Nick,
Talk is going around that this incident has already changed the perspective of a lot of citizens.
The protest in Dallas was for "Black Lives Matter" (ie. anti-police).
100 officers were there to make sure the protesters were not heckled or harassed, but were allowed to practice their first amendment right.
The protest ended and a march ensued through downtown Dallas where police had blocked off streets for them to do so, while 100 officers lined the streets they were marching on to protect them.
And then ...... snipers open fire on the police officers.
At this time, one sniper is cornered and talking with negotiator.
Chief of police says that the snipers planned to kill as many officers as possible, and also plant bombs.
FBI was called in to do bomb search.
11 officers injured
4 dead
1 civilian was injured
some were shot in the back
