Baton Rouge cop killer was in Dallas during attack there
Long’s time in Dallas
In a recent video posted on YouTube July 10, Long, who was African-American, speaks at the camera eloquently about recent protests and officer-involved shootings, often employing the motifs of blood and money and revolution.
He cites figures ranging from Nat Turner to Malcolm X and George Washington.
That video, he says, was recorded from Dallas, where five police officers were recently killed by a sniper targeting cops.
Long mentions the July 4 holiday as a celebration of an uprising against oppressive forces, and without mentioning Micah Xavier Johnson — the Dallas shooter — by name, he questions why some
violent actions are perceived as criminal while others are celebrated.
A video posted two days earlier is a bit more cryptic, but makes more sense in the aftermath of his shooting rampage.
“I just wanted to let y’all know, don’t affiliate me with nothing,” he says. He says he wanted people to know that his actions were his alone.
He then goes on to list organizations he may be affiliated with — including the Nation of Islam (which he says he was a member of), Floyd Mayweather’s The Money Team (he’s wearing their hat) and terror groups like ISIS.
“I thought my own stuff; I made my own decisions; I’m the one who gotta listen to the judgment,” Long added.

TY for the posts.
BTW: Do you recall seeing any Micah Johnson photos with him wearing an ankh?

Also, 2 news segments on BR updates this morning:
Boris Sanchez — At This Hour with Berman, CNN
he was very active on social media, involved with conspiracy groups and anti-government websites. We know that shortly after the attacks on Dallas, fewer than 2 weeks ago, he rented a car in his home town in Kansas City and drove to Dallas where he filmed a youtube video calling for people to take up arms against police. At some point after posting that video, he came here to Baton Rouge. We don’t know exactly how long he was here, but investigators tell us he was not alone.
We don’t know exactly who he was with or how much they knew about this plot against police officers — Boris Sanchez — At This Hour with Berman

Happening Now, Fox — Will Carr
As for the suspect, we have learned that he was wearing body armour when he ambushed he ambushed the officers...Not ready to say that he acted alone.
There have been reports that the gunman had links to radical groups across the country...High-ranking member of LEO said that there have been copycats who have gone on social media purporting to be the shooter, so now local and federal authorities are working together to sort out fact from fiction.
