Suspect in Dallas police attack wanted to 'kill white people': chief-[Reuters]-By Lisa Maria Garza-July 8, 2016-YAHOONEWS
DALLAS (Reuters) - At least one sniper in Dallas killed five police officers and wounded seven more in a coordinated attack that ended when police used a bomb to kill a shooter who told them he wanted to kill white officers, authorities said Friday.The attack came during one of several protests across the United States against the killing of two black men by police this week, the latest in a long string of killings that gave rise to the Black Lives Matter movement.Police described Thursday night's ambush as carefully planned and executed and said they had taken three people into custody before killing the fourth after a long standoff in a downtown garage."We had an exchange of gunfire with the suspect. We saw no other option but to use our bomb robot," Dallas Police Chief David Brown told reporters at City Hall."The suspect said he was upset about Black Lives Matter," said Brown, who is black. "He said he was upset about the recent police shootings. The suspect said he was upset at white people. The suspect stated that he wanted to kill white people, especially white officers."In talking with police negotiators, the suspect said he was not affiliated with any group, according to Brown.The attack came in a week that two black men were fatally shot by police officers in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, and outside Minneapolis. The killings, both now the subject of official investigations, inflamed tensions about race and justice in the United States.Quinyetta McMillon, who had a child with Alton Sterling, the black man slain by police in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, earlier this week, condemned the Dallas attack in a statement."We wholeheartedly reject the reprehensible acts of violence that were perpetrated against members of the Dallas Police Department," McMillon said. "Regardless of how angry or upset people may be, resorting to this kind of sickening violence should never happen and simply cannot be tolerated."A Twitter account describing itself as representing the Black Lives Matter movement sent the message: "Black Lives Matter advocates dignity, justice and freedom. Not murder."Some of the largest police forces in the United States were on high alert on Friday, following the attacks in Dallas, with departments in New York and Boston ordering officers to patrol in pairs.-PANIC IN THE STREETS-The shots rang out as a protest in Dallas was winding down, sending marchers screaming and running in panic through the city's streets.It was the deadliest day for police in the United States since the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks on New York and Washington.A total of 12 police officers and two civilians were shot during the attack, Dallas Mayor Mike Rawlings said. Three of the officers who were shot were women, he said.Rawlings told CBS News the people in custody, including one woman, were "not being cooperative" with police investigators. He said the assailant who was dead was being fingerprinted and his identity checked with federal authorities.Brown declined to say how many people were involved in the attack, saying, "We're going to keep these suspects guessing."There was no sign of international links to the attacks, U.S. officials said on Friday.One of the dead officers was identified as Brent Thompson, 43. He was the first officer killed in the line of duty since Dallas Area Rapid Transit formed a police department in 1989, DART said on its website. Thompson joined DART in 2009.Earlier, Brown said the shooters, some in elevated positions, used rifles to fire at the officers in what appeared to be a coordinated attack."(They were) working together with rifles, triangulating at elevated positions in different points in the downtown area where the march ended up going," Brown told a news conference.A video taken by a witness shows a man with a rifle crouching at ground level and shooting a person who appeared to be wearing a uniform at close range. That person then collapsed to the ground.Reuters could not immediately confirm the authenticity of the video.