I saw this while reading on Dallas shooting

Micah Xavier Johnson, the lone gunman in Thursday night's ambush on police in downtown Dallas, was an Army veteran who friends described as a nice guy.

But he also was enraged with police shootings of black men around the country, he told negotiators during a tense standoff, and he "had very strong feelings about being black," a former co-worker said.

Authorities are now investigating whether Johnson was directed by the militant groups he "liked" on social media — including the African American Defense League, the Black Riders Liberation Party, the Huey P. Newton Gun Club and the New Black Panther Party — or merely emboldened by them.

"I think it's safe to say we'll leave no stone unturned," Dallas police Deputy Chief Scott Walton said.

It's unclear if Johnson was merely a follower or a more active participant of those groups.

Babu Omowale, co-founder of the Huey P. Newton Gun Club, a black militia that performs armed community patrols in Dallas, said Johnson attended black community events in Dallas.

Omowale told Reuters that he did not personally know Johnson but recognized him from group events.

"He wasn't a stranger to us," Omowale said.

Members of the group — formed in 2014 in response to police shootings — said Thursday's attack was unfortunate but not surprising.

"There's many people that this particular individual represents," co-founder Yafeuh Balogun said. "He in a sense spoke on their behalf and unfortunately it made a lot of officers lose their lives."

On Facebook, however, Balogun appeared to praise Johnson's actions, writing Sunday, "He shall be celebrated one day." People who replied called Johnson a hero who stood up to injustice.

The militia's co-founder wasn't alone in that sentiment.

After the fatal police shootings of Alton Sterling in Louisiana and Philando Castile in Minnesota last week, black militant groups and others quickly called for people to seek vengeance against police.

And Dallas' officers weren't the only ones in the crosshairs.

Police were targeted during a traffic stop in a St. Louis suburb and an ambush after a 911 call in Valdosta, Ga. An officer was wounded in a series of highway shootings in northeastern Tennessee, and someone shot at San Antonio's police headquarters.

Hmm! Interesting. I will like to know where this investigation leads. The shooter might have been acting on his own based on what was preached in one of those rebel groups he belongs too.

When Yoruba starts something it becomes the law

The action of these gun groups will expose more blackmen to harm.

Its a fight between the black and the police.

White guys are on the fence watching. If they piss the white off, its not going to be funny.
