Hours before two snipers opened fire on members of the Dallas Police Department, the official Twitter feed for the DPD was keeping locals updated on the peaceful protest, and even tweeted out some messages that seemed to be in solidarity with protesters.
One image shows two Dallas cops smiling next to a man with a sign that reads “no justice no peace,” next to a sun-kissed photo of protesters at Belo Garden Park.
