7/7 Dallas Shooting

[Burnt Hill]

A suggestion that he hadn't finished writing RBG-

‘RBG’ is the name given to the red, black and green Pan African flag, a powerful Black Power symbol.

Weren't taking any chances on his survival huh?
I wonder if that's what killed the negotiator too,
or has that been resolved?

These guys wear khakis and work for a security outfit named Craft. They were all over the place at the Boston Bombing. They also coincidentally were wearing backpacks identical to the backpacks the bomb was in.

Public Enemy's Professor Griff Distances Himself From Dallas Police Shooting
There were other hints about Johnson's political leanings, according to his Facebook profile. While photos depict Johnson in his camouflage Army uniform, the cover shot on his Facebook page carries the red, black and green Pan-African flag.

Decent article from Billboard,
lots of interesting info-

FWIW Wikipedia highlights the street-level shooting. Didn't realize they had wounded him before cornering him.

Johnson began shooting at 8:58 p.m.[14] A bystander reported hearing 50 to 75 shots.[13] Dallas Police Chief David O. Brown said that some of the officers were shot in the back, and that Johnson had some knowledge of the protest route.[14][15] He later said that Johnson had driven his vehicle ahead of the protesters to observe their path, and found an opportunity to shoot from nearby elevated positions in buildings.[16] Dallas Mayor Mike Rawlings said that Johnson fired from different floors of a nearby building.[17] At least twelve officers fired back.[18] During the shooting, officers, unaware where the shots were coming from, scrambled to block intersections and were exposed to gunfire as a result.[16]
Another bystander, who recorded cell phone video of the event from his hotel balcony, reported observing Johnson, clad in tactical clothing and armed with a rifle, at street level. The bystander said Johnson loaded his rifle and began firing indiscriminately to draw officers near his position. When one officer approached a corner, Johnson engaged him in a gunfight, forcing the officer to take cover behind a concrete pillar. Johnson fired at one side of the pillar, then ran over to the other side, ambushed the officer, and shot him multiple times from behind at point-blank range, killing him. After firing additional gunshots into the officer's body, Johnson fled upon being shot at by additional officers.[19][20]
Following the shooting, Johnson was hit by bullets and fled into a nearby parking garage. Following his blood trail, officers confronted Johnson and fired at him, apparently hitting and wounding him again.[21] He then engaged the officers in a standoff at the garage, firing intermittently at them. One officer was injured in the shootout. A suspicious package was discovered near the garage and was secured by a bomb squad.[5][21][22][23] Chief Brown later said Johnson had declared that the end was near, his intentions were to kill more law enforcement personnel, and that he had placed explosives all over the garage and downtown Dallas.[14][24] Brown also said, "We had negotiated with him for about two hours, and he just basically lied to us, playing games, laughing at us, singing, asking how many did he get and that he wanted to kill some more."[25]

This is my RB with a nice ready-made quasi-mystical symbol (from the Church of Iggy):

You guys realise it is SOP (standard operating procedure) to have police snipers at every rally or protest. Has been for years, I see no reason that would change with Dallas. Also thanks for the CRAFT pictures, that's certainly interesting...

Russia and China do not control the Dallas Police Dept or the FBI.

If this was an orchestrated plot and not a lone gunman

False dichotomy. There may well have been an orchestrated plot to deploy a lone gunman and then either a) kill him or b) let him escape, kill an innocent man instead, and then pin the crime on the patsy.

Don't be so pedantic. You know what I meant. Lone gunman as in "no one else involved".

Russia and China (or whoever) don't have to control DPD or FBI, they just have to control the gunman, maybe run some interference and plant some red herrings along the way.

I saw somewhere else that RB might mean robot bomb.

[Wombaticus Rex]

Just a hunch, but "Racewar Begins"? "Racial Bias"? "Randy Biart"(guy who filmed the shooting?) so odd

Unfinished "RBG." And it ain't a Ruth Bader reference.

Bruh, do you even Dead Prez?

Are you saying that because Johnson wore light-colored pants and tactical gear, you think Dallas was a Craft job?

No i'm not saying Dallas was a Craft job. Just a detail I rembered from Boston.

That tattoo is a Yamaha symbol.
Originally for their musical instruments, its also on their motorcycles.

Thanks! I didn't think that tattoo was nefarious, but it sprang back to mind when the triskele was brought up. In a strange sync, though, did anyone else notice that big 7 painted on Dylan Noble's bike in that picture? Unrelated, I'm sure, but a sync.

If the above "black sheep" narrative is true, it's another example of a so called beta-male, unsuccessful with women, lacking in peers, and angry at the world for being so miserable.

To be honest, I find this narrative easier to believe than secret agent, high level cover-up conspiracies designed to panic the public and guide public policy. The world is filled with angry young men and throw in a mix of social media and firearms and there's no reason to stage anything IMO.

Cops kill a bunch of innocent black people causing massive protests nationwide against the encroaching police state.

Government "strategy of tension" agents respond by killing some cops and pinning it on a convenient black patsy.

Police state FTW.

What makes any of this harder to believe than angry lone gunman?

The simplest explanation is almost always the more likely explanation. Not always, but most of the time. The explanation you posit requires conspiracy between multiple people, from a very high level (who would actually care about creating a national narrative), the middle-men, and finally the actors in the field. That conspiracy could widen to include the media and local police, too, unless we assume incompetence is going to pin the blame on the patsy, and would such a conspiracy leave that to chance?

I don't think we need a conspiracy to explain this. Tensions rise and fall in real life without state actors guiding every move as part of an orchestrated plan. If there ever was a conspiracy to create a police state and change the national and geo-political landscape, then that already happened on 9/11. There isn't a need to waste time planning weekly events for a tiny uptick in some metric of state control.
