Micah Johnson, the suspected shooter in the Dallas massacre Thursday night, was reportedly motivated in large part by recent police shootings. He saw white people and especially white cops as enemies who needed to be destroyed.
“The suspect was upset at white people. The suspect said he wanted to kill white people, especially white officers,” said Dallas Police Chief David Brown in a press conference Friday.
Brown is apparently not the only person in his family who felt this way. Johnson’s sister, Nicole, took to social media on Wednesday, prior to the shootings, to justify violence against police, saying, “I for one think these cops needs to get a taste of the life we now fear.”
“(I’m) tired of y’all tryin to be on these cops side making it okay based off irrelevant info when our own get killed over unjust s—.” she said. “White ppl have and will continue to kill us off. The only difference is they serve the system hiding behind that blue suit and get off easy murdering civilians.”
After the shootings, Johnson later wrote a followup post, in which she tried defending her brother’s character.
“The news will say what they think but those that knew him know this wasn’t like him. This is the biggest loss we’ve had.”
