Dallas police identified a North Texas man as a gunman responsible for shootings at Dallas protests that left five police officers dead and seven more injured.
Micah Xavier Johnson, of Mesquite, is one of four people police said were responsible for ambushing police officers at a peaceful protest against nation-wide officer-involved shootings in Dallas Thursday.

They are a special kind of stupid.
Agreed.
That pendant he wears. A black power symbol?
“That pendant he wears. A black power symbol?”
Possibly or just another African wannabee symbol?
Um, police are civilians too. They're not soldiers...
He apparently gives lectures at liberal colleges and pedals his CDs and other hate America stuff.
I never heard of him until this morning, then I saw him in the photo with the cop killer. Next, I ran a google search on him and his stuff.
Some Freepers will fill us in on his background and message of hate.
Prof. Grif is the Jeremiah Wright of hip hop.
He must be a real favorite with the Obama’s. I am surprised they do not have him perform at the White House for every 4th of July.
Do you ever see law-abiding suburbanites making the news because they mouthed off to a cop making a stop and wound up toes up, assuming room temperature? Rarely. The ones that do are the urban ferals that cannot seem to exist in a civilized society with the rest of us. It is THIS type of behavior that escalates to a cop pulling his gun.
I have a lead foot and have been pulled over before. I NEVER expected to have anything happen because I listened to the officer in question and complied with his requests. It is the behavior of those being pulled over or stopped with a Rock of Gibralter size chip on their shoulders at the outset and a smart-@ss mouth that just pours gasoline on an already incendiary situation to which I was referring.
How many more have trained by the U.S. military? This could get ugly fast.
I dunno about that...
He sure seemed to learn how to shoot accurately...

Dallas Shooting Suspect, Micah Johnson, ‘Upset at White People’
http://www.nytimes.com/2016/07/09/us/dallas-police-shooting.html?_r=0
“A military veteran who said his goal was to kill white police officers opened fire Thursday night in downtown Dallas, leaving five officers dead and seven wounded before the police killed him with a remote-controlled explosive delivered by a robot, officials said.
“He said he was upset about the recent police shootings,” Chief Brown said. “The suspect said he was upset at white people. The suspect stated he wanted to kill white people, especially white officers.”
So did Janis Joplin, also from Texas.
His puppet masters told him not to giggle like a giddy school girl and ‘flat’ is all he has left.
No, they drive up and seconds later shoot a teen carrying an airsoft rifle. Then later make up stories about calls from citizens about someone firing a rifle in the area, then admit that there were no such calls, but the killing of the boy was okay as it was within policy to shoot someone with a 75% scale replica with a bright orange tip because 'he might have pointed it at the deputy.'

The problem is that the force escalation tree is now bending over from the weight of deadly force acceptance. I have no problem with an officer pulling a gun and getting ready in case something happens. I have every problem with them pulling the trigger when there is not a life threatening situation with the excuse 'it might have turned out that way.' Cops shoot to kill, it is their training, keep firing until they are no longer a danger. That means if things spiral for WHATEVER reason, the present use of force theories say kill first, work out the excuse afterwards.
This is a problem. It doesn't matter if it is an urban or rural or suburban area; these lessons are constantly expanding, as most officers are being trained in high danger urban areas, having those reactions instilled, then getting nice calm jobs in areas around the country where those reactions are entirely uncalled for.
If that’s the case they’s wannabein’ in the wrong group.
Over 30 years ago, my prison guard dad told me that this was who would kill us all.
And he said most of them, I’d never even spot, walking down the street.
They convert the cons, en masse.
I bet his mother is so proud.
Not surprised in the least. Evil never surprises me.
