CNN anchor calls Dallas gunman ‘courageous and brave’

CNN anchor Fredricka Whitfield appears to have misspoken while referring to the gunman who opened fire on the Dallas Police headquarters as “courageous and brave.”

“It was very courageous and brave, if not crazy as well, to open fire on the police headquarters, and now you have this scene, this standoff. So you believe these are the hallmarks of more than one person’s involvement,” Ms. Whitfield said while speaking with CNN legal analyst Philip Holloway, Mediaite reported.

Not so sure it was truly an oopsie. Fredericka has always been a big fan of the anti-cop protesters, often referring to them as noble and brave. JMO

Mindless Media. Reading the same script. I saw this on Youtube a while back:

Fredrika Whitfield might have just misspoken but is there any news anchor that can think before he/she just reads off of the teleprompter?

Well known to police...mentally ill...where'd he get the gun?

 

[oceanblueeyes]

S/he sure did. Hope s/he's commended appropriately for preventing the potential loss of innocent lives.

I am in awe about the skills these snipers have. And the sniper had to gage where he was sitting because the windows were darkly tinted weren't they?

I hope he is hailed as a hero because he probably saved countless lives today.

Although some departments never reveal who the snipers are or their name.

Bad guys/criminals always find a way to obtain a firearm. Always have and always will. You can buy them on the streets for practically nothing or they steal the gun from a family member's home without them knowing it. They will find a way ...they always do.

He couldn't legally own a firearm because of his domestic violence charges/convictions.

However; I don't believe a law has been passed yet where the FBI can check into the mental history background. He may have had a mental illness but if it wasn't documented then there would be nothing showing up.

I for one, as a legal gun owner .....wish they would enact such a law including mental background checks but so many cry that it is an invasion into someone's medical privacy and we already know how tough those rules are here anyway.

But this guy had to obtain a gun illegally or he had bought the gun way before he was convicted of DV or a private seller sold it to him way before all this happened.

I don't think he was mentally ill by judicial standards anyway. There was way too much planning and if he had lived he would have been found competent and tried in court.

IMO

I am glad that Dallas PD did not bow to political and social pressure to give up their own armored vehicles and tactical weapons, like some communities have been pressured to do. :cop:

I am so glad too Katy. The criminals out there wanting to do harm are always finding better ways to pull it off such as using armored vehicles-high powered assault weapons. We owe it to ALL of our police departments to give them the best and safest up to date vehicles and firepower.

Remember back many years ago most law enforcement officers just carried .38 revolvers to try to fight the bad guys who were using semi-automatic handguns? Finally they caught a clue and knew they had to at least have firearms that were as powerful as the ones trying to harm not only LE but every day citizens.

We will see more of this happening in the future. LE MUST be prepared and the only way they can do that is to have firepower even more powerful than most criminals .........like the .50 cal that was used today and armored vehicles to protect them from those trying to kill them.

It is becoming a war zone in many parts of our nation now.

I will never forget the crazy afternoon, sitting by the tv and watching the Hollywood Shootout, where the bank robbers had Automatic weapons and Kevlar vests, and our local PD had none of that. The cops had to go to a Gun Shop and buy weapons to try and battle them. This shootout went on for hours on live tv. After that, many PD's began allowing cops to have high powered weapons in their trunks.
