Police Officers Targeted and Shot in Dallas During Protest On July 7, 2016, Micah Xavier Johnson shoots and kills five police officers at what was a peaceful protest in Dallas, Texas. The officers were there to keep watch over the protest of Alton Sterling’s and Philando Castile’s deaths. Johnson, a 25-year-old African American Afghanistan veteran stated that his goal was to take down as many white officers as he could. When negotiations with Johnson fail, a bomb-equipped robot is sent in and detonates, killing the shooter. Officials believe Johnson had been planning an even larger-scale attack, but was pushed into action because of the shootings in Minnesota and Baton Rouge. Photo source: AP Photo/Tony Gutierrez
