Standoff in Dallas After 11 Officers Shot, 5 Killed After Protest

“Dallas police were locked in a standoff early Friday after snipers shot 11 officers, five fatally, during a protest over recent shootings in Minnesota and Louisiana.”

The United States has always been governed (more or less) by the rule of law.  Not even the Mafia attacked cops, no one attacked policemen’s families and the cops had rather strict rules of engagement.The cops and robbers who didn’t follow the rules were generally rogues and people generally got along.  And now this escalation.  It will be understandable if the cops become more aggressive and take fewer chances.  It will be understandable if the badguys shoot first rather than surrender.  This is a tragedy, a crying shame and can have no good outcome.
