Dallas: Five Police Officers Killed At Demonstration


Recommended Posts

Desperate pleas for unity and calm reverberated around the US after five police officers were killed and seven injured when at least one sniper opened fire on a peaceful protest in Dallas, telling police he wanted to kill white officers.

The shooter, 25-year-old Micah Johnson, an army reservist who served in Afghanistan, was killed after lengthy negotiations with officers during which he articulated anger at recent police killings of African American men and told negotiators he wanted to kill white people, especially white officers.

He was military trained after all.

A very happy day for me to see those trigger happy cops get a taste of their own medicine

This is utterly justified the state has nothing to stop the pigs but promotes it

Now the people have fought back and taken blood for blood and now the P£&£)y white man is hiding in the toilets

I don't endorse the above take on the situation. The officers killed were most likely decent, good people doing their jobs. Their killing was symbolic, not a targeted act of revenge. Vengeance would be specifically targeting cops who'd killed blacks and not been punished. The officers that were killed were soft targets.

I've observed a definite sense of a reduction in "enthusiasm" on the part of certain voices on the Right who were criticising blacks for raising certain issues that, imo, they have every right to discuss. That's not to say the BLM movement isn't misguided and divisive - because it is - but it's unfortunate the spokespeople for BLM are questionable to say the least. As a cause it is ideologically sound, but its representatives are not to be trusted. Of course, this is the ground level interpretation of what's happening, and we mustn't forget - without wandering into conspiracy theory territory - that there is almost always a larger "game" being played. The man who funds BLM should be a cause for concern.

The many black that are treated as second class citizens and killed by the police or framed into prison are also innocent

I never said they weren't. What I said was that if the shooter had grievances against corrupt and racist officers, he should've done his homework and found those who'd escaped punishment in the face of overwhelming evidence, and taken them out if he felt compelled to do so. Morally, it would've been a much more ambiguous scenario. Instead, what's happened is innocent police have been killed, and blacks are now under the microscope. This is what happens when you allow your passions to overwhelm you, and don't think with a cool head. Such behaviour is no better than a wild animal's.

    • I agree we're not born with sin like the Christians think. Also I agree we have effects of karma. But Gurbani does state that the body contains both sin and charity (goodness): ਕਾਇਆ ਅੰਦਰਿ ਪਾਪੁ ਪੁੰਨੁ ਦੁਇ ਭਾਈ ॥ Within the body are the two brothers sin and virtue. p126 Actually, we do need to be saved. Gurbani calls this "udhaar" (uplift). Without Satguru, souls are liable to spiritual death: ਜਿਨਾ ਸਤਿਗੁਰੁ ਪੁਰਖੁ ਨ ਭੇਟਿਓ ਸੇ ਭਾਗਹੀਣ ਵਸਿ ਕਾਲ ॥ p40 Those who have not met Satguru Purakh are unfortunate and liable to death. So, yeah, we do need to be saved, and Guru ji does the saving. The reason Satguru is the one to save is because God has given Satguru the "key" (kunji): ਸਤਿਗੁਰ ਹਥਿ ਕੁੰਜੀ ਹੋਰਤੁ ਦਰੁ ਖੁਲੈ ਨਾਹੀ ਗੁਰੁ ਪੂਰੈ ਭਾਗਿ ਮਿਲਾਵਣਿਆ ॥੭॥ In the True Guru's hand is the key. None else can open the door. By perfect good fortune the Guru is met. p124
    • That's unfortunate to hear. Could you give any more information? Who was this "baba"? He just disappeared with people's money? Obviously, you should donate your money to known institutions or poor people that you can verify the need of through friends and family in Punjab.
    • Sangat ji,  I know a family who went Sevewal to do seva sometimes end of 2019. They returned last year in great dismay and heart broken.  To repent for their mistakes they approached panj pyaare. The Panj gave them their punishment / order to how t make it up which, with Kirpa, they fulfilled.  They were listening to a fake Baba who, in the end, took all the "Donations " and fled sometime over a year ago. For nearly 4 years this family (who are great Gursikhs once u get to know them) wasted time and effort for this fake Baba. NOT ONLY this one fam. But many, many did worldwide and they took their fam to do seva, in village Sevewal, city Jaitho in Punjab. In the end many families lost money in thousands being behind this Baba. The family, on return, had to get in touch with all the participants and told them to stop.  I am stating this here to create awareness and we need to learn from whom we follow and believe. It's no easy but if we follow the 3 S (Sangat, Simran and Seva) we will be shown the light. As I am writing this the family in question have been doing the same since 2008 onwards and they fell for this Baba... it is unbelievable and shocking.  This am writing in a nutshell as am at work on my break so not lengthy but it deserves a great length.  Especially the family in question, who shed light on youngsters about Sikhi 20 plus years!! 
    • Giani Kulwant Singh Jawaddi Kalan uses simple Punjabi.
    • Leaving aside Guru ji, the general question of taking afeem (opium) in limited quantities for war/medical wounds is simply unproblematic. When you go to the hospital, they give you morphine. What do you think morphine is? It's an opiate. Even codeine (cough syrup) is an opiate! Ever had a cough? Granted, it is against Gurmat to take opium or other drugs for the fun of it.
