A suspect in the Dallas police shooting has been identified as Micah X. Johnson, 25, the Los Angeles Times reported Friday. Johnson was a resident of the Dallas area who had no ties to terror groups or a criminal history. An unnamed law enforcement official told the Los Angeles Times Johnson had relatives in Mesquite, Texas.
Johnson appears to have been the only gunman in Thursday’s night’s deadly sniper attack on the Dallas police, according to the New York Times. Originally, officials reported that there were two or three “snipers” involved in the attack.

“He wanted to kill officers. And he expressed killing white people, killing white officers, he expressed anger for Black Lives Matter,” Dallas Police Chief David Brown said during a press conference. Chief Brown also stated that the suspect claimed the police would find I.E.Ds.

According to Army records, Johnson was a Private First Class in the U.S. Army Reserves, serving from 2009 to 2015. A source within the Dallas Police department stated Johnson served in the 284th Engineering Company, 961st Engineering Battalion, 420th Engineer Brigade based out of Seagoville, TX.
New York Times claims “nothing in his records suggests he saw combat, or was injured,” but a deployment to Afghanistan in 2013 can be confirmed.

Johnson was killed by Dallas police after a remotely operated robot detonated a bomb near him around 2:30 a.m. Law enforcement officials said Johnson had no known criminal history or ties to terror groups, but images on social media show him interacting with a former member of the hate group* Nation of Islam.

[…] Military reported that “He wanted to kill officers. And he expressed killing white people, killing white officers, […]
All Lives MATTER>:NOT JUST ONE COLOR:”:”So Sick of this Dumb Crap;
I’ll bet he became a racist terrorist DURING OBAMA’S ADMINISTRATION. Obama has implants like this one, all over the US now.
rot in hell, maggot shit
Well this like everything else proves that there are shit bags in every job. This in NO way repersents the United States Army and he is not a sniper far from in fact. Im in the Army and if I had a chance to kick his ass I would …you dont dishonor the uniform, your country or your family
let me guess, registered democrat?
He didn’t go to he’ll if he asked for forgiveness
[…] Police cornered and killed a final suspect, 25-year-old Micah Xavier Johnson, in the early hours of Friday morning, using a small bomb attached to a robot. That suspect told police that he “wanted to kill white people,” especially white cops, that the “end was coming,” and that he had acted alone. According to sources within the Dallas Police department, Johnson was a Private First Class in the US Army Reserves. […]
[…] we go: Dallas shooting suspect identified as U.S. Army veteran Wait for it………. Also a Lone Wolf Muslim does something and we are told not to worry. […]
After Orlando, the entire NRA was responsible.
After Charleston, every Southerner was responsible.
But after Dallas, don’t DARE blame BLM.
Where’s Al and Jesse I don’t here them saying anything.
Oh my God. He was an engineer.
My husband was an engineer (Cold War era).
I wouldn’t be suprised if later it was found out that he applied and was turned down for a police job in the Dallas area, we need to look at his service record, and psycological test results we might find a hidden factor
Thats what makes the power of the internet so great because all the white people casting judgement on this army vet probably werent on here the last 2 days casting judgement on the white cops that killed 2 black men in cold blood.
Check out Brian Berry FB page who just luaghed at dead Police officers on my comment…by the looks of his page and comments on it it needs to be brought to the attention of the Dallas PD…screenshot it…he’s a racist PIG
Don’t even use the word veteran he’s a price of shit
I think it’s messed up that a cop had to either defend himself or he acted befor he thought and shot a guy the other dawhite.. it’s sad.( black or white it doesn’t matter..then a bunch of cops get shot by a army vet.whats the world coming to.r ly.thats not the way to retaliate
I am a retired British firearms cop, just chipping in to say, my thoughts are with the officers killed and wounded, and their families. When these terrible incidents occur we recognise that officers around the world are the thin blue line between the decent and the violent, RIP.
Hey so where are all you hate mongers when an innocent 12 yr old is shot. I dont hear you calling these police officers pieces of shit. You hypocritical lowlifes.
Who hired him and his “team”? Follow the money…. it is odd that the attention now is off Hillary “the Butcher of Benghazi” Clinton…..
Thanks for the free publicity asshole, the army doesn’t need shit bags like you creating bad media, hope your funeral is disgraced and your battalion removes your memory from history
Figured it had to be a trained vet when I first heard about the accurate sniper fire. Horrible American tragedy.
Private Johnson, thank you for your service.
… “suspect”. What evidence do we have?
why the nation of Islam a hate group?
