Dallas police chief: Shooter had larger plans
CNN ^ | July 10, 2016 | Eric Bradner, CNN

Posted on 07/10/2016 8:25:25 AM PDT by Innovative

The gunman who killed five police officers in Dallas was plotting larger attacks, Dallas Police Chief David Brown said Sunday.

"We're convinced that this suspect had other plans and thought that what he was doing was righteous and believed that he was going to target law enforcement -- make us pay for what he sees as law enforcement's efforts to punish people of color," Brown said in an interview with CNN's Jake Tapper on "State of the Union."

Brown said police found bomb-making materials and a journal at the shooter's home that suggested he'd been practicing detonations and appeared ready to take aim at larger targets.

He said the shooter, Micah Johnson, "obviously had some delusion. There was quite a bit of rambling in the journal that's hard to decipher."

Among Dallas investigators' current goals: Figure out what Johnson had meant by "RB," lettering that Brown said he'd written on the wall in blood before his death.

Good thing they were able to kill him with the robot -- they may have saved many lives.

‘RB’ means ‘Rosebud.’

He had to make do with the abbreviation as his “scary looking assault weapon” didn’t have the optional blood spatula magazine attachment Chuckie Schumer warned us about.

Not according to CNN’s incendiary narrative this AM.

They are implying that the explosives used may have been to harsh and not something a police dept should use.

All asked say it was a necessary move.

I believe CNN is trying to aggravate the situation and imply they only used the device because he was black.

CNN makes me want to puke

I think the chief would have done better to say that Johnson was just an evil man who hated cops and wanted to kill as many as possible, instead of trying to explain his actions by saying “he thought what he was doing was righteous” etc.

Don’t even give a hint of legitimacy to this creep’s ‘motivations’. He was simply a very bad man with hatred in his heart, through and through.

Possibly. I kind of get the impression that he intended to keep that attack up till something got him, that this was his intended swan song. You (rhetorical you, the Islamist) don’t get all that hyped up about Allah just to go to jail.

However. When we see someone clearly wicked, do we ever think about ourselves?

Theologically we should. Not that we put on such a dramatic show of wrong, but on what our lives are based. If not on God, then on the devil, it is that stark a choice. The devil can make nice sometimes but he is still the devil and still gets damned whether making nice or nasty.

I thought they had at least one other suspect in custody after they took out the shooter, according to the news reports. What happened to them? And, at the time of the occurrence, it sounded like it was a coordinated ambush from at least two or more shooting positions. Why the silence from the DPD?
