Dallas Police Chief David Brown says had bigger plans than the one he ended up executing in Dallas. When they searched his home, they found a massive amount of explosives. The belief is that Johnson had bigger plans but that the BLM protest gave him an opportunity that he couldn’t pass up. As odd as it may seem, it could be better that he killed just five officers because had he waited and used the explosives he had been hoarding, the carnage could have been much worse.
Before being killed by a bomb-equipped robot, Johnson sang, laughed at and taunted officers, according to Brown, telling them he wanted to “kill white people” in retribution for police killings of black people. “He seemed very much in control and very determined to hurt other officers,” the police chief said.
SURPRISE ATTACK
Brown said police had been caught off guard when some protesters broke away from Thursday’s demonstration, and his officers were exposed as they raced to block off intersections ahead of the marchers.
Johnson’s military training helped him to shoot and move rapidly, “triangulating” his fire with multiple rounds so that police at first feared they were facing several shooters.
Brown defended the decision to use a robot to kill him, saying that “about a pound of C4” explosive was attached to it. He added Johnson scrawled the letters “RB” in his own blood on a wall before dying.
“We’re trying to figure out through looking at things in his home what those initials mean,” the police chief said.
I think I can help the police out. I believe he was trying to write RBG. That stands for Red, black and green, the colors of the Pan-African flag.
In the meantime, we should thank God that Johnson didn’t have the patience to wait until he could add explosives to his arsenal.
