DALLAS -- Dallas Police Chief David Brown has confirmed at least 10 police officers were shot and at least three were killed in an attack by two snipers in downtown Dallas at a protest of officer-involved shootings across the country."Tonight it appears that two snipers shot ten police officers from elevated positions during the protest/rally," Brown wrote in a statement. "Three officers are deceased, two are in surgery and three are in critical condition. An intensive search for suspects is currently underway. No suspects are in custody at this time. We ask that any citizen with information regarding the shootings tonight call 214-671-3482."The shot officers include both Dallas police and DART officers.It remains an active-shooter situation. Police have asked everyone to get to safety and avoid downtown Dallas.There will be a news conference in the next half-hour to update the situation.The shots were fired as the march was moving down Lamar Street near Griffin before 9 p.m.An officer at the scene told News 8's Marie Saavedra the shooter has a rifle. She described several volleys of quick bursts of gunfire.A bystander who was at the scene told News 8 the shooter stood by as the rally passed him, then opened fire on officers.Another bystander, Richard Adams, said the protest was "a lovely, peaceful march," until they were walking down Commerce Street near the Bank of America building parking garage when he heard what sounded like "a bunch of firecrackers going off.""Everybody just stopped -- 'Run, run for your lives!' Women with children and babies and everybody was chaotically running. And then, maybe I was a half-a-block away, calming down a little bit when we heard it again. [...] There must have been five times tonight -- whenever we thought we were safe, people said 'Run, people were shot!'"The shooting took place near El Centro College. it has announced classes are cancelled on Friday.

Just remember guys, it wasn't BLM, it was radical melanin extremists.
Has it actually been confirmed it's the BLM responsible?
Especially considering they were firing on the protesters as well.

Some cops had to shove people out of the way because of incoming fire.
by two snipers
Obviously, peacefully protesting over the past... how many years? With no effect whatsoever? Must have gotten to some people.
With no effect whatsoever?

Correlation =/= causation.
Innocent black people are still shot in the street for no reason when it should happen literally never.
People are unhappy about police killings of blacks; whether or not protesting is the direct cause of the drop, the drop nevertheless happened.
