It is time to add the Black Lives Matter movement to the list of terrorist organizations and it is time to add President Obama to the terrorist watch and no fly lists. Obama's racist rhetoric over the past seven years created the atmosphere for this shooting.

A patriotic American leader would have condemned this racist group of thugs long ago. A "peaceful" protest that ended in the cold, calculated murder of at least five police officers and the wounding of six additional officers. Peaceful protests do not include organized ambushes of innocent people performing their jobs.

Obama's statement following the massacre was just plain sick. Calls for banning "assault weapons" today. Don't hold your breath for a widespread investigation of the racist Black Live Matters movement.

2 Snipers Ambush, Kill 5 Officers, Injure 6 in Dallas Following Peaceful Protest

Five officers are dead — four Dallas police officers and one DART transit officer — after two snipers ambushed and opened fire on police at the end of a peaceful protest against nationwide officer-involved shootings Thursday night, officials say.

One suspect is dead, a Dallas police detective tells NBC 5 early Friday morning, and three other suspects were in custody in connection with the shooting.

Obama: America is 'Horrified' Over Dallas Attack

President Barack Obama, who was in Warsaw, Poland, for a NATO meeting, condemned the "vicious, callous and despicable attack."

"I believe I speak for every single American when I say that we are horrified over these events and that we stand united with the people and the police department in Dallas," the president said.

At least one civilian was injured. She was identified by family as Shetamia Taylor, and she was shot while shielding her children from the gunfire, her sister told NBC 5. Taylor's condition is not known.

A bomb squad investigated at least one suspicious package in the night as part of the massive police response. Dallas Police Department's Maj. Max Geron said Friday morning that primary and secondary sweeps found no explosives.

The deceased DART officer was identified as 43-year-old Officer Brent
Thompson. He is the first DART officer killed in the line of duty since the transit service formed a police department in 1989. He joined DART in 2009, according to a department statement.

Identities of the deceased Dallas police officers have not been released.

Eleven officers in all were shot by gunmen in what police believe to be a coordinated ambush attack that began at 8:58 p.m., at the close of a rally in solidarity with two men killed in officer-involved shootings, one in Louisiana, one in Minnesota.

"We believe that these suspects were positioning themselves to triangulate on our officers ... and planned to injure and kill as many law enforcement officers as they could," Dallas Police Chief David Brown said at a news conference Thursday evening.

One person was taken into custody at about 11:30 p.m., Dallas police said, following an exchange of gunfire with Dallas SWAT officers. A suspicious package was located near that person, and the package was being investigated by bomb squad personnel.

Two other people were taken into custody in connection with a vehicle, Brown said.