-'DESPICABLE ATTACK'-President Barack Obama, who was traveling in Poland, expressed his "deepest condolences" to Rawlings on behalf of the American people."I believe I speak for every single American when I say that we are horrified over these events and we are united with the people and police department in Dallas," he said.Obama said the FBI was in contact with Dallas police and that the federal government would provide assistance."We still don't know all of the facts. What we do know is that there has been a vicious, calculated and despicable attack on law enforcement," he said.The shooting, which erupted shortly before 9 p.m. CDT (0100 GMT), occurred near a busy area of downtown Dallas filled with restaurants, hotels and government buildings.Mayor Rawlings advised people to stay away on Friday morning as police combed the area. Transportation was halted and federal authorities stopped commercial air traffic over the area as police helicopters hovered.The Dallas-Fort Worth metropolitan area is one of the nation's most populous and is home to more than 7 million people.The Dallas shooting happened as otherwise largely peaceful protests unfolded around the United States after the police shooting of Philando Castile, a 32-year-old black man, on Wednesday during a traffic stop near St. Paul, Minnesota.The day earlier, police in Baton Rouge shot dead Sterling, 37, while responding to a call alleging he had threatened someone with a gun.Over the last two years, there have been periodic and sometimes violent protests over the use of police force against African-Americans in cities from Ferguson, Missouri, to Baltimore and New York. Anger has intensified when the officers were acquitted in trials or not charged at all.Dallas is a pioneer in training its police officers in de-escalation techniques, Rawlings told reporters, saying the department had the lowest number of police-involved shootings of any large American city.-'THE END IS COMING'-The suspect in the Dallas standoff had told police "the end is coming" and that more police were going to be hurt and killed.Police said they were questioning two occupants of a Mercedes they had pulled over after the vehicle sped off on a downtown street with a man who threw a camouflaged bag inside the back of the car. A woman was also taken into custody near the garage where the standoff was taking place.Mayor Rawlings visited the wounded at Parkland hospital, the same hospital where President John F. Kennedy was taken after he was shot in Dallas in November 1963.Outside the hospital, officers stood in formation and saluted as bodies of the officers were about to be transported.Presidential candidates Republican Donald Trump and Democrat Hillary Clinton canceled planned events following the attack."Our nation has become too divided. Too many Americans feel like they've lost hope," Trump said in a statement. "This is a time, perhaps more than ever, for strong leadership, love and compassion. We will pull through these tragedies."Clinton said on Twitter: "I mourn for the officers shot while doing their sacred duty to protect peaceful protesters, for their families & all who serve with them."(Reporting by Brendan O'Brien in Milwaukee, Eric M.

Protesters mass after another police shooting of black man in U.S.-[Reuters]-By David Bailey-July 7, 2016-YAHOONEWS
ST PAUL, Minn. (Reuters) - Protesters in Chicago, New York and St. Paul, Minnesota, took to the streets on Thursday to express outrage after the second fatal police shooting of a black man in the United States in two days.The protests were peaceful but tension was evident after the shooting of Philando Castile, 32, by police near St. Paul late on Wednesday. His girlfriend posted live video on the internet of the bloody scene minutes afterward, which was widely viewed.Castile’s death occurred within a day of the shooting of 37-year-old Alton Sterling in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. Sterling was killed during an altercation with two white police officers. Graphic video of that incident caused an outcry on social media.In Chicago, protesters shut down a stretch of the Dan Ryan Expressway - one of Chicago's main arteries - for about 10 minutes on Thursday.In New York, several hundred protesters blocked traffic in Times Square in the heart of Manhattan, chanting "Hands up, don't shoot." Police eventually cleared the intersection of 7th Avenue and 42nd Street to let traffic proceed.In St. Paul, about a thousand people gathered outside the governor's mansion, chanting "Hey hey, ho ho, those killer cops have got to go," and other slogans.Minnesota Governor Mark Dayton made a brief appearance in an attempt to quell the crowd. Earlier in the day, he said a state investigation was already under way."Would this have happened if the driver and the passengers were white? I don’t think it would have," Dayton told reporters. "So I’m forced to confront that this kind of racism exists, and it's incumbent upon all of us to vow and ensure that it doesn't happen and doesn't continue to happen."Dayton called for the U.S. Department of Justice to open its own investigation, but the department said on Thursday it would assist the state investigation as necessary. The Justice Department has opened an investigation into the Baton Rouge shooting.