Dallas killer Micah Xavier Johnson was kicked out of the army for sexually harassing a female soldier
The 25-year-old former US army private, who killed five cops, also stole women’s knickers
DALLAS cop killer was booted out of Afghanistan for sexually harassing a female soldier by buying her Victoria's Secret underwear and stealing women's knickers.
According to a court filing the victim said she wanted the 25-year-old US army private to “receive mental help” and also sought a protective order to keep him away from her and her family.
Johnson’s former lawyer Bradford Glendening said: “He was generally disliked. It takes a lot for someone to be kicked out of a military combat theatre like that.”
He added: "I could distinctly read in there something about purchasing Victoria's Secret clothing for her.
“I'm sure he created a hostile work environment by being sexually forward with her.”
Glendening said that The Army recommended an 'other than honorable discharge’ – something that is “highly unusual” as counselling is usually ordered before such a drastic step.
He added: “In his case, it was apparently so egregious, it was not just the act itself."
Ex-army colleague Wells Newsome also posted on Facebook: “We all knew he was a pervert cuz he got caught stealing girls’ panties.”
Johnson was ordered to avoid all contact with the woman and was set to be removed from the Army in September 2014 because of the incident.
Instead got an honorable discharge months later, according to Glendening.
He added: “Someone really screwed up. But to my client's benefit.”
Pals said he became more radicalised after leaving the army in 2015.
They say it was on his return from Afghanistan that Johnson fell in with “bad folks and went all Black Panther”.
A friend – who did not want to be named – said: “When he came back from Afghanistan, he got in touch with some bad folks and went all Black Panther.
“He did have some anger issues, but never said he would hurt anyone. His shots were terrible.
“He was absolutely normal, a really good friend. We lost touch once he deployed to Afghanistan and I stayed back. I don't really know how or why it got to the point it did.”
Friend Israel Cooper said Johnson played basketball at a park near his home “for eight hours. Like