I'm shocked. Shocked!

James Boulware, the man killed by Dallas police Saturday morning after he attacked them with gunfire and an armored assault vehicle, wasnt exactly what right-wingers expected. From the start of the incident, Twitter exploded with assumptions that it was some kind of Black Panther-, Al Sharpton-inspired siege in support of the #blacklivesmatter movement.
That or a Muslim terrorist doing what the right thinks all Muslims do.
The truth is going to hurt. Boulware wasnt a Muslim terrorist; he wasnt a thug supporting Michael Brown. It wasnt Obamas fault....
If you listen to Boulwares father, the police and government agencies had pushed his poor misunderstood son over the brink by taking his child away. If you listen to the truth, he was a violent domestic abuser who had no business having a wife and kids to begin with.

When my son moved to Dallas a few years ago and was looking for apartments, he found a great affordable place and reassured me that it was in a safe neighborhood - "Dad, it's right across the street from the Police HQ". All of the TV camera views were from the roof of that apartment building.
Fortunately, for my sanity, not only has he moved on from that job - I was visiting him for the weekend when we heard about this so I never for a moment had to wonder about the role of chance in our lives.