-OBAMA ON "RACIAL DISPARITIES"-Castile’s girlfriend, Diamond Reynolds, videotaped the minutes immediately following his shooting and posted it on Facebook Live. Castile, who was driving, was shot with Reynolds and her 4-year-old daughter in the car. The video showed blood oozing through Castile's shirt as he appeared to lose consciousness.President Barack Obama said the killings were tragedies."All of us as Americans should be troubled by these shootings, because these are not isolated incidents. They're symptomatic of a broader set of racial disparities that exist in our criminal justice system," he said in remarks after arriving in Poland for a NATO summit.The use of force by police against African-Americans in cities from Ferguson, Missouri, to Baltimore and New York has sparked periodic and sometimes violent protests in the past two years and has spawned a movement called Black Lives Matter. Anger has intensified when the officers involved in such incidents have been acquitted in trial or not charged at all."I was already fuming when I woke up this morning over Baton Rouge, but for it happen here again just pushed me right over the edge," said truck driver Thomas Michaels, 42, who was among the protesters in St. Paul. "We live in a racist society where black lives don't matter, my kids lives don't matter and I'm sick of it. I don't even know if it can be fixed."Another protester, retail worker Tanya McDonald, 28, said: "What gets me is how many people are failing to see that this is happening almost every day. We're dying, we're being killed off by people hiding behind a badge and no one's doing anything to stop it."Reynolds' video showed a police officer outside the car pointing a gun. Reynolds described what was going on, sometimes speaking calmly to the police officer, sometimes with her voice rising as she feared Castile was dying.Reynolds said Castile was shot after police pulled their car over, citing a broken tail light. "Nothing within his body language said 'Kill me, I want to be dead,'" she said on Thursday.-OFFICER PUT ON LEAVE-A statement on the website of the City of Falcon Heights, where the shooting occurred, said a Saint Anthony Village police officer discharged his gun during a traffic stop at about 9 p.m. local time on Wednesday evening, and the unidentified driver later died at Hennepin County Medical Center.The Hennepin County Medical Examiner said that Castile died from multiple gun shot wounds at 9:37 p.m. at Hennepin County Medical Center and his death was a homicide.It said the officer involved had been placed on paid administrative leave, as is standard procedure for Falcon Heights, which is about 6 miles (10 km) northeast of downtown Minneapolis. The ethnicity of the police officer was not clear. Attempts to reach the police department for further comment were unsuccessful.Minnesota officials declined in a Thursday afternoon news conference to identify the officer who shot Castile, saying it would do so after they completed interviewing him.The city's website said the Saint Anthony Village police department was working with the Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension and other law enforcement agencies on an investigation.The labour union that represents the officer who shot Castile urged people to reserve judgment."We know that people are angry, discouraged and heartbroken," said Sean Gormley, executive director of Law Enforcement Labor Services, in a statement. "We support an open, thorough and objective investigation that we believe, in time, will provide the answers to the questions we all have."Castile's mother, Valerie Castile, described her son as a "laid back" but industrious man who worked as a school cafeteria supervisor and enjoyed playing video games. He had a permit to carry a concealed weapon, she told CNN.Reynolds said police had not even tried to check if her boyfriend was alive after they shot him, and it had taken at least 15 minutes for paramedics to arrive."Not one shot, not two shots, not three shots, but five shots," she said at the news conference. "They did not check for a pulse at the scene of the crime."The Washington Post said Castile was at least the 506th person and 123rd black American shot and killed by police so far in 2016, according to a database it has set up to track such deaths.(Additional reporting by Laila Kearney, Bill Trott, Colleen Jenkins, Julia Edwards, Karen Pierog, Michael Hirtzer, Tom Polansek, Justin Madden, Nick Carey and Eric M.

