Suspects are taken into custody. Lets go straight to adam shapiro with the latest on the developing story. Reporter we go to the suspect that has been identified, department of justice verified, micah xavier johnson. We have a photograph of them. Served in the u. S. Arm reserves. His home of record was in mesquite, texas. Served roughly, 2009 through ape 2015. Rose to rank of private first class by 2010. He was in car pentry and masonry branch. Was according, to dod was not a trained sniper. He served in afghanistan, november 2013 through july 2014. That is what we know about his past. What we know about what happened with him last night comes from the chief of police in dallas. David browne actually talked about the negotiations that his officers had with had man, micah johnson, while he was holed up inside after parking garage. At 2 30 in the morning they sent in a robot with a explosive talk him out, according to police chief. They detonated it because they determined he was too great of a threat to Police Officers. That subsequent detonation cost him his life. This is what chief brown said in his own words what mica johnson was up to. Take a listen. The suspect said he was upset about block lives matter. He said black lives matter. He was up sent about the recent police shootings. The suspect said he was upset at white people. The suspect stated he wanted to kill white people, especially white officers. Reporter now as you can see there is video from the tv stations in texas. The home that was registered as his address in texas, in mesquite, texas, they are searching that home and this is because there are remember three other suspects. Two men, one woman who are in custody and the police chief just about 40 minutes ago said through the investigation some of the suspects, it was revealed to us, that this was a wellplanned, these are the Police Chiefs words, this was a wellplanned, wellthought out, evil tragedy by these suspects. We wont rest until we bring everyone involved to justice. At no point the police said they have everyone they think involved in custody. It is possible there are still others at large. Cheryl . Cheryl larger story to cover as well today, adam, thank you very much. Adam shapiro in our newsroom. As he talked about that authorities continue to search for answer but attorney general Loretta Lynch is calling for peace and call, telling americans violence is not the answer. Americans across our country are feeling a sense of helplessness, of uncertainty and a fear. These feelings are understandable and they are justified, but the answer must not be violence. The answer, our answer, all our answer, must be action. Calm, peaceful, collaborative and determined action. Cheryl joining me now, former nypd Police Officer and ceo of pat brosnan. And an attorney with me, author of, when cops kill, lance la russo. Lance, youre a former nypd detective, how do you feel on day like today, violence against our nations Law Enforcement official . S. Cheryl, im devastated number one, a really, really dark day, but im also saddened, our leaders, governor of minnesota, governor of louisiana, and others including obama, Loretta Lynchs boss, have not learned anything at all from the lessons of december 20th, 2014, when officers when gin liu and rafael ramos were slurredded in their radio car in brooklyn. They didnt take away anything from it. They didnt learn that rhetoric has consequences. Poisonous, violent rhetoric has consequences there. Is nothing more powerful than words, the words they expounded, the words they put out after tragic shootings in baton rouge and minnesota, convicting those officers is one thing, but they empowered and embowlenned the bad guys, at same time diminishing and declawing Law Enforcement. When that happens, you have five officers slaughtered, seven wounded and two civilians seriously wounded. It is a very, very dark day. Cheryl tell you what, lance, he mentioned Loretta Lynch. I want to play you Something Else she said, with we talked about what is so striking, these people, these cops were out there protecting protesters in black lives matter protest. Those who seek to improve our country through peaceful protest and protected speech i want to let you know your voice is important. Do not be discouraged by those who use unlawful actions as cover for their heinous violence. We will continue to safeguard your constitutional rights. Cheryl lance, the sniper told authorities before he was killed that he was upset, sympathetic to black lives matter. He was upset by what he was seeing. Wanted to kill not just cops but white cops. Pats correct about the vial rhetoric. I would like to shake his hand. You will find Law Enforcement officers across the country have something in common. He can remember i can the days we lost officers in my fto and his recruit were shot. This should really bring to the forefront Something Else, nobody is talking about this. We heard much of the debate from administration and other Public Officials guardians versus warriors. Warriors run into gunfire to protect strangers. Guardians draw chalk lines after all done. All the dallas Police Officers were warriors. That exactly what they needed to be. God help us if they stop being in that role. Cheryl pat, i was looking at, we were talking earlier about many so of the victims. We have two names here. Officer patrick zamarpa, two children, veteran of this country, a hero. What mattered most to him, god, country, family and state of texas. This is someone who lost his life. Doing what he loved and passionate to do, when were in day and age, cops are afraid, they have to be afraid, pat, what theyre seeing out there, this war waging against them and being waged against them . Absolutely. The viral rhetoric we mentioned earlier, lance, i couldnt agree more, it shifted on this landscape, the entire