UPDATED: This is the horrific moment when one of five policemen were gunned down after a "Black Lives Matter" protest in Dallas, Tex. — with at least six other officers critically wounded by a sniper who policemen say wasn't acting alone! The brutal murders began at the end of a downtown Dallas protest against the recent police shootings of
Alton Sterling and
Philando Castile.

Black Lives Matter activist King Noble posted this video in September celebrating the "rebellious energy" of a man who murdered a white deputy sheriff in Houston, saying: "To me, what the Houston, Texas, brutal execution before the public represents — it's open season on killing whites and white police officers, and probably killing cops, period."

"So now you got some black militant, or some angry black man, walks up and executes a cracker cop in broad daylight," King Noble adds in the troubling footage. "This is real...it's funny, that now we're moving to a time when the predator will become the prey."

The bloody night is now the most deadliest single attack on law-enforcement figures since 9/11.
President Obama declared the shootings to be a "vicious, calculated and despicable attack on law enforcement." He hosted leaders of the Black Lives Matter movement at the White House in September of 2015 — the same month that King Noble posted his video.
