THE SHOOTER: Here's what is known about Micah Johnson, who police say was the Dallas sniper [Hassen]
Tampa Bay Times ^ | July 8, 2016

Posted on 07/08/2016 8:17:13 PM PDT by george76

Johnson's Facebook page, confirmed by a federal law enforcement official, shows Johnson chose as his primary picture an image of himself raising a single fist in the air, a symbol associated with the Black Power movement of the 1960s. He also posted a similar image of a fist with the text, "Black Power." The profile also contains a picture of him and Richard Griffin, of the rap group Public Enemy — a point police noted in a statement about the case.

"The suspect's Facebook account included the following names and information: Fahed Hassen, Richard GRIFFIN aka Professor Griff, GRIFFIN embraces a radical form of Afrocentrism, and GRIFFIN wrote a book A Warriors Tapestry," police wrote.

...

Still, much remains unclear about Johnson's life, his background and what motivated him to participate in the deadliest attack for U.S. police since Sept. 11, 2001

I have a very simple question I need answered.

Last night I watched a video recorded by someone in a hotel room that showed a shooter shooting from behind columns and killing a police officer. His SUV was parked with the flashers on. The video had a gap and then showed police had arrived and were attending to the fallen policeman and a couple were moving around and appeared to be looking for the gunman.

Is that the same gunman that was supposed to be in an elevated position and eventually blown up?

On BOR, someone was saying the gunman had to have someone bring him because they have not found his car. Whose car was the dark SUV??

If yo are referring to the black mercedes, they were stopped, questioned , and released. they complied with search and questioning, and were released.

It seems that someone was traveling with a camo colored bag luggage, and while initially they were uncooperative ,
they complied with search and questioning, and were released.

Can’t copy, typing it:

Dallas police officials anonymously leaking allegations of a “conspiracy” to the media — via @dallasnews

A commander in the Dallas Police Department, however, described the shooting as a “conspiracy”. He said several people were involved in teh planning, logistics and execution of the coordinated attack. He declined to elaborate and requested anonymity.

I wouldn’t be surprised if it comes out that the DNC was in on planning these killings.

The SUV was apparently registered to Delphene Johnson, who is the mother of the shooter.

There was a woman arrested near the scene but you never heard another word about her after the initial report.

I don’t understand the sniper shooting from way up in the garage, then suddenly down on the street killing the officer up close, then right back up in his perch in the garage.
That seems strange to me.

re: the Orlando shooter’s wife.

Yeah, the FBI lets people under investigation for a mass murder leave town and disappear all the time. It’s hard to keep up with the workload, the agents have so many cases.

The sequence of events seems to be, shooter leaves SUV, fires at cops, drops a few, then dances around columns near SUV, kills another cop coming from behind. Then he enters the parking garage and eventually fires from the second floor. When a video shows those shots from above, the protestors had already cleared the street and the earlier cops that were shot from street are down.

What about his Islamic connections? Is the Lame Stream Media trying to put a button on Johnson’s terrorist influences?

Connection and film from Breitbart of Black Panther connection
Also Police mentioned a connection to Gun Club. Last night while searching during attack found a Dallas Huey Newton Gun Club that seems to fit the bill.