landscape 180 degrees, the emboldenment of bad guy and diminishment of authority of the good guys. What that happens, cheryl reference as great guy, there are always great guys, the guys come running into the fire, go in the wrong direction ostensibly while everyone is taking on off but reality its a dark, dark horrible day. That is the whole thrust of it. If the limousine liberals want to continue to perpetuate the big lie, the big lie being that police are murdering illegally and unjustifiably black youths across america well continue to have days like this. Please, rhetoric, shut your pie hole if you have nothing good to say. Cheryl lance you talk about that as well in your book. You say, that the rhetoric, that the words, these words are harming because theyre inspiring this type of violence in our nation. They are. You know, when cops kill i talk, i interviewed officers who had been shot, officers who had taken a life, people are forgetting a lot of the byproduct of wanting all these videos out. Lawful use of force, selfdefense, officer using deadly force, it is not going to look good on video. Ive seen baton rouge video at half speed, seen it at one quarter speed, i can tell you unless something comes up you cant see on video, that was probably justifiable use of deadly force. Instead of saying were going to stop, were going to look, were going to wait, the investigation will probably sake six months. The toxicology on the suspect is going to probably take six weeks to eight weeks. So people want quick answers from the video but they want a thorough investigation. Quick answers and thorough investigation are two parallel goals that will never coincide. Cheryl the videos that weve seen, we were just showing that video of baton rouge, louisiana, they create a lot of emotion, and then we end up on a day like today covering a horrific story like this. Pat, thank you so much. Thank you for your service to our country, appreciate it. Thank you for having me. Another big story today, switch gears, little bit of a turn, well turn to the markets for just a moment. We had the jobs report came out today, came better than expected. Stock market is rally on the news. Equities recovering steep losses in the wake of the british vote to get out of the european union. That number was 18,011. Were up 228 on the heels of the job report. Coming up, well continue to cover breaking news out of dallas. Is there a war on cops . My next guest, worldrenown scholar, Heather Mcdonald argues there is a war on cops and making each and everyone of us less safe. She will explain, coming up next. There she is. The suspect said he was upset about black lives matter. Hehe said, it he was upset about the recent police shootings. The suspect said he was upset at white people. The suspect stated he wanted to kill white people, especially white officers. Cheryl that was within the last hour, at a press conference out of dallas. That was Dallas Police chief david brown revealing the now dead gunmans motive for killing five Police Officers and injuring seven in calculated attack. Police departments are ramping up security measures to protect their own in the wake of the deadliest attack on police since 9 11. Here in new york city, we just had Police Commissioner bill bratton in the last hour saying they are ramping up security. Happening in washington, d. C. And philadelphia, all ordering officers to patrol and take breaks in pairs. How at risk are Police Officers . Heather mcdonald, a fellow at the manhattan institute, the author of the war on cops. Heather, welcome. The timing of release of your book incredulous, this morning, this afternoon. Sad. Cheryl one of the things we talked about was the videos. In the baton rouge video, you see police, they have got their body cameras on them and theyre dislodged. If theyre giving doing something against the law, excessive force, wearing body cameras, explain to me what is in the minds of these officers if this is happening . Officers are not trying to kill anybody. They are trying to protect the public. They got a call in this case of a man with a gun threatening somebody. And they are trying to make horrible splitsecond decisions about whether they are facing an armed felon that can put their lives or somebody elses lives at risk. I can tell you one thing theyre not thinking about, cheryl, it is race. In fact, there was a study that came out this year, most sophisticated study to date, shoot, dont shoot, that decisions officers make, now officers take longer to decide to shoot an armed black suspect than an armed white suspect, and theyre less likely to shoot an unarmed black suspect than an unarmed suspect. So the black lives matter narrative is a lie and it is a dangerous one because it is leading to a degree of hatred against cops that now has bubbled over into a second assassination after the assassination of when, officers, wenjian liu and rafael ramos in new york city of december of 2014 but theyre experiencing hatred on the streets every single day. Cheryl there are many out there say, they have said it today, there is a war on the black community by Police Officers. That is simply not true. The, there is no Government Agency more dedicated to saving black lives than the proposition that black lives matter, than the police. Tens of thousands of minority males are alive today thanks to proactive policing. In fact, a much larger proportion of white and hispanic homicide victims are killed by Police Officers than black homicide victims. Fully 12 of all white and hispanic homicide victims are killed by the cops. 4 of black homicide victims are killed by the cops. Cheryl now you also talk in the book, there is a section called, hand cuffing the cops. You say that theyre being held back from doing their true duty . That they cant do their jobs effectively. Why is that . Well, you have