‚The fact that the police have a weapon like this…is an example of the militarization of the police and law enforcement—and goes in the wrong direction‘

Barack Obama announces stationing of forces to bolster eastern flank of Nato, one of four new battalions, at Warsaw meeting

U.S. intelligence veterans are calling on German Chancellor Merkel to bring a needed dose of realism and restraint to the upcoming NATO conference, which risks escalating the dangerous new Cold War with Russia.

Footage of one of the assailants shooting someone (possibly a police office). Prayers are with Dallas Police Department and families as well as all victims. This is a horrible tragedy.

This footage is graphic – it was originally aired by KDFW-TV – filmed by Ismael Dejesus

Das erste Gefecht: An vergangenen Mittwoch sind erstmals deutsche Militärs beim Einsatz in Nordmali beschossen worden. Wie die Bundeswehr bestätigt, gerieten mehrere Bundeswehrsoldaten am 6. Juli kurz nach zwölf Uhr Ortszeit während einer Patrouillenfahrt nördlich ihres Stationierungsortes Gao unter Beschuss.

(2013) Angeklagt und zu einem Jahr Bewährung war ein Ex-Elitekämpfer der geheimsten und am besten ausgebildetsten Sondereinsatztruppe der Bundeswehr wegen Veruntreuung von Geldern. Nun ist die Unterschlagung von anvertrautem Geld in deutschen Ministerien und Verwaltungseinheiten kein aussergewöhnlicher Vorgang aber dieser Fall offenbart einige Ungereimtheiten zu dem Auftrag und Ort des getaumelten Staatsdieners.

(2012) In Mali finden in ein paar Wochen die regulären Präsidentschaftswahlen statt – zufällig flammt ein Bürgerkrieg in dem an größtenteils unerschlossenen Rohstoffen wie Gold, Kupfer, Phosphate, Kaolin, Uran, Bauxit, Eisenerz, Diamanten, Granat und Erdöl reichen Land auf.

Police said late Thursday night that an officer spotted someone carrying a camouflage bag and quickly walking down the street. The person then threw the bag into the back of a black Mercedes and sped off at a high rate of speed.

An unknown assailant fired shots at officers during a protest of police brutality Thursday evening in downtown Dallas, WFAA-TV reported.

Today a peaceful protest turned violent when a gunman fired several shots at officers 11 police officers were shot 5 are deceased Mark Hughes was accused of being one of the suspects but he was not here is video proof everyone please pray for Dallas and the cops that lost their lives today and pray for their families please like and share this video so people can know about this #PrayforDallas #Stoptheviolence

Carlos Harris, who lives downtown said the shooters „were strategic. It was tap tap pause. Tap tap pause.“

Harris, who said he was in the military, said he heard someone fire back with an AR-15.

Before the shots were fired, the demonstration was peacefully walking down Main Street.

The assailant got out of a Chevy Tahoe SUV wearing what Dejesus described as tactical clothing.
„Man had a rifle, AR-15, clear as day. Pretty big magazine. You can see towards the end of the video here that he goes ahead and drops a few mags.“
„He had multiple pockets, he had three to four pockets in front of his pants. He definitely looked like he was wearing something in his shirt.“
„He got out of there, walked over to the pillar, put a magazine in and started firing.“
Attacker seemed prepared:
„It did look planned. He knew where to stand. He had ammo ready.“
„They weren‘t short mags. They were high-capacity magazines.“

Mark Hughes was named as a suspect in the Dallas police shootings. He was a protester that night with Black Lives Matter and he was legally openly carrying an AR-15 when the shooting began. He ran for cover and then turned in his weapon to police to avoid being considered a threat. The weapon is turned over right at the beginning of the video.

We will provide more information once it is available. Please keep us in your thoughts and prayers tonight.

The shooting occurred just before 9 p.m. local time, during a march in downtown Dallas protesting the shootings earlier this week of two African-American men by white police officers in Baton Rouge, La., and suburban St. Paul, Minn. There were similar protests taking place all over the country. Participants describe a peaceful protest for nearly an hour, until gunfire broke out.
