Dallas Shooter White Nationalist? Name, Photo Released? No — He Wasn’t Black Lives Matter Member Either


Mayor Mike Rawlings gave a press conference on Friday, July 8. Along with Chief David Brown of the Dallas Police Department, the duo spoke about the heartbreaking tragic shootings in Dallas on Thursday, July 7. Although reports have emerged that stated the Dallas shooting suspect was a white nationalist or a member of the Black Lives Matter group, Chief Brown was quick to contradict those thoughts.

As seen in the above photo, a Dallas police vehicle can be seen with what appear to be red blood stains below the door. The police vehicle was taken away from the Baylor University Medical Center emergency room on Friday, July 8, in Dallas.

“The suspect stated that he was not affiliated with any groups and that he did this alone. The suspect told police that the end is coming and that there are bombs all over this garage.”

Chief Brown also stated that it was not true that the suspect killed himself. Chief Brown asked for prayers for the trying times — he also let the public know some of the thoughts that the shooting suspect expressed prior to being killed. Police tried to negotiate with the shooting suspect prior to his death, but those negotiations broke down.

“He wanted to kill white people. He expressed anger for Black Lives Matter. None of that makes sense. None of that would be a reason for killing anyone.”

Chief Brown related that the Dallas shooting suspect was angered about the Black Lives Matter movement and the recent shootings at the hands of police. With Chief Brown stating that the shooting suspect was upset with white people, it leads the public to suspect what the race of the shooter might be. However, reports that have leaked online that the Dallas shooter was a white nationalist have not been confirmed by police. The Dallas police ambush was also not conducted by a member of the Black Lives Matter movement, according to authorities, which seem to pit the Dallas shooter as a lone wolf shooter acting alone.

“The suspect was upset about Black Lives Matter and the recent police shootings. He was upset at white people. He wanted to kill white people, especially white officers.”

The Dallas shooter warned police that they would “eventually find the IEDs” — a statement that made police think that the Dallas shooter or shooters had planted improvised explosive devices or some sort of homemade bombs around downtown Dallas.

Chief Brown is making strategic decisions and would not name the dead shooting suspect, nor would he confirm to the press how many suspects were involved in the Dallas shooting. With a question of there possibly being four shooting suspects in Dallas, Chief Brown said he would not confirm that number and would keep the suspects guessing as to what the police know.

The Dallas shooter was not affiliated with any groups, reiterated Dallas police.

“He did this alone.”

Chief Brown called police officers guardians of “this great democracy,” a role that puts the lives of police officers on the line. The officers in Dallas were doing all they had to do to protect the peaceful protest in Dallas before the “coward,” as Chief Brown called the Dallas shooter, ambushed police officers unexpectedly.

The Dallas shooting suspect was killed with remote explosive devices used by the Dallas police after negotiations with the Dallas shooter broke down. Police tried to negotiate for several hours with the Dallas shooting suspect before placing an explosive device on their robot and detonating it in the location of the Dallas shooting suspect. Any other options of trying to take down the Dallas shooting suspect would have exposed Dallas police officers to more harm, said Chief Brown, who praised the hostage negotiator.
