Authorities were in a standoff early Saturday with at least one gunman in an armored van who fled the scene of a bizarre attack on Dallas police headquarters with gunfire and planted explosives.
Police chased the vehicle to a restaurant parking lot in the community of Hutchins, where it was surrounded and "disabled" with a .50 caliber rifle, according to Dallas police.
The blue van was parked near a field at the edge of the parking lot, with police cars clustered at a distance behind it.

Gungho cops playing with their toys before mom and dad take them away I guess...

This is not going to end well especially affecting people who are not prone to
ReplyDeletethis type of violence. The balance of the country has been corrupted.
Dallas police chief: "We are under attack in America," he said. "We need the tools to get the job done." The police are not going to sit back and take this and I wouldn't
either.
All caused by the race baiting administration and MSM.
DeleteWe are all going to be sick of hearing about this. Before they shut up, the media will wear us out. Too much money to be made, as well as a nice diversion from what is really being done to us.
