OFFICERS KILLED IN DALLAS RETALIATION WILL HEIGHTEN TENSIONS

BY JAMES SIMONS

The officers killed in Dallas to retaliate the black killings of the last two days will heighten tensions between the police and the black community.

Five police officers were shot dead and 6 others injured during a protest in  Dallas. The injured officers are in a stable condition in hospital.The killings were a twisted retaliation for the police killings of Black men yesterday and the day before.

TARGET

Police believe the men positioned themselves deliberately to target and kill as many.officers as possible. Three suspects are in custody, and one was shot dead by police, Dallas Mayor, Mike Rawlings confirmed to the media.

STAND OFF

One of the suspects killed, was involved in a stand off with police for over two hours and threatened the loss of more police lives as he claimed to have bombs all around the garage. His  claims  to have were false.

The murders interrupted what before then a peaceful protest of about 800 people down town Dallas. In a three days of tragedy involving the police and black men, the killings  show the low level of value for life in America. 5 officers killed.and 6 injured has heightened the spite between the police and black.men in.America.

TENSE

Feelings are obviously very tense, and there will be many angry black men who feel the police deserve what they got I’m being killed.

However, this is not the inaction of justice aggrieved families want. Many police officers greatly disapprove of the reckless killing of black lives, and fairness cannot be achieved by killing innocent parties. It has the tendency of further straining relations between the police and the community.

SHAMEFUL

A shameful  inescapable fact is the impunity that has followed many of the unlawful police killings of black men in America. There is a huge deficit here that requires urgent remedy. The failure to address it is inexcusable.

American police are known to be trigger happy. White males also get killed in their numbers by American police, often not receiving the same.media attention as when black men get killed.

The apparent reason being because black men are statistically 21 more times likely to get killed than white men. Statistics show that 185 more white men will have to be killed  weekly to make the statistics level, despite black men being a lot fewer than white men in America.

PRECIOUS

All human life is precious and each killing of a human.being should be completely justified. An obsession with guns and killings has long been a big problem in America, and needs to be dealt with at the roots. Several families will be grieving this week.
