As the presidential elections are nearing in the
US,the internal situation is turning
from bad to worse. The situation today
is that most states of the US are vulnerable to violence. Some states have even
reached a civil war like situation. Five policemen were killed in an ambush
attack by the snipers during a protest demonstration on Thursday night in Texas
province. Seven people were wounded while more than one thousand people were
injured in the attack. The main suspect of the attack was killed in the police
encounter. The police even closed the US Congress on Friday. The attack in
Dallas city of Texas occurred at such a time when some people were
demonstrating in protest of a Black having been gunned down. This is considered
to be the worstattack so far on US
security persons. Racial violence in the US has increased by about 16 per cent
within last five years. More than 250 Blacks were killed last year alone. Most
of the blacks were killed in California. Besides it, more than 100 hate groups
have also increased in a year. Most of the hate groups are in New York. The
number is feared to grow more than one thousand soon. As such the internal
violence has become the biggest challenge for the US rather than the terrorist attacks within the country. Dallas
Police Chief David Brown told that about 800 people had come to demonstrate and
protesting against the death of two blacks in the police firing. Due to the
protest, one hundred police officers were deputed at the spot. Four gunmen
amongst the protestors attacked byambushing the policemen and firing from
sniper positions from a high place. Gunmen fired on 11 policemen. One among the
suspects was killedby a robot bomb by
the police. Firing between the police and the gunmen lasted for 45 minutes. He
told the people that the killed
assailant talking to the police that he wanted to kill the whites, especially
the policemen. However, he was killed by a robot bomb for not surrendering
before the police even after long time. What triggered the protests? A black
youth named Philando Castile died in police firing in Minnesota on Wednesday.
Philando was fired upon by thewhite police
officer in his own car. Just after the incident his fiancée Diamond Reynolds
uploaded the video on the Facebook. It shows four year old daughter of Diamond
seated on the rear seat of the car seeing the whole incident. As per the
fiancée, police stopped the car just for a having a broken light. In another
incident a person named Alton was killed after the clash with two police
officers in Louisiana on Tuesday. This video also appeared on the social media.
After these two incidents a protest was demonstrated in Dallas. The US
President Barak Obama had gone to Warsaw, the capital of Poland to attend the
NATO summit. After the firing incident he said that this attack is
hatred-creating. It has disturbed the US. I will take the assailants to the
court of justice. Before reaching Warsaw he said that the fatal firing on the
blacks discloses the racial discrimination. Obama also said that probability of
detention of Africans-Americans is 30 per cent more rather than the whites.
Probability of search after detention of these people is more by triple. It is
noteworthy that about 102 blacks have fallen prey to police firing in 2015. 37
per cent of these were unarmed.
