I suspect that was not "live" but a repeat from earlier.

Hmm...since I have gotten to the point in life where I MIGHT need assistance reading, I tend to overlook somethings. I hate ageing.

If that is what they are doing-- they REALLY need to put replay on the screen and keep it there.

If this is not live that is IMO SO not ok!!

Anyone know??

The only real thing happening is a unmedicated schizophrenic has arrived and is screaming at the flowers...........

I think he shall be gently removed in a few short minutes...................

You're watching a repeat of the earlier live broadcast.

That guy finished his business and left some time ago.

 

[perfectingpink]

Well crap. Instead of watching and commenting on things that had already happened, we could have spent time trying to hack into Dog's electronics. Geez...I feel more red than pink now!

Oi Vi

Repoerter on this station is saying two employees saw someone but cant tell anyone his race. How do you see a human being and not know their race??

If wearing a mask the statement should be he had on a mask - two of us have seen a person

On my screen at the time above where it said live it said replay.

 

[CARIIS]

It is a replay -- they just decided to inform us--I think they may have "accidently" forgot to do that for a while for eyeballs - tacky

Is replay....

Thats funny!! Kinda pissed, cause "replay" was not on it a few mnutes ago - as soon as we all started to have doubts I went over and looked and it was not there. Live was not there either - neither was ??

Now both Live and replay are up

I hope they did because this would make me feel better but, because I know my eyes...

I hope this doesn't sound awful, but IF there was a person there I am sad they got away, because I feel no relief at knowing someone wanting to harm our police are out there roaming, lying in wait. Was going to go to the movies tonight, but may just order in!!

[h=2]Micah Xavier Johnson was killed by an explosive device attached to a robot after talks broke down. He was laughing and singing and not at all anxious during the standoff, a source said.[/h]
Told police he had been planning and working on his plot for a while

That is so spine tingling scary. Almost sounds like the joker from Batman.

That doesn't sound awful. There is now a suspicious person on the streets. I cannot figure a legitimate reason for a person dressed in black sneaking into a law enforcement garage and running away when a detective tries to question him.

Troubling times.

I came upon it here at WS at about 3:50 PM PDT:

See the previous thread, starting at about Post #991 (and before) by ohreally at 3:40 PM PDT (My page 50)
Followed by Everyday Grace Post #992 at 3:41 PM PDT
Followed by myself Post #993 at 3:52 PM PDT. Livestream at WFAA

Followed by a number of posts all to the end of the thread and resumed on page one of this thread by various people listening to, and/or watching LIVE broadcasts.

Y'all (Texas, again) will have to translate the PDT times into your own time zones.

WFAA had very good coverage by reporter Rebecca Lopez! Apparently she is their regular Police Beat reporter and seemed to have a bit of a pipeline to some very solid sources.

These are my thoughts and this is how I'm doing. Typos and mistakes and all. #dallasshooting #dallasstrong

"Hey man this is Reuben. I don’t know if you heard but there’s a city-wide assist and reports of officers down at the demonstration. I’ve got some guys and we’re headed that way and I just wanted you to know in case you hadn’t heard.”

That was my first indication that something had gone horribly wrong. I glanced at social media and immediately saw throngs of people scattering from the anti-police brutality protests going on in downtown Dallas. I knew it was bad. They reported one officer having been evac’d to the hospital in a squad car – you know it’s bad when cops are evacuating other cops in squad cars and not waiting for ambulances.

I started throwing on my uniform and got a call from my ex-wife asking if I was ok because she was getting calls from relatives asking about what was going on in Dallas with officers being shot. I told her I was fine and on my way into work because downtown was chaos. I told her to love on our kids for me.

I jumped on the road, turned on the lights and siren and went screaming toward downtown. I listened to the radio as officers tried to determine where in parking lot off Lamar St. the shooter or shooters might be – frantically searching, trying to find out where he, she, they could be. My job then was not to put my car or someone else’s car into the ditch as I worked to get there as quickly and safely as I could. The adrenaline was coursing.

Much, much more:

Since only the negative seems to hit the spot light lately:

Yesterday, because of the Dallas shooting, Snoop Dog and The Game led a peaceful, PRODUCTIVE March to the LAPD extending friendship and dialogue. They arrived during a police academy graduation which Snoop pointed out was good because these young guys are the ones coming into the hood. They're afraid of the people and the people afraid if them. They met with the Mayor and police chief. This could be the start of something beautiful.

I think #Blacklivesmatter should take a look at #hateusnottonight.
They are not angry. They want to effect change through peaceful dialogue to benefit both officers and citizens. Because as they pointed out Everyone wants to make it home to their lived ones at night.

I needed to see this. This gives me hope.

"The Pig has shot and killed Alton Sterling in Baton Rouge, Louisiana! You and I know what we must do and I don't mean marching, making a lot of noise, or attending conventions. We must 'Rally The Troops!' It is time to visit Louisiana and hold a barbeque." ........ Dr. Mauricelm-Lei Millere

The gunman in shootings at protests in Dallas had been sent home from Afghanistan after being accused of sexually harassing a female, and was described as a loner who followed black militant groups on social media.


, lived with family members in the blue-collar suburb of Mesquite, where he played basketball for hours at a time.

For six years starting in 2009, Johnson served in the Army Reserve as a private first class with a specialty in carpentry and masonry, the military said.


In May 2014, six months into his Afghanistan tour, he was accused of sexual harassment by a female soldier. The Army sent him stateside, recommending an "other than honorable discharge,"


That recommendation was "highly unusual," Bradford said, since counseling is usually ordered before more drastic steps are taken.



..... his case, it was apparently so egregious, it was not just the act itself," Glendening said. "I'm sure that this guy was the black sheep of his unit."

..... requested Pfc. Johnson "receive mental help from behavioral health" and a protective order to keep him away from her, her famly and home, according to court filings .......



.....sources tell NBC News that despite the allegations against Johnson, he was not convicted of any criminal offense and received an honorable discharge from the Army in April 2015......


Friends there said the 25-year-old black man didn't seem interested in politics............ his Facebook page suggests otherwise: He "liked" black militant groups

......... showed him wearing a dashiki and raising his fist over the words "Black Power," and his cover shot carried the red, black and green Pan-African flag.

no formal ties between Johnson "any kind of violent Black Power, Black Separatist or other domestic terror group."


....African American Defense League posted a message earlier in the week encouraging violence against police in response to the killing in Louisiana.


his parents divorced in 1996.
.... graduated from John Horn High School in Mesquite, where he was a ROTC member,


she saw him occasionally wearing military fatigues
"They say he was standoffish in high school," ......... He kept to himself."


........wasn't really political and seemed educated.
...... played basketball at a park near his home....."He would be out there for eight hours," "
