Gilbarty ELA 1/ Period 9 1 16 September , 2016 Dallas Massacre It was a hectic week since there were videos showing two African American men shot by police in Louisiana and Minnesota. This made many people outrage and many protest because of police use of force across the country. These protest turned into violent actions that caused the death of 5 officers. A man wanted to kill officers, specifically white officers. This man was Micah Johnson, a military veteran who has served in Afghanistan. He had many weapons including bomb making materials in his own house. I'm going to take a wild guess and say that this guy was frustrated about the police officer's killing the "innocent" civilians. In addition of the 5 officers that were killed seven other officers and two civilians were wounded. After the whole shooting Mr. Johnson kept cops in a garage for hours claiming that he had planted explosives and threatened to kill even more officers than he already did. After it all, he was killed on that Friday by an explosive delivered by a remote-controlled robot. I watched the news every morning and hearing about the shooting was just crazy and sad at the same time. I was visiting New York and all of a sudden I see this big group of people with signs. "Black Lives Matter" was on most of the signs and it was crazy actually witnessing a protest like such. I think the officers acted very violent and weren't fair. On the other hand, I don't think more violence would resolve it. The civilians who were killed had families and so did the officers who got shot and it's sad to me how stuff turned out. Great job! :)