lawsuits against them brought by both the Obama Justice department and the aclu, claiming that when officers engage in proactive policing in highcrime areas, that they are somehow engaged in racially biased policing. Again that is not true, cheryl. Cops are going where people are being victimized. Given the high rates of both criminal victimization and the fending in minority communities they can not save lives without disparate stop and arrest data. Cheryl heather, i want to say the book is, the war on cops. I would encourage anybody to pick up a copy. Its a fascinating book. Heather mcdonald, thank you very much. Appreciate it. Well, coming up the political fallout over the sniper attacks in dallas. Democrats are calling for increased gun control. That started this morning. And then both Hillary Clinton and donald trump have canceled Campaign Appearances today. Well have the latest coming up. You stay up. You listen. You laugh. You worry. You do whatever it takes to take care of your family. And when its time to plan for your familys future, were here for you. Were legalzoom, and for over 10 years weve helped families just like yours with wills and living trusts. So when youre ready, start with us. Doing the right thing has never been easier. Legalzoom. Legal help is here. Cheryl the deadly attack on Dallas Police impacting the campaign trail. Hillary clinton and donald trump canceling events today. Clinton had been scheduled to appear for the fst time with Vice President joe biden, while trump was set to give policy speech this hour in miami. Blake burman with more on the political fallout of shootings that happened overnight. Blake . Reporter thats right, heather. Hillary clinton and donald trump canceled their official campaign events. Trump issued a formal statement this morning which concluded by saying, am and i am quoting this is time for strong leadership and love and compassion. We will pull through these tragedy, trump says. Clinton response came via twitter earlier this morning. She wrote and i am quoting here, i mourn for the officers shot while doing their sacred duty to protect peaceful protesters, for their families and all who serve with them. Here in washington on the house floor both republican and Democratic Leaders cald r let our anger harden our divisions. Lets not let that happen. There is going to be a temptation to let our anger send us further into our corners. Lets not let that happen. Episodes like this must not harden our divisions, but should unify us as a country. We are all horrified by this despicable act of violence and we share in the shock and grief. Reporter cheryl, back to clinton for a second. She is still scheduled to speak at the African Methodist Episcopal Church convention in philadelphia. She is scheduled to speak. A Campaign Aide says she will address the recent shootings. I had seen she hadnt canceled everything, blake. I think that is very interesting. Blake burman out of washington. I want to stay on the topic a moment. I want to bring in republican strategist, Ford Oconnell and progressive radio show host chris hauge. I want to bring on the issue of Hillary Clinton and she has been in vocal support of black lives Matter Movement. Does this put her in awkward position today . No. Look, a lot of people are very concerned for what happened with the police and you see what people who are very concerned over the two shootings incidents over last couple days. I dont think you have to be concerned for one over the other. I think you can share the grief that are held in both cases. I dont think black lives Matter Movement necessarily is an antipolice movement. It is prosupporting recognition that black lives do matter in america and that black lives are somehow often, not by everyone, treated as less than in our society. I think Hillary Clinton is right to stay at this event today. Chris, i have to Say Something here. The thing is that Hillary Clinton basically, her statement was a tweet. Here is why its a tweet. Lets talk about this awful tragedy. Now lets talk about the politics of it. She is tethered to president obama and black vote. If they dont turn out for her she loses. He is he had had of the party. He is the chief spokesman. She doesnt want to get caught crosswise with him. Basically said hey, i mourn for the police but doesnt want to get cross lives with black lives matter or police or basically barack obama is her shepherd on this issue. Cheryl i have to say, gentlemen, the president has in the past been very supportive, making this political issue along with the topic of gun control. He did speak from poland, from warsaw this morning. I want you to listen to what he had to say. In particular, listen to the tone of the president , guys. I believe that i speak for every single american when i say that we are horrified over these events, and that we stand united with the people and, the Police Department in dallas. We will learn more undoubtedly about their twisted motivations, but lets be clear, there is no possible justification for these kinds of attacks, or any violence against Law Enforcement. Anyone involved in these senseless murders will be held fully accountable, justice will be done. Cheryl you know, ford, i have to say the president was very measured i thought this morning in his reaction. I think that is exactly the right reaction. The president is spot on but what you missed the rest of the clip is, he had then jumped to gun control. It in his dna never let a crisis go to waste even one as horrible as this one. He wants to strike while wire is hot and be measured but the left wants to ban all guns no matter what. Cheryl chris that is hot stoppic. Political topic, an Election Year topic. Of course, we do need to talk about gun control i want to ask this question to the world. Where is the nra out there educating Police Officers tha
