Thanks.
This is coming down in about 9 hours. Many police friends and family on edge.
Found this in the middle of article in Dallas morning news:
Shooter’s history
The suspected gunman told The News in 2004 that he wanted to empower residents to stand up to the police and fight back as a last resort.
“We’re willing to defend by any cause and every cause,” Brown said in 2004. “If that takes fighting back, Lord have mercy for me on what should happen on the streets, but I’m willing.”
But he also said he wanted to steer away from the militant stereotype of the Black Panthers.
Brown had a lengthy criminal history in Dallas County. He pleaded guilty to driving while intoxicated and firearms charges.
