We're having the usual deluge of people who have no real idea if a certain shooting was actually racially-motivated.... but who love to convince themselves that it was anyway. It's much easier to simply scream "Racist! Racist!" at everything you see, than to actually find out.
And for some people, it's a lot more enjoyable to call for the slaughter of all cops, than to find out if all the cops deserve it. It makes your hatred feel soooo good.
History is replete with riots, massacres, and even wars that have started as a result of mobs persuading themselves (sometimes with the help of high govt officials egging them on) that their target group deserves to be attacked and destroyed. Never mind that most of the target group deserves nothing of the kind.
Will yesterday's shooting of 12 police officers in Dallas, become America's Krystallnacht?

Twitter Takes No Action As Calls For Cop-Killing Sweep Platform

There has been a deluge of anti-cop threats on Twitter, many of which calling for the mass murder of police officers.
Hatred towards police is nothing we haven’t seen on the timelines of Twitter before, but the past three days have brought an onslaught of highly violent calls to action. A search query for phrases such as “kill pigs” “kill police” and such pulls back thousands of posts. Many of these are blatant threats to all police, regardless of their relevance to past incidents.
The threats and incitement to violence seen below were all posted before the massacre of police officers in Dallas, Texas. At the time of publication, all the tweets captured below remain on Twitter, and can be found via the site’s search function. In addition to screenshots, all tweets have also been archived.
The most disturbing tweet so far features an image of a policeman having their throat cut by a masked assassin. The man who tweeted it, who goes by the username “BlackNefertiti” has yet to be punished by Twitter, and his original tweet remains on the platform.
