I thank all police who are peace-loving people that are sacrificing their safety for the freedoms of Americans.  The shootings in Dallas are tragic - for all those who knew those men.

I'm not calling the police part of the power monger network.  Police keep the peace for Americans - as long as they are not militarized.   Remember that most police forces in America are made up of all races now.   The establishment media picks out cases that will pit white versus black.   That is only going to make the stated goals of Black Lives Matter more difficult to achieve - dignity, justice, freedom.    Those stated goals make sense to me.  I dont believe that the shooter in Dallas was really part of Black Lives Matter.   He was either on his own or that attack was staged.   Because of all the coincidences with establishment media, I believe it may have been staged.

A police force was never meant to be militarized in America.  That is called a police state.   That is tyranny.   But police are necessary to keep the peace.  

We cannot have a militarized police, but we cannot denigrate police for the actions of the very few.   And we must take into account whether a person shot by police - had a weapon on their person.   That should be worked out in the courts.   

I do understand that African Americans have been harassed by police in the past - and they feel it is still occurring.   Ive not been in that position, but Ive been harassed about as much as a person could be harassed - progressively for the last 5+ years.  So I understand being singled out and harassed - very well.

I do believe that more training of police on how to engage individuals - could do nothing but help.   Especially in areas where there have been problems.   But lets not let the gun control Nazis trivialize these tragedies - by making this a gun control issue - where they want to take away Americans' individual right to protect their own home.  That is what power mongers do - stage/or take advantage of a tragedy - to strip the people of their civil liberties and freedoms.
