More officers have died since your post. I hope the others still fighting for their lives make it.

and why don't you wish the black guys in their cars to still be alive, the men who held up their arms and yet were literally assassinated by police? Maybe it takes a race war and shooting some supremacist white policemen in the face to make everyone aware that something has to change. And this is not about politics, its not about left or right. It is police order gone wrong badly...and the same happened before under Republican rule, so can we for once please keep politics out of this...

Sadly the total is now up to 12 officers shot and 5 of those died. Additionally two civilians were shot.

It appears to be a coordinated sniper attack with at least two shooters.

This is a sign of a divided nation. Most police want officers who improperly shoot people to be held accountable. Bad shootings lead to cops being targets.

I blame a portion of this directly on President Obama who are regularly divided our nation in his speeches after Ferguson and other police-related events. His lack of support for police doing their job has led to a war on cops. Of course, in his speech about the Dallas BLM terrorism this morning all Obama can talk about is gun control. He showed little support for the officers and their families beyond calling the attack a 'Vicious, calculated, despicable attack on law enforcement'.
