On July 7,
2016, 25-year-old Micah Johnson, an African American, drove his car to a rally
against police violence and then began killing officers in downtown Dallas,
hoping to single out the white one (Fausset, Fernandez, & Blinder, 2016).
He brought the war back home and killed a fellow military veteran (Fausset, at
al., 2016). Mr. Johnson continued training after the Army reserve by conducting
military-style exercises in his backyard and he joined a gym that offered
martial arts and weapons classes (Fausset, et al., 2016). Mr. Johnson showed an
affinity for radical black-power organizations on his Facebook page (Fausset,
et al., 2016).
Racial
stereotypes contributed to this because he was a black male only shooting white
people. He wanted all the white cops to die. He was upset that a lot of white
cops were shooting black people and he thought this was a way to get revenge.
One strategy that
might reduce stereotypes is problem-oriented policing (POP) (Black & Kari,
2010). POP helps police focus their attention and resources on the causes of
crime rather than the crimes themselves (Black & Kari, 2010). POP is
believed to reduce tension in multicultural communities and improve relations
between police and minorities (Black & Kari, 2010). Police officers need to
focus on the crimes and not what color the person was that committed the crime.

communities: Do gender and minority status make a difference? Journal of
