Is the person shooting police in Dallas now (Larry O'Donnel MSNBC now)trying to start a race war?

This discussion thread was locked as off-topic by NH Ethylene (a host of the 2016 Postmortem forum).

It is said that a long gun is being used. I doubt it is anyone black with a long gun.

I can assure you the African American community buy "assault rifles". I see them at the range every weekend.

There's been a race war going on, leveled against blacks by police and white
supremacists, for some time now. Why do you think white supremacists have been
joining police forces for at lease 10 years?
