Three weeks ago, a Black Lives Matter march was staged in downtown Dallas by the Next Generation Action Network, a local activist group based here in Texas. During that march, a lone sniper ambushed police officers, shooting 14 of them. Five of the officers died. It was the single worst casualty incident of first responders since 9/11. The sniper was eventually killed by the police and in the following investigation they discovered that he was not affiliated with the protesters or any other Black Lives Matter organization. However, his sentiments were clear in that he told the police, right before they killed him, that his goal was to shoot and kill as many white police officers as possible.
On July 29, this same group called for another march to protest police violence in the United States. Fortunately, this time the march ended peacefully.
I want to thank everyone for the comments.
