Former U.S. Republican Congressman Joe Walsh reacted to the murders of five policemen at a protest against police brutality on Thursday by declaring war on President Barack Obama and the Black Lives Matter movement.
Snipers from rooftops in Dallas targeted police officers in the citys downtown, killing five and wounding six more in an attack that police said was a premeditated ambush. It is one of the deadliest attacks on police in U.S. history.
Police arrested three people and a fourth gunman killed himself with a gunshot, according to local media. The fourth gunman had warned of bombs planted in the city but authorities are yet to comment on the validity of his claims.
"This is now war. Watch out Obama. Watch out Black Lives Matter punks. Real America is coming after you," he tweeted following the attack, before later deleting the post.

when the police arrested the professor in his own home when the police acted STUPIDLY which was the truth...The CONS started this meme that the President was against the police because of his skin color. Also,Walsh is a POS!

his background is an odd mix of everything -- Lee Strasberg acting, social work, radio show

Has attack Obama before (big surprise, not):
Walsh has also said that President Obama was elected "because he pushed that magical button: a black man who was articulate, liberal, the whole white guilt, all of that."
