Dallas Police Chief Says Suspect Wanted to Kill Whites & White Officers

A peaceful protest that took place in Dallas for the lost lives of Alton Sterling and Philando Castile was held yesterday. The demonstration took place because both men were gunned down by police within a day of each other, and both were caught on film. The protest in Dallas took a deadly turn when shooters began to fire on police officers later in the night, which ultimately resulted in 12 officers being shot, with five fatally wounded.

Since the shooting, the main suspect was killed after the cops exchanged gunfire when negotiations went sour. In a press release conducted by police chief David Brown, many concerns were addressed and information was given about the suspect who was killed. Brown stated that "The suspect stated he wanted to kill white people, especially white officers. The suspect stated that he was not affiliated with any groups and he stated that he did this alone."

Despite what Brown said during the press conference, the police took three other suspects into custody who are believed to be accomplices to the shooting.
