«Breaking News» Officer shot in ambush sues social media giants 'for radicalizing gunman Micah Xavier Johnson'

A police officer shot in an ambush at a Dallas Black Lives Matter protest is suing social media giants including Facebook, Twitter and Google for radicalizing shooter Micah Xavier Johnson.

Jesus Retana, 34, was one of nine cops injured when the 25-year-old Army reservist opened fire in July 2016. Five others were killed in the deadliest attack on U.S. law enforcement since September 11, 2001.

Now Retana, who was shot in the arm, has filed a lawsuit, along with his husband Andrew Moss claiming Hamas was able to use the sites 'as a tool for spreading extremist propaganda' which reached Johnson.

Johnson had no confirmed links to Hamas but Retana's attorney Keith Altman told CBS: 'Hamas' ability to reach into the United States has been greatly enhanced, it's been greatly enhanced by using social media.'

Johnson's activity online suggests he became interested with black militant groups. On Facebook, he identified himself as a black nationalist, and his profile picture showed him wearing a dashiki and holding a clenched first in the air like a Black Panther

Altman added: 'Right now, they are basically doing nothing. They absolutely know that the terrorists are using their sites. This is not the dark web.

'Mentally, he's just not the same person. He has nightmares, sweats. It has a tremendous impact on his life and his husband's. They suffer every single day from what happened.

'If you ask my clients, their goal is no more funerals. No one should lose a loved one or friend to a terrorist attack. And no company should help fund terrorist attacks.'

A similar lawsuit filed by Altman in 2017 for another officer Sgt. Demetrick Pennie was dismissed by a judge.

The judge said the plaintiffs did not 'plausibly allege a connection between Hamas and the Dallas shooting.'

The Star Telegram reports Altman has also represented clients against social networks over the 2015 Paris attack, the Pulse nightclub shooting and the Bastille Day attack in France.

Dallas police officers Patrick Zamarripa, Michael Krol, Lorne Ahrens and Michael J. Smith, as well as DART Officer Brent Thompson were all killed in the massacre.

Johnson's activity online suggest he became interested with black militant groups. On Facebook, he identified himself as a black nationalist, and his profile picture shows him wearing a dashiki and holding a clenched first in the air like a Black Panther.

Johnson 'liked' pages related to the Nation of Islam, the Black Riders Liberation Party, the New Black Panther Party and the African American Defense League.

Facebook and Google did not responded to requests for comment, CBS Dallas reports. Twitter told the network it isn't commenting.

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.

Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
