Group Claims Responsibility For Killing Of Police Officers In Dallas, Says More To Come

A self-proclaimed black power group appears to have taken responsibility for the assassinations of five police officers at a Black Lives Matter protest in Dallas.

The Black Power Political Organisation wrote on its Facebook account that it was behind the attack and that 'more assassinations are coming'.

The message - posted in the aftermath of the shootings - said: "‪#‎BlackPower‬! ‪#‎BlackKnights‬! Sniper Assassins Take Down Five Police Officers! And More Will Be Assassinated In The Coming Days! Do You Like The Work Of Our Assassins? Get Your Own Sniper Rifle And Join Our Thousands Of Sniper Assassins Worldwide In The Fight Against Oppression!”

The message has since been taken down - it is not yet known if it was removed by Facebook or the group itself.
