2:29Now PlayingDuring a Black Lives Matter protest in Dallas, a snipers opened fire on police officers. Five officers have been killed in the attack. Cenk Uygur, Ana Kasparian, and Ben Gleib, hosts of The Young Turks, break it down. Tell us what you think in the comment section below.
“DALLAS — A military veteran who said his goal was to kill white police officers opened fire Thursday night in downtown Dallas, leaving five officers dead and seven wounded before the police killed him with a remote-controlled explosive delivered by a robot, officials said.
The gunfire erupted just before 9 p.m., aimed at officers who were monitoring a demonstration by thousands of people protesting the fatal shootings earlier in the week of black men by police officers in Minnesota and Louisiana. The peaceful march quickly gave way to chaos and screams as terrified people, including families with children, ran for cover, while police officers with guns drawn ran the other way, toward the shooting, and returned fire. Two civilians were wounded by gunfire.
During a standoff that lasted for hours after the attack, the sniper said he wanted to kill more officers, claimed — apparently falsely — to have planted explosives in the area, and told police negotiators that “he was upset about Black Lives Matter,” the Dallas police chief, David O. Brown, said on Friday.
“He said he was upset about the recent police shootings,” Chief Brown said. “The suspect said he was upset at white people. The suspect stated he wanted to kill white people, especially white officers.”
