Dallas Gunman Learned Tactics at Texas Self-Defense School

By REESE DUNKLIN AND NOMAAN MERCHANT, ASSOCIATED PRESS DALLAS — Jul 9, 2016, 8:03 PM ET

The gunman who killed five police officers at a protest march received training from a private self-defense school in Texas, a school official said Saturday at the academy that teaches firearm tactics, including "shooting on the move," a maneuver in which an attacker fires and changes position before firing again.

Micah Johnson, an Army veteran, received instruction at the Academy of Combative Warrior Arts in the Dallas suburb of Richardson about two years ago, a person who said he was in charge of the organization told The Associated Press. The man refused to answer additional questions and would not give his name.

The man's statement was corroborated by a police report from May 8, 2015, when someone at a business a short distance away called in a report of several suspicious people in a parked SUV.

The investigating officer closed the case just minutes after arriving at the scene in a parking lot behind a strip mall. While there, the officer spoke to Johnson, who said he "had just gotten out of a class at a nearby self-defense school."

1. Wow, why are those places even legal?

And, why doesn't the FBI keep a closer watch on the kind of person that would go to one of those places?

[HereSince1628]

2. How would the FBI have any idea on who attends those places?

And how would the FBI know that the place was one of those places?

3. Learn the same at paintball ranges

Should those be outlawed too?

[Renew Deal]

4. I wonder if a place like that is used by Blackwater mercenary type organizations

5. There are secret gun ranges and stores all over the country. I thought everyone knew this.

Hell I'm black and I think I have a pretty good idea where the KKK have a gun range set up.

8. You guys really believe that the world really is as it seems. There's all kinds of

crazy shit going on all over this country. Black ops spots, militia training camps, black markets for weapons and drugs. The Feds know but alot of the local law enforcement is being infiltrated by white supremacist groups. They've been training for the race war since the 60's. You think it's a coincidence that oath keepers pop up at certain black protests? Nope somebody is feeding them information.

6. Gun fuckery feeds domestic terrorism. nt

7. Academy of Combative Warrior Arts? Sorry sounds like a school for men with a small penis.

Why would anyone need this training???

9. This school

Is probably the type of school that the Bundy Ranch idiots get trained at. Which reminds me of how hypocritical conservatives are:

When the Bundy idiots were having their standoff against law enforcement they were considered patriots standing up against tyranny.

But when the Black lives matters movement protest against police tyranny the same crowd defends police actions

10. By Golly, the gunners here scoff when you mention thoe combative, urban warfare schools.

George Zimmerman was a honor graduate of one of those schools that teach you when you can shoot someone, how to do it, and what to say to police afterwards.

11. Self-esteem school for small-dicked white trash Chris Kyle groupies

12. the Pulse shooter also spent time at an Army "contractor"