He’s a disgrace to our Country just like obama is. The media may deny that he wasn’t affiliated with no group but he was especially if he was with the nation of islam. It’s a cover up. It’s a way for obama to carry out his sick agenda on America and it’s citizens. He still blames guns what a quack. To blamed for all that has been going on is obama he created this state of mind and hate in the heart’s of the already mind twisted, weak minded people. People are being psychologically manipulated and controlled. Blame obama! Put obama in prison or if not put obama in front of an firing squad for treason. May God Bless America! What’s left of it!
I hope he rots in hell! The fact that he was in the military makes it so much worse!!
not a part of Terror groups, except Black Lives Matter
It is interesting how the caption trumpets that he was a US Army veteran, and WAYYY down in one of the pictures it mentions he was a Nation of Islam member. No way Nation of Islam has anything to do with islam, which we all recognize is the religion of peace; our president tells us so. And Louis Farrakhan, leader of the nation of islam, spews messages of peace and brotherhood of all races relentlessly, has pet unicorns, and farts Chanel no 5. Yes, we will be told the US Army made him this way.
Coward!
Appears that there is a wee one casting someone else’s ideas around as if they were his. What a ‘maroon’!
POS, hope he’s the one that got blown up, and died slowly
Burn in hell, homie!
My guess would be the virgin’s are not happy about the police blowing up his dick.
White lives matter !!!
What a great guy
All this damn hate, anger, we come back home from all the hostility of war just to be welcome by racial tensions. This ex private does not represent us, as a global force, the media is spining the story claiming he is a war vet. We will not win divided- black, white, latin, asian, w/e- it really doesnt matter, WE ARE AMERICANS.
People PLEASE DONT GO TO THESE PROTESTS!!!! I don’t care what race you are this is what our government wants!! Black guys killed by white cops blacks get riled up and want to hurt whites then white cops killed by black guys whites get riled up and want to hurt blacks race wars start riots happen obama declares martial law guns are taken elections canceled obama stays president then the New World Order comes in!! It is all part of the plan!! We can fight this but all races Have to work together and not against each other!! I love you all let’s make this happen. Please share with everyone!!!
What is sick is all these killings of black people and no one saying anything so I support everything that brother gave up his life for100%
So Johnson was recruited by the Nation of Islam… Muslim terrorist ties…
Let’s see how many White Christians forgive him the same way Black people did with the executions in the south Carolina church. You can’t pick and choose when you want to be a Christian. Hypocrisy at its best. Good cops have to take charge and weed out the bad cops because conditions that create hopeless people will eventually cause chaos.
I would have given my left nut to give this piece of shit some good old fashioned wall to wall counseling. Rest in pieces ya dumb bitch.
I guess his actions qualify him as a terrorist but… The freaking cops turned a robot into a “suicide bomber!” LOL What a strange way to die… Killed by a robot.
That piece of crap is not a veteran
[…] on social media show him interacting with a former member of the hate group Nation of Islam." Dallas shooting suspect identified as U.S. Army veteran __________________ The only way to deal with an unfree world is to become so absolutely free […]
The problem is we have always had corruption and always will have corruption this is nothing new! With Social Media being what it is we can look forward to things getting a lot worse no doubt. People have to understand there is no answer to most of the worlds problems. This has been creeping up on us all slowly for years to many people have nothing to lose to many people are tired of being cold- hungry- hated – looked down on. Seeing the Gov. and police are not getting the job done people take issues into their own hands! Do I agree does not matter facts are facts!!
No ties to a radical group??? What about the upraised FIST? Isn’t that a BLM/Black Panthers symbol???
Don’t blame his act on “PTSD”…this guy PURPOSELY DID THIS!!!
This sad excuse of a human being does not represent the Army. I have known many honorable men who have served who would love to get there hands on this guy. I knew he was a shit bag POG from the BSB from the moment I saw his pictures.
Go go black kill white and white kill black, as we know all white people’s mouth said freedom and democracy and not racist and not descrimantion but in deep heart all white people are the most racist and descrimantion.
he’s dressed like a mozzie….I guess we’ll never know with barry protecting them…….If he’s not dead I wanna see him fry
Sad! Sad! Sad!
GOOD WORK, BROTHA X!!
#ChickensComeHomeTooRoost
Love it..
Should’ve got more of them, RIP what a hero
This guy is a scapegoat. Look at the shitty crop job in the last photo. The Clinton Mafia probably set him up!!
The shooter is a white Neo-nazi guy. This article is incorrect, you’re writing trash!
