New York Post Blares Dallas Police Killings Set Off 'CIVIL WAR'

The New York Post called the killings of five police officers at a Thursday night protest in Dallas a "CIVIL WAR."

The infamous tabloid, known for its inflammatory headlines, framed its cover around the killing of the law enforcement officers at an "anti-police protest."

Anti-police-brutality protests took place Thursday in cities across the nation after the high-profile police shooting deaths of two black men, Alton Sterling in Louisiana and Philando Castile in Minnesota, in two days.

Graphic video of Sterling's close-range shooting by police was posted online. After Castile was shot by police during a traffic stop, his girlfriend documented his final moments on Facebook Live.

Apparently, they want the police to shoot first, and ask no questions.

Apparently, they want to see neighbors killing each other.

Apparently, they want to see families torn apart by political disagreements.

Apparently, they want these disagreements settled by violence.

Apparently, they enjoy the thought of living in fortified keeps (err, sorry, "gated communities&quot .

I could go on. I'm just sick to my stomach.

There are so many better things for us to do besides kill and maim one another!!!!