Black officer says Louisiana shooting made her want to quit-[The Canadian Press]-The Associated Press-July 7, 2016-YAHOONEWS
WARRENSVILLE HEIGHTS, Ohio - A black police officer in suburban Cleveland said in a video posted on Facebook she was so upset after watching the fatal police shooting of a black man in Louisiana that she wanted to quit.Nakia Jones, who said she is the only black female officer in Warrensville Heights, said she became an officer to make a difference in people's lives."If you are white and you're working in a black community and you are racist, you need to be ashamed of yourself," Jones said in the video. "You stood up there and took an oath. If this is not where you want to work, then you need to take your behind somewhere else."Her impassioned reaction had been watched more than 3 million times since it was posted to her Facebook page Wednesday.In Baton Rouge, Louisiana, Alton Sterling was shot early Tuesday as he wrestled with two white police officers outside a convenience store. Police there say he was armed.Cellphone video of his shooting death posted online by a community activist set off angry protests. It was unclear whether Sterling had the gun in his hand or was reaching for it when he was shot.Louisiana's governor, Democrat John Bel Edwards, asked the U.S. Department of Justice to lead a civil rights investigation into the killing.Jones said the video of the shooting opened her eyes."I got to see what you all see," she said. "If I wasn't a police officer and I wasn't on the inside, I'd be saying, 'Look at this racist.'"In a press conference Thursday, she said her opinion is the shooting of Sterling "could have been handled differently" and people should be held accountable for their actions."Sometimes our peers have to hold us accountable," she said.And she reiterated her position that there's no place for racist police officers, black or white, in U.S. communities."If you are prejudiced," she said, "take the uniform off, put the hood on."___Online:https://www.facebook.com/nakiajonesproductions/videos/10208712158314077/?pnref=story.

Suspect in Dallas police attack wanted to 'kill white people': chief-[Reuters]-By Lisa Maria Garza-July 8, 2016-YAHOONEWS
DALLAS (Reuters) - At least one sniper in Dallas killed five police officers and wounded seven more in a coordinated attack that ended when police used a bomb to kill a shooter who told them he wanted to kill white officers, authorities said Friday.The attack came during one of several protests across the United States against the killing of two black men by police this week, the latest in a long string of killings that gave rise to the Black Lives Matter movement.Police described Thursday night's ambush as carefully planned and executed and said they had taken three people into custody before killing the fourth after a long standoff in a downtown garage."We had an exchange of gunfire with the suspect.

Thompson joined DART in 2009.Earlier, Brown said the shooters, some in elevated positions, used rifles to fire at the officers in what appeared to be a coordinated attack."(They were) working together with rifles, triangulating at elevated positions in different points in the downtown area where the march ended up going," Brown told a news conference.A video taken by a witness shows a man with a rifle crouching at ground level and shooting a person who appeared to be wearing a uniform at close range. That person then collapsed to the ground.Reuters could not immediately confirm the authenticity of the video.-'DESPICABLE ATTACK'-President Barack Obama, who was traveling in Poland, expressed his "deepest condolences" to Rawlings on behalf of the American people."I believe I speak for every single American when I say that we are horrified over these events and we are united with the people and police department in Dallas," he said.Obama said the FBI was in contact with Dallas police and that the federal government would provide assistance."We still don't know all of the facts. What we do know is that there has been a vicious, calculated and despicable attack on law enforcement," he said.The shooting, which erupted shortly before 9 p.m. CDT (0100 GMT), occurred near a busy area of downtown Dallas filled with restaurants, hotels and government buildings.Mayor Rawlings advised people to stay away on Friday morning as police combed the area. Transportation was halted and federal authorities stopped commercial air traffic over the area as police helicopters hovered.The Dallas-Fort Worth metropolitan area is one of the nation's most populous and is home to more than 7 million people.The Dallas shooting happened as otherwise largely peaceful protests unfolded around the United States after the police shooting of Philando Castile, a 32-year-old black man, on Wednesday during a traffic stop near St. Paul, Minnesota.The day earlier, police in Baton Rouge shot dead Sterling, 37, while responding to a call alleging he had threatened someone with a gun.Over the last two years, there have been periodic and sometimes violent protests over the use of police force against African-Americans in cities from Ferguson, Missouri, to Baltimore and New York. Anger has intensified when the officers were acquitted in trials or not charged at all.Dallas is a pioneer in training its police officers in de-escalation techniques, Rawlings told reporters, saying the department had the lowest number of police-involved shootings of any large American city.-'THE END IS COMING'-The suspect in the Dallas standoff had told police "the end is coming" and that more police were going to be hurt and killed.Police said they were questioning two occupants of a Mercedes they had pulled over after the vehicle sped off on a downtown street with a man who threw a camouflaged bag inside the back of the car. A woman was also taken into custody near the garage where the standoff was taking place.Mayor Rawlings visited the wounded at Parkland hospital, the same hospital where President John F. Kennedy was taken after he was shot in Dallas in November 1963.Outside the hospital, officers stood in formation and saluted as bodies of the officers were about to be transported.Presidential candidates Republican Donald Trump and Democrat Hillary Clinton canceled planned events following the attack."Our nation has become too divided. Too many Americans feel like they've lost hope," Trump said in a statement. "This is a time, perhaps more than ever, for strong leadership, love and compassion. We will pull through these tragedies."Clinton said on Twitter: "I mourn for the officers shot while doing their sacred duty to protect peaceful protesters, for their families & all who serve with them."(Reporting by Brendan O'Brien in Milwaukee, Eric M.

