(206,858 posts)MSNBC has been talking to their producer in Fort Worth interrupted by live video that is pretty horrific!
ChisolmTrailDem
(9,463 posts)...yes, this is horrific. And it's going to make the whole racial tension in this country worse and fingers begin being pointed and blame is volleyed around.

(39,340 posts)on cnn but msnbc says one suspect is negotiating.

(19,569 posts)I've seen reports one dead, one missing. One dead, one in negotiations. Two dead.
It's very muddled!

(19,569 posts)Two were in surgery, and three were critical, also.
I just can't bear this.
Rhiannon12866
(206,858 posts)This is as horrific as it gets!
herding cats
(19,569 posts)This is so very tragic, and yet terrifying in more ways than one.
I want these people caught and brought to justice for horrors they've wrecked on everyone impacted tonight!
Rhiannon12866
(206,858 posts)This is as bad as it gets, I agree. 11 officers shot, 3 dead, they are showing a photo of a suspect, said one is "cornered." There were 2 shooters in a parking garage from different angles at police.

(17,196 posts)videos of the 2 black men killed. Am in tears again.
herding cats
(19,569 posts)I can't keep processing all this horrible, uncalled for, death on a daily basis. I'm so worried for the people I love, and now all this unnecessary brutal murder tonight on top of it all, which makes me even more terrified for my loved ones well being for just going about their daily lives.
I can't articulate my grief for everyone yet. I'm just so raw tonight. The best I can do to explain is say I'm scared, hurting and angry. For multiple reasons on various levels. I can say I am grieving with all those who've lost their loved ones. I've been there, and I know the pain they're enduring.

ChisolmTrailDem
(9,463 posts)...everyone blaming everyone else and racists will blame BLM and take up arms, etc.
It's horrific!

(13,081 posts)No suspects, no descriptions, nothing. This will be like the OKC bombing, with the FBI pulling ATM and 7-11 cameras. Or the Tsarnaev brothers.
(Or such is my guess)
flamingdem
(39,340 posts)these guys might be smart and get away cleanly
Nevernose
(13,081 posts)There's far more camera coverage than I think most of us are comfortable knowing about. At the very least, traffic cams should have their car. They probably didn't take the bus carrying AR-15s (or whatever).
With ten cops shot, there's no way these guys get away.
