This guy Cory (sp) is rocking it. Thank God he is getting attention and getting this cleared up before another innocent ends up dead.

Good to know that one guy got cleared. He has video proof of him being just as scared as everyone else, even though he was armed.

As a native of DFW, its really disgusting the amount of stereotyping most people here are spewing about the city. It is home to various liberal colleges SMU, UTD, etc. People acting like seeing someone with a gun in public is would be viewed as normal are the same idiots who think all Texans go to work on horseback and a cowboy hat.

I mean...it isn't a huge leap? He's walking around with a gun. If he was white, he'd probably be a person of interest too in this case.

Nah, I'm sure other people were exercising their 2nd amendment rights tonight but it's NO MISTAKE that the black guy gets targeted.

2nd amendment don't mean shit for black folks in America.

Just saw a CBS interview with the brother of this "POI"; he says he gave his gun to a cop when the shooting started. His gun wasn't even loaded, and says he's 100% was not involved in the shootings.

If the poi gave the gun to the police how do you have a conference saying he a poi and can't find him. You just took his gun from him?

The 24 hour news needs to catch up. They're still showing that guy in camo and black shorts as a POI.

Also there's cops on the news already blaming the protestors for this.

Is open carry in the 2nd amendment? It must be there in the fine print somewhere, right?

"Shall not be infringed" crap they use. This actually might open up 2nd amendment discussions because I'm sure police are going to be even more jumpy seeing guns out in the open

Let's be clear here, Dallas and other cities like Austin and Houston are pretty big, metropolitan, liberal cities. This shit does not happen here, at least not in this scale.

Same here.

I've got an early day tomorrow but I'm not gonna be able to sleep with this shit going on.

I know it's about 30 minutes away from where I am right now, but like you said, Dallas is my backyard. It's just hitting so close to home and it's absolutely mental.

Not to diminish what's going on, but I'm less than 30 minutes from where Castilo was shot, and I'll sleep like a baby tonight.

The journalist on CBS says the "suspect" was RIGHT THERE when he interviewed Corey before he was on the air, and had no gun.

I'd bet that guy's picture got filtered to the dallas PD Via 4chan racist fucks. I hate this shit.

'Eyewitnesses' my fucking ass.

His brother is on the news now. Said his brother gave his gun to an officer. This guy doesn't seem like a suspect at all.

I hope to be 100% right about him and how he came to be a POI. Bigass weapon makes you memorable and likely to be reported when cops ask, "you guys seen anyone with a bigass rifle today?"

RIP to officer #4

The story of the guy with the rifle is quite the twist... Guy was even so self-aware of the fact he'd be instantly suspected that he gave up the gun when this started.

Edit: Sorry for the awful top-of-page post. I really hate "internet justice."

And this is the reason everyone was told not to post pictures here. Anyone who gets ban is fully deserving.

Stop doing this shit. These are people's lives that stand potential to be put in danger.

Came straight from the police, dude. Nothing wrong with, IMO, posting a person of interest that THE POLICE HAVE ASKED FOR MORE INFORMATION ABOUT.

The guy was a POI because he was carrying an ASSUALT RIFLE. Citizens did the RIGHT thing by sending in pics of him to police. The second the POLICE released the pic the news had to report it. There is no one to blame but the guy with the rifle.

Damn another cop dead. RIP
