What I\u2019m curious about now is the \u201cpersonal journal of combat tactics\u201d said to be recovered at the Dallas sniper\u2019s home. Mind immediately goes to the tactics section of 2083: A European Declaration of Independence, Anders Brevik\u2019s pre-attack manifesto/memoir.
A big point Brevik made was that modern police\u2019s strongest weapons weren\u2019t guns but radios and the ability to concentrate forces and set up sieges; accordingly he emphasized forward motion, that every second spent pinned in cover exchanging fire was a win for police and the strategy was to power through first responders, with ballistic armor and heavier weapons that meant you\u2019d come out ahead in equal exchanges.
That bit in Dallas rushing a cop taking cover behind a pillar in particular reminded me of Brevik\u2019s \u201cThrust of the Martyr\u201d technique, don\u2019t know how close it compares to actual military CQB tactics dude might\u2019ve trained in.
