction away from the gunfire when the bullets started flying. Which direction do you think the cops were running?

    I heard an interview on the radio with the leader of the BLM protesters who described how he and the rest of the protesters ran away from the gunshots and passed the police officers running the other way towards the gunshots.

    I wonder if he attempted to stop any of the black officers from doing so because , after all, #blacklivesmatter.

    Unless they are a cop, then they are an Uncle Tom who deserves everything they get

    Yeah, they should definitely have risked their lives using conventional methods to capture/kill the guy who had already shot 11 of them.

    Wouldn't want people to think they are cowards after all.

    What is your point exactly or is this just more teenage, anti-police bollocks?
    Sorry you got confused so easily there. Since you weren't able to or just plain don't like reading stuff, this conversation was about about people calling the shooter a "coward" and then pretty much just waffling ****e when asked to explain why.
    You're welcome.

    Sniping 11 unsuspecting cops who are policing a peaceful protest is a pretty cowardly thing to do.

    The fact that you are trying to even sort of defend this piece of human garbage is fairly detestable.

    As I read it, he wasn't defending him, he was arguing the point of being called a coward.

    Which is technically true, a coward wouldn't have put round after round into innocent people.

    Doesn't make the shooter any less of a wánker though.

    He knew he was facing a 99% chance of death with a 1% chance of daily beating for the rest of his life in the deepest put the US penitential system has to offer.
    I never once defended what he did, so thanks yet again for failing or just being incapable of reading what I posted. This is irrelevant to whether he is a coward or not. Are all snipers cowards? He didn't even stay sniping, he went to ground level and took on the Dallas police man to man.
    Honestly, is this a game where you read every third word on the thread and then formulate a response that has to have a certain combination of letters in it regardless of whether it makes sense or not?

    It's interesting that some people are insistent that the shooter was a coward when the police themselves used a remote controlled robot to blow up the suspect.
    Brave brave joystick operator...

    Says the keyboard warrior. You would have charged in and disarmed him no doubt.

    So you're saying the police aren't brave. OK.
    Shooter puts his life on the line (for ****ed up reasons, yes) and the police won't. Who's the coward?

    You may use that confused smiley a bit more. You are using the word coward incorrectly.

    Coward - lacking in the courage to do or endure dangerous or unpleasant things.

    This was deeply unpleasant. And as we have seen, by one of them getting blown the fúck up, dangerous. Now, a coward may have attacked someone that had no chance of defending or retaliating.

    Noone is calling him/them brave, not by any stretch of the imagination.

    Use the report button. Works for me. Don't just assume mods will know that you have an issue.

    So it that because:
    1. "99% of people agree with me".
    2. "I said so".
    3. "You have an agenda"

    Perhaps all three for the clean sweep in non-sequitur bingo?

    LOL, another can't/won't read. This is a conversation about whether the shooter was a coward or not, as alleged by several posters here. Why don't you have a go at finding where I praised what he actually did there while I put the kettle on and get geared up for a good laugh.

    He is really im afraid :confused:

    He is suggesting that the murder was willing to risk more that the police.

    Im afraid theres something more than just a childish and alarming lack of understanding the situation wrong with this kid

    Suggesting? The shooter risked his life, the police sent in a robot. These are cast iron facts, not suggestions. Now you can say risking your life is cowardly and using a robot is brave if you like, but we're into redefining pretty much universally accepted words of the English language then at that stage.

    Well, on a completely unrelated issue, its not unusual for people with recent join dates to take controversial positions that go against the grain and excite a lot of responses.

    do you understand that the police have different goals in this situation that the murder ?

    do you understand that ideally in such a situation that the police want a active shooter to surrender or to take his alive in order to interview understand motives find out where his weapons and equipment come from , if he is part of a organisation or a lone wolf style thing ?

    your understanding of the jail system in america is also childishly based on watchingtoo many Tv shows.

    Your really painting your self in a very deluded light :confused:

    Couldn't give a monkey's about your lame insults TBH. "your" welcome.
    Back to school again I'm afraid for you. I never said the police shouldn't use a robot, or that their tactics didn't get the job done.
    Now, once more with feeling: what has this to do with the shooter apparently being a "coward"? You know, (if you actually do) the topic of this conversation?

    That's a nobrainer. To reasonable people.

    Yeah, anyone who wants to own a gun in a country with such high crime must be a wacko.
