Tagging this article for ]. The reasons why Micah Xavier Johnson performed such an act has not been discussed in detail in the background section as per sources, but simply glossed-over. In fact, it is left right towards the middle of the article under "perpetrator:motive" (Mr. Johnson's section) and briefly touched on before telling us about his online activities, etc. It is irrelevant whether one believes those reasons are justifications for his act, but those reasons are material to this article in order to give the reader a balanced background of this incident from the start as per our policies. To simply gloss-over them is totally unacceptable for such a sensitive and racially charged incident like this. I would advise that those reasons (see below) are summarised in the lead and detailed in the background section. I have noticed a big difference in how this article is edited compared to the Dylann Roof article - . Unlike Dylann who was a White Neo-Nazi domestic terrorist who wanted to kill Black Americans (even the ones who welcomed him and treated him well) for no other reason other than the fact that they were Black, Micah Xavier Johnson on the hand target White police officers after numerous brutal killings of Black Americans by White police officers which can only be described as "shoot now and cover up later". Not only, that, but those White officers where exonerated by the racist American judicial system, leaving victims' families to pick up the pieces without justice for the brutal killing of their Black children/relatives. This, coupled with the historically and presently racist treatment of America's Black citizens by the dominant White American society are material facts and cannot be glossed-over. I have observed a big difference in the ] article compared to this one. In the Roof article, the reader is groomed from the outset to have sympathy for him, be telling us about his difficult childhood and coming from a broken home etc (see the link to the talk page tread I started in that article). The perpetrator section of the ] (Dylann's section) appears more balanced. It simply provided us the facts. The same cannot be said here. I would also advise that the perpetrator section of this article (Mr Johnson's section) be split into a stand-alone article and titled Micah Xavier Johnson, and that section be summarised with a link to the main ] article and removed as per the Dylann Roof article. I would also advise that Micah's main article be edited in a neutral way as per our policies. Some of the trivial nonsense presented in this article under his section should not be added back to his article as per policy.] (]) 14:20, 30 March 2019 (UTC) |

::The current "Motive Backlash to police brutality,..." is a poor choice. Neither of the encounters described at such length (particularly excessive as the first part of this article) involved actual police brutality. "Anger at police killings of Black men" or similar (see the edit described at the beginning of this section) would be better as it does not adopt an arguable characterization of those events in Misplaced Pages's voice.

{{od}} And those are the facts. So far, you have not debunked what I have stated. I will give you another try to "tell" me or debunk what I've stated. Hate is a strong word. To hate something or someone I must have an emotional investment or connection to it/them, which I don't. I'm indifferent, but that is a topic for another day. Back to the topic! Misplaced Pages has policies in place that we should all abide by, not just the selected few. I have sat here for years and watched numerous American related articles used as POV pushing/propaganda without regard for our policies by some determined editors. Most of our editors come here to make a difference and do great work. However, there are those who have used Wiki for years to advance their racist agenda in-light of the historical and current race related issues in the United states. Many of our American articles especially those relating to race or racism have been infected. This will not be one of them. For your information, I am neither a United States citizen nor do I live in the U.S, but I am well versed in the dark history of that nation especially on matters pertaining to race; its current situation, and how those issues have affected many of our articles. Misplaced Pages is an encyclopedia, not a propaganda tool to be used by certain quarters. I went through this entire article twice and was dumbfounded by what I've read. Some of the key concerns have been raised above. Misplaced Pages has policies in place and we should abide by them.] (]) 09:17, 1 April 2019 (UTC) |

::'''EDIT''' {{ping|VQuakr}} has brought to my attention that it was not them who redacted the comment I was referring to above (see my previous comment). They were right. They neither made that comment nor did they redact it. And for that, I apologise. I have struck through that comment which was right underneath their comment. However, the general advise for anyone redacting their "own" comments as performed here remains the same. I did not create that from the top of my head. That is actually a Misplaced Pages policy that everyone, regardless of what country they come from/their political affiliations must abide by. Plain and simple! I emphasise the word "own" because after going through the edit history after the comment left on my talk page, it has come to my attention that, that remark was made by {{ping|Mysticair667537}} as seen , and edited by the same user. However, instead of Mysticair667537 editing or redacting their own comment, it was edited and redacted by {{ping|EvergreenFir}}. Why would anyone (especially a non-admin) change or redact somebody else's comment? To me, that might be viewed as someone who is ] which is against our policy. I will report this to one of our ] straight away and if there are no merits to the allegation or the edit was a genuine mistake (which is possible), then I take that back and sincerely apologise. However, if this was indeed someone trying to game the system by abusing multiple accounts, then the Checkbusters will take the appropriate action. As far as I can see, the only alternative account that EvergreenFir has disclosed on their userpage is ] — which is different from Mysticair667537. Even if Mysticair667537 was another one of EvergreenFir's alternative accounts (and was disclosed as per policy), it would still be considered ill-advised to use both accounts on the same discussion tread in order to sway decision. I will be reporting this to one of our Checkbusters so that they can investigate, and if there are any merits to this, take the appropriate action against the individual concerned. @VQuakr, I will reply to your last comment separately after this and before I file a report with our Checkbusters.] (]) 05:45, 8 April 2019 (UTC) |

Re : per ] I don't think that this incident really qualifies as a school shooting. Johnson did not set out to kill anyone related to a school, and apart from the standoff on a campus, it has nothing to do with a school. This is stretching the definition of a school shooting as it is too tangential. '''''] <sup>]</sup>''''' 17:41, 9 September 2023 (UTC) |
