It's bad to kill people just because you disagree with them. This is the ultimate example of the breakdown of discourse in America.

the cops said that before they sent in a robot with a bomb to murder him, the alleged shooter said he was "upset about black lives matter" and he wanted to kill white people.

You've gotta have some admiration for a leader who can still get so hard on message before the blood of his dead subordinates has congealed. That's real dedication to spraying divisive racist shit and deflecting any hint of responsibility, criticism, or self criticism.

I'm almost surprised that no definitely guilty suspects who are likewise so black and guilty that a trial would be redundantly pointless have admitted in a secret communication to the police moments before being shot that they pledge allegiance to Isis on behalf of all BLM, of whom they are the official secret president and spiritual leader, but the day isn't over yet.

It would be interesting to see the chapter of the Dallas pd operations manual which covers the situations and procedures for the use of robot bombs for apprehending suspects in the middle of a crowded city as well as the legal opinions supporting such a tactic and the actually existing law which grants the police the authority to create and deploy explosive devices against civilians. I imagine these documents will soon be published to show how such action was actually legal and not just a criminal homicide, destruction of property and evidence that it appears to be to the obviously uneducated outside observer.

some white marxist on twitter is posting trotskyist nonsense about how "acts of terror" strengthen the police and undermine movements, which is true in any case, but what the contemporary left in general, as far as i know, fail to comprehend in these situations is the particular character of the terror.

it has been established that regardless of the violence or non-violence of the black liberation struggle specifically, the police will continue to develop disproportionately to the struggle in a technical and juridical sense. it was established yesterday with the blue alert bill, a month ago with the blue lives matter bill, every year in which arms manufacturers and contractors have dumped their surplus of military-grade weaponry into police armories, and every single day since the black lives matter movement developed to its present state, in a mass political form.

the statement that things are going to "get worse" is no great insight; it's a process that constantly materializes and reproduces itself daily in the lives of the oppressed, and i don't believe anyone should put themselves through the unnecessary grief of trying to apologize for the action.

what happened in dallas constitutes a potentially revolutionary act (not an "insurrection") upon the development of the struggle and nothing more. whether a revolutionary vanguard can develop under conditions of such intense reaction, or rather if the struggle is able to advance effectively at all, in the future remains to be seen.


There's no revolutionary potential in this. Unilateral acts of terrorism like this, in the absence of a revolutionary vanguard, can only bolster reactionary forces and the state.

Was the suspect wearing a gas mask such that it was impossible to use legal nonlethal tear gas to force him to surrender? Did he have a supply of food and water designed to be consumed without breaking the seal of the mask so that teargas would never be effective? Is a rampaging negro immune to flash/bang disorientation grenades while in the throes of the marijuana induced blood rage so common to those people? Did the police thoroughly evacuate all civilians from the area before detonating a bomb in the middle of the 4th largest city in America? Was the bomb designed and built by an explosives expert and sure to not explode prematurely, placing other lives in danger? Was the power of the bomb calculated to not inflict excessive damage and put the community at risk from flying debris? Is the deployment of bombs in an urban setting such a routine event that police were able to get their hands on such a perfectly suitable one in just a few hours? Was the suspect known to not have any explosives of his own which could have caused a secondary explosion putting the community at risk? Was the suspects statement that IEDs were deployed in the area known to be 100% false?

Naturally the answers to all these questions are yes, because you can trust the police to serve and protect the good people of this great nation with honor, courage, and professionalism.

It's interesting that the cops don't have a robot specifically designed for delivering bombs. They have a robot for investigating bombs or whatever, but they lack a specific bomb-delivery platform.

you know they should really start dropping flyers israel-style now to tell people to get out of town so the bombs don't interfere with anybody's human rights.

in america, you can also see that the development of the black panthers was spurred on by watts, detroit, etc. where armed actions were fairly prevalent but disorganized and undisciplined. snipers played a fairly large role in the detroit rising too.

there is revolutionary potential in this in the same way that was evident to newton, jackson, and eldridge back then.


I admire your optimism but I disagree. Riots absolutely have revolutionary potential, and snipers can have a productive role in that context (mass battles, albeit disorganised). What just happened in Dallas, in the context of a peaceful protest, bears no relation. It is mere provocation, and while it provokes both sides it clearly plays into the hands of reactionaries. I appreciate your point about the recent shift in political awareness though, and I hope this is borne out in the difficult times to come.

this didnt happen but the police did release a picture of some random BLM protestor saying they were looking for him as a suspect
