'I want to kill white people, especially white officers... You will eventually find IEDs (bombs).'
The shooter claimed he was not affiliated with any group, but
confessed that he was motivated by Black Lives Matter. This is according
to Dallas Police Chief David Brown.
The war between law enforcement and black Americans has intensified overnight. Between one and four snipers in Dallas killed five officers and wounded seven others. It is the deadliest day in law enforcement history since 9/11. Excluding the shooter, fourteen people were shot.

LOS ANGELES, CA (California Network) - Racial tensions in Dallas have resulted in a long-running gun battle between suspects who sought to kill police officers, especially whites.
The gunman has been identified as Micah Xavier Johnson, 25 of Mesquite.
As of this morning, five officers are dead and seven others injured. One gunman is dead. Three others are in custody. It is unclear if those in custody were also shooters or were otherwise involved.
The rampage began amid a Black Lives Matter protest, around 9 PM Central time in Dallas, Texas. The community assembled, quite peaceably, around 7 PM. The protest was intended to express outrage over the killings of two unarmed black men by police. Both killings were filmed and functionally appear to show officers executing their victims.
At 9 PM, the first shots were fired, sending protesters scurrying for cover. Within five minutes, police sent out a warning that an active shooter was near the protest.
Witnesses claimed the shooter was using an AR-15, firing from a parking structure. Witnesses said he had so many ammunition magazines, they kept falling out of his pockets.
Half an hour later, two officers were reported down. Within an hour, 10 officers had been hit, some fatally. By 11 PM, police managed to reduce the situation to a standoff in the El Centro College parking garage.
After a lengthy standoff lasting hours, the suspect was eventually injured by an explosion, possibly a grenade or a flashbang. Before he died of his injuries, the suspect told negotiators that he acted alone. He explained he wanted revenge for recent incidents of police brutality. He added he especially wanted to kill white police officers.
The suspect was confirmed dead at 3:06 AM.
Three other people were arrested in connection with the shootings, but it is unknown what their involvement was.
President Obama spoke from Warsaw, saying that he was "horrified and stand united with the police department in Dallas."
A black militant organization has claimed responsibility for the attack on social media. The "Black Power Political Organization" posted this:
"#BlackPower! #BlackKnights! Sniper Assassins Take Down Five Police Officers! And More Will Be Assassinated In The Coming Days! Do You Like The Work Of Our Assassins? Get Your Own Sniper Rifle And Join Our Thousands Of Sniper Assassins Worldwide In The Fight Against Oppression!"
