Dallas Police Identify a Gunman in Dallas Protest Shootings
NBC DFW ^ | 7/8/2016 | Todd L. Davis

Posted on 07/08/2016 8:13:59 AM PDT by RightGeek

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.

Police said officers cornered Johnson and negotiated with him for hours before talks broke down. Dallas Police Chief David Brown said Johnson told officers he was upset about recent shootings involving police and "wanted to kill white people. Especially white officers."

After an exchange of gunfire, Brown said officers attached an explosive device to a bomb robot and detonated it near Johnson, killing him.

A black SUV found at the scene of the shootings was listed as registered to Delphene Johnson, also of Mesquite.

There is a picture of him up on Drudge...with his fist held high, one of Obama’s sons.

Wait...why are cops allowed to use robotic bombs? Since when in this a war zone and since when are they trained for such tactics?

This is very close, if not the same, as our government using a drone to kill a citizen on U.S. soil. I have absolutely no sympathy for the murderer, but this action by the police creates a new precedent.

For a person who hates white people he sure had no qualms about living in a white neighborhood in a house that utilizes white building codes.

Delphene, anyway. I guess that’s her hizzouse in the article.

I posit Delphine is his mom.

What’s the problem with the police dropping a bomb in his lap? Enough cops were dead or wounded already.

I think there will soon be a new “What you need to know” and that is “he converted to Islam...”.

Talk of an unidentified package near him. He mentioned bombs. So the sent the robot in to explode the “package” and it got him too!

Because is this going to be the new standard? Just send in a bomb to blow up suspects? Is that really a road we want to head down?

Dead is dead. What difference does it make, or would you have the police go up and stab him with a knife?

Nothing sacred about killing a madman only with a gun. I wouldn’t care if they gassed him or talked him into jumping off the building.

Would you rather a sniper had taken him out from a distance?

I hope minimal property damage occurred blowing this punk to hell. Some poor guy has to clean it up.
