On Thursday night FIVE Dallas police were killed during a Black Lives Matter protest.
Footage captured one of the killers taking pot shots at police from behind a downtown Dallas pillar.
The Black Lives Matter protesters were blocking the street and taunting police before the shooters unloaded on police.
One protester described to reporters how the Dallas police saved his life.
Protester: We started hearing rapid fire. One police officer standing there pushed me out of the way because it was coming our direction. Like you can see my legs are scarred up because he pushed us out of the way.