Crime Statistics
Black people in the United States are more likely to be victims of violent confrontations with police officers than whites because they commit more violent crimes than whites per capita.
FACT: Despite making up just 13% of the population, blacks commit around half of homicides in the United States. DOJ statistics show that between 1980 and 2008, blacks committed 52% of homicides, compared to 45% of homicides committed by whites, but in actuality that 45% is not exactly accurate as homicides committed by Hispanics are factored in with that of whites.
More up to date FBI statistics tell a similar story. In 2013, black criminals carried out 38% of murders, compared to 31.1% for whites, again despite the fact that there are five times more white people in the U.S.
FACT: From 2011 to 2013, 38.5 per cent of people arrested for murder, manslaughter, rape, robbery, and aggravated assault were black. This figure is three times higher than the 13% black population figure. When you account for the fact that black males aged 15-34, who account for around 3% of the population, are responsible for the vast majority of these crimes, the figures are even more staggering.
FACT: Despite the fact that black people commit an equal or greater number of violent crimes than whites, whites are almost TWICE as likely to be killed by police officers. According to data from the Centers for Disease Control, between 1999 and 2011, 2,151 whites died as a result of being shot by police compared to 1,130 blacks.
Critics argue that black people are overrepresented in these figures because they only represent 13% of the population, but they are underrepresented if you factor in violent crime offenders. In other words, you would expect the number of blacks and whites killed by police to be roughly equal given that they commit a roughly equal number of violent crimes, but that’s not the case. Whites are nearly 100% more likely to be victims.
And what about black on white violence in general?
FACT: Despite being outnumbered by whites five to one, blacks commit eight times more crimes against whites than vice-versa, according to FBI statistics from 2007. A black male is 40 times as likely to assault a white person as the reverse. These figures also show that interracial rape is almost exclusively black on white.
“Even allowing for the existence of discrimination in the criminal justice system, the higher rates of crime among black Americans cannot be denied,” wrote James Q. Wilson and Richard Herrnstein in their widely cited 1985 study, “Crime and Human Nature.” “Every study of crime using official data shows blacks to be overrepresented among persons arrested, convicted, and imprisoned for street crimes.”
It’s clear that the greater propensity for black people to commit violent crimes is a driving factor as to why blacks are becoming involved in more violent confrontations with police than their 13% population figure suggests they should be. If the 911 calls are coming from black areas and are related to black people committing violent crimes, then of course black people are more likely to be involved in violent confrontations with cops. Does that justify police brutality in cases such as Freddie Gray, Walter Scott or Eric Garner? No. But it does demolish the ‘Black Lives Matter’ narrative that the general trend of black people being victims of violent encounters with police is solely down to the fact that cops are racist towards black people. Racism is a factor, but the statistics clearly show that it’s by no means the only factor, and some would argue not even the dominant factor.
But aren’t all these statistics undermined by the fact that black people are unfairly targeted and framed for crimes by police officers in the first place? Don’t higher arrest and conviction rates of blacks merely prove that police are racist?
This argument is debunked by looking at the proportion of offenders identified – not by police – but by victims – as black. The National Crime Victimization Survey shows that the number of blacks arrested generally correlates with the number of offenders identified as black by victims. Studies suggest that the reasons behind blacks being more likely to commit violent crimes are the dual issues of poverty (which exacerbates family breakdown) and a sub-culture amongst the black community that is tolerant of and glamorizes crime and violence. In the aftermath of the Ferguson and Baltimore riots, we saw the white metropolitan liberal media further legitimize this violence by openly justifying and even endorsing violent unrest that targeted mainly black-owned businesses.
This is true racism – by encouraging blacks to loot and riot, the white liberal media is helping to keep black communities in a cycle of destructive behavior that will lead to more police brutality targeted against black people.

Too bad it’s a soldier implicated, but a well developed story Michael Swaney. – Marc DeMatos, BA History, Florida Atlantic ’93, Vet / Medic 1st Cavalry.
Quit showig him in uniform. He doesn’t repersent the military he was a terriost and the media is trying to play it as if he was a hero or had ptsd.
Nation of islam… Doesnt have anything to do woth islam either.. Just like isis has nothing to do with islam… Fcking idiots
your last comments say it all. You are a Democratic a Liberal that spews labels, epithaths, names without a shred of evidence to prove what you are saying. PROVE what you just said with verifiable, substiantial FACTS.
your Facebook page says your from Australia. We don’t need people from other countries spouting trash to or st us. Your county has it’s own problems that you should be taking care of instead of sticking your nose in our business.
As a Veteran myself, I just want to say salute comrade!
