Multiple Assailants Attack Dallas Police Headquarters With Automatic Guns, Pipe Bombs

Over the past several years, the US government has been confounded with not only explaining, but how to properly respond to one of the clear and obvious consequences of the Fed’s disastrous policy of the past 7 years, namely record wealth inequality, leading to rising social instability and a surge in public outbreaks of violence, frequently lethal. One need only note the flash riots in Baltimore and Ferguson to comprehend how fragile the US social fabric has become.

But while the government is still utterly clueless how to explain this surge in social violence, something Zero Hedge readers have known for a long time is imminent(recall“despite what should be a steadily improving economy and improving social and economic conditions, what readers founds most fascinating, and troubling, was the increasing preponderance of social disobedience, of covert, proxy or outright wars, and of civil unrest: all phenomena that accompany a world sliding deeper into distress, not as most central banks and their puppet media would have us believe, a global recovery.”), where its response has been even more deplorable is how to respond to this increase in civil disobedience: by weaponizing the US police force to an extent that is reminiscent of pre-civil war condition; a police force which feels enabled and duly required to intervene well beyond the required in quelling and pre-empting imminent violence.

The result is clear: in a game of rapidly escalating violence, public antagonism against the police is met with increasingly more acute brutality, which in turn forces even more social unrest and violence and so on in a positive feedback loop.
