Twitter on Friday was alive with commentary and video clips on the overnight Dallas shooting of 11 police officers, five of whom died, including one posted on a pro-Donald Trump site that seemed to show protesters in the streets, milling before a line of law enforcement agents – smiling, joking and laughing.
The video was a news clip from Fox News, and it was posted on the Vote Trump 2016 Twitter page, which has a handle of @USAforTrump2016, beneath the text: “This is disgusting … #BLM thugs flashing gang signs, laughing and dancing … while officers mourn.”
The clip shows a group of men and women congregating and wandering near a line of police officers, one of whom is wearing a black shirt marked “Dallas Police,” and smiling, laughing and joking. The scene caught the attention of the Fox News anchor who asked, from her remote location: “Have you had a chance to talk to folks? Are they waiting for a ride, are they gathering? … You also see people really excited in the back of this shot.”
Other voices on Twitter reacted to President Obama’s response to the Dallas shootings.
One wrote: “#POTUS did not disappoint! He is already blaming #Dallas #sniper incident on powerful weapons. This is a #pattern, folks.”
And another: “Obama blames racism when state kills people. Obama blames guns when people kill the state. (Spoiler: He’s tring to disarm you!)”
Another agreed with the gun control message, and tweeted: “You allow people to buy guns like they’d buy toys and wonder why gun violence is a problem. #Dallas.”
Still another commented on what the local police chief described as “ambush-style” shootings from a well-trained sniper, and said: “The #Dallas shooters were moving ina far too professional manner. They were covering each other with suppressive fire.”