OK let’s take a step back and analyze this, look t the photo of this ass hat in his dashiki with his fist raised, Black Power, symbol of the Black Panthers, (ISLAM), Louis Farrakhan, Angela Davis etc. (there goal is to kill white people) now I don’t know about any of you others out there, to me that is a terrorist organization, (all be it a home grown one)
If he was only a PFC after 6 years in the reserves then he is a failure and was probably dicharged for failing to make rank or some sort of misconduct. He is a disgrace to the uniform and everyone who served honorably.
Was in 6 years and only a PFC…article 15 city
To bad they killed him
Should rot in jail
Hell has a special suite picked out for this pile of crap
magically he was a lone gunman
Is the Nation of Islam a hate group?
Law-Enforcement and the Military are our only back-up, so we back them. They’re the only ones who do the job needed done. The only ones who try their best to put aside personal feelings–feelings like all of us have–and take care of business.
Micah X?? That just screams racism! This crap is so one-sided these days!
Well, the good thing is he is dead, dead, dead and hopefully the fire is really hot for him !
THE BIG QUESTION I HAVE IS 6YRS IN SERVICE BUT STILL THE RANK OF PRIVATE. THIS OPENS A LOT OF QUESTIONS.
Glad the garbage is dead
one less nigger pos===yes i said the n word because a decent black man would not have done this ===he is a terrorist pos that dishonors his family and his race
The N.O.I a hate group? Not at all
Also professor Griff is a man of wisdom and integrity.
Why not raid Natiion of ISlam, they are just as guilty
Shoot him
That puts a real stain on the military. Why serve if you don’t love your Country or fellow brother and sisters?
Why do people comment, I am going out on a limb here, do you people understand no one gives a fuck about your comments on either side . Maybe it’s a way you can vent . Nothing changes we just go about our lives until the next incident realty is no one cares , they just vent and comment
Sorry excuse for a human being.
http://newobserveronline.com/far-more-whites-killed-by-us-police/
black lives do matter,watching from afar,Perth,Western Australia…but so does every life matter…violence begats violence,never ending…stop shooting each other,POLICE,stop shooting unarmed civilians,it seems your law enforcement agencies,have an agenda to shoot first and let them bleed,ive not seen one shooting where first aid was given…seen so much negative press against the police…its like they,the press,are trying to start a civil war,an the police want it to happen…been to america seen your beautiful country and people…
Army veteran? Perfect MK Ultra test subject.
As a disabled Army veteran, I’m so upset what has been happening in our Nation. If this guy had mental issues, how come it wasn’t treated? 3 out the 5 cops killed were veterans! He killed his own brother at arms! All lives matter!
That is the first time that I ever read, about police sending in a robot to blow up a bad guy.
Usually police just shoot and kill the suspect. Very clever.
May he go to hell, and burn forever..
This man was a hero. A vet who faught overseas to defend us. He believed he was fighting the enemy from within, that he’s fighting for a just cause. This poor man was turned murderer by the media who makes a point to state when the victim was black, but ignores when the victim is white, creating a false sense of racism and provoking good man to react against their brothers
Good guy with a gun argument… Destroyed
A total disgrace to the uniform!!
If they want a war……….We have all the guns so becareful what you ask for.
Let’s all get skin grafts and show our true color!!!
Several french fries short of a happy meal………he does not look very bright in the photo.
1. He was a reservist for 6 years. That is a total of like 230 days in actual uniform.
2. He was a carpenter, MOS 12W. Otherwise known as a fuckin POG.
3. He was deployed in 2012 to Bagram in Afghanistan. Which is basically the opposite of combat. He didn’t come home with PTSD because he never had a fuckin chance to get it!
Before you go and call this guy some crazed killer veteran with PTSD who is a danger to society, remember the facts. Unless he paid out of pocket and spent an enormous amount of time and effort training outside of the Army, he would have NEVER LEARNED THAT SKILLSET IN UNIFORM.
Basic training, playing soldier on the weekend and a FOB deployment does not give you the ability to assault cops like your a Green Beret. Something here just isn’t right.
michelle your how old do you feel like a big girl talking shit on the internet? we need more people like micah cops think they can just walk all over us well some have had enough (Y)
i condone murder cause putting them in jail does nothing alot of people dont deserve to live in this world just saying
This should tell you about the individual. He spent 6 years in the military. He was only an E-3. Most soldiers make that rank within the first year and a half to two years of service. He should have been working on his E-5 by then or even obtained it.
All I see is haters I really think they hate their life
is why is said vets , can not be trusted neither for some come back , but they are messed up..