Protesters mass after another police shooting of black man in U.S.-[Reuters]-By David Bailey-July 7, 2016-YAHOONEWS
ST PAUL, Minn. (Reuters) - Protesters in Chicago, New York and St. Paul, Minnesota, took to the streets on Thursday to express outrage after the second fatal police shooting of a black man in the United States in two days.The protests were peaceful but tension was evident after the shooting of Philando Castile, 32, by police near St. Paul late on Wednesday. His girlfriend posted live video on the internet of the bloody scene minutes afterward, which was widely viewed.Castile’s death occurred within a day of the shooting of 37-year-old Alton Sterling in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. Sterling was killed during an altercation with two white police officers. Graphic video of that incident caused an outcry on social media.In Chicago, protesters shut down a stretch of the Dan Ryan Expressway - one of Chicago's main arteries - for about 10 minutes on Thursday.In New York, several hundred protesters blocked traffic in Times Square in the heart of Manhattan, chanting "Hands up, don't shoot." Police eventually cleared the intersection of 7th Avenue and 42nd Street to let traffic proceed.In St. Paul, about a thousand people gathered outside the governor's mansion, chanting "Hey hey, ho ho, those killer cops have got to go," and other slogans.Minnesota Governor Mark Dayton made a brief appearance in an attempt to quell the crowd. Earlier in the day, he said a state investigation was already under way."Would this have happened if the driver and the passengers were white? I don’t think it would have," Dayton told reporters. "So I’m forced to confront that this kind of racism exists, and it's incumbent upon all of us to vow and ensure that it doesn't happen and doesn't continue to happen."Dayton called for the U.S. Department of Justice to open its own investigation, but the department said on Thursday it would assist the state investigation as necessary. The Justice Department has opened an investigation into the Baton Rouge shooting.-OBAMA ON "RACIAL DISPARITIES"-Castile’s girlfriend, Diamond Reynolds, videotaped the minutes immediately following his shooting and posted it on Facebook Live. Castile, who was driving, was shot with Reynolds and her 4-year-old daughter in the car. The video showed blood oozing through Castile's shirt as he appeared to lose consciousness.President Barack Obama said the killings were tragedies."All of us as Americans should be troubled by these shootings, because these are not isolated incidents. They're symptomatic of a broader set of racial disparities that exist in our criminal justice system," he said in remarks after arriving in Poland for a NATO summit.The use of force by police against African-Americans in cities from Ferguson, Missouri, to Baltimore and New York has sparked periodic and sometimes violent protests in the past two years and has spawned a movement called Black Lives Matter. Anger has intensified when the officers involved in such incidents have been acquitted in trial or not charged at all."I was already fuming when I woke up this morning over Baton Rouge, but for it happen here again just pushed me right over the edge," said truck driver Thomas Michaels, 42, who was among the protesters in St. Paul. "We live in a racist society where black lives don't matter, my kids lives don't matter and I'm sick of it. I don't even know if it can be fixed."Another protester, retail worker Tanya McDonald, 28, said: "What gets me is how many people are failing to see that this is happening almost every day. We're dying, we're being killed off by people hiding behind a badge and no one's doing anything to stop it."Reynolds' video showed a police officer outside the car pointing a gun. Reynolds described what was going on, sometimes speaking calmly to the police officer, sometimes with her voice rising as she feared Castile was dying.Reynolds said Castile was shot after police pulled their car over, citing a broken tail light. "Nothing within his body language said 'Kill me, I want to be dead,'" she said on Thursday.-OFFICER PUT ON LEAVE-A statement on the website of the City of Falcon Heights, where the shooting occurred, said a Saint Anthony Village police officer discharged his gun during a traffic stop at about 9 p.m. local time on Wednesday evening, and the unidentified driver later died at Hennepin County Medical Center.The Hennepin County Medical Examiner said that Castile died from multiple gun shot wounds at 9:37 p.m. at Hennepin County Medical Center and his death was a homicide.It said the officer involved had been placed on paid administrative leave, as is standard procedure for Falcon Heights, which is about 6 miles (10 km) northeast of downtown Minneapolis. The ethnicity of the police officer was not clear. Attempts to reach the police department for further comment were unsuccessful.Minnesota officials declined in a Thursday afternoon news conference to identify the officer who shot Castile, saying it would do so after they completed interviewing him.The city's website said the Saint Anthony Village police department was working with the Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension and other law enforcement agencies on an investigation.The labour union that represents the officer who shot Castile urged people to reserve judgment."We know that people are angry, discouraged and heartbroken," said Sean Gormley, executive director of Law Enforcement Labor Services, in a statement. "We support an open, thorough and objective investigation that we believe, in time, will provide the answers to the questions we all have."Castile's mother, Valerie Castile, described her son as a "laid back" but industrious man who worked as a school cafeteria supervisor and enjoyed playing video games. He had a permit to carry a concealed weapon, she told CNN.Reynolds said police had not even tried to check if her boyfriend was alive after they shot him, and it had taken at least 15 minutes for paramedics to arrive."Not one shot, not two shots, not three shots, but five shots," she said at the news conference. "They did not check for a pulse at the scene of the crime."The Washington Post said Castile was at least the 506th person and 123rd black American shot and killed by police so far in 2016, according to a database it has set up to track such deaths.(Additional reporting by Laila Kearney, Bill Trott, Colleen Jenkins, Julia Edwards, Karen Pierog, Michael Hirtzer, Tom Polansek, Justin Madden, Nick Carey and Eric M.

Black officer says Louisiana shooting made her want to quit-[The Canadian Press]-The Associated Press-July 7, 2016-YAHOONEWS
WARRENSVILLE HEIGHTS, Ohio - A black police officer in suburban Cleveland said in a video posted on Facebook she was so upset after watching the fatal police shooting of a black man in Louisiana that she wanted to quit.Nakia Jones, who said she is the only black female officer in Warrensville Heights, said she became an officer to make a difference in people's lives."If you are white and you're working in a black community and you are racist, you need to be ashamed of yourself," Jones said in the video. "You stood up there and took an oath. If this is not where you want to work, then you need to take your behind somewhere else."Her impassioned reaction had been watched more than 3 million times since it was posted to her Facebook page Wednesday.In Baton Rouge, Louisiana, Alton Sterling was shot early Tuesday as he wrestled with two white police officers outside a convenience store. Police there say he was armed.Cellphone video of his shooting death posted online by a community activist set off angry protests. It was unclear whether Sterling had the gun in his hand or was reaching for it when he was shot.Louisiana's governor, Democrat John Bel Edwards, asked the U.S. Department of Justice to lead a civil rights investigation into the killing.Jones said the video of the shooting opened her eyes."I got to see what you all see," she said. "If I wasn't a police officer and I wasn't on the inside, I'd be saying, 'Look at this racist.'"In a press conference Thursday, she said her opinion is the shooting of Sterling "could have been handled differently" and people should be held accountable for their actions."Sometimes our peers have to hold us accountable," she said.And she reiterated her position that there's no place for racist police officers, black or white, in U.S. communities."If you are prejudiced," she said, "take the uniform off, put the hood on."___Online:https://www.facebook.com/nakiajonesproductions/videos/10208712158314077/?pnref=story.
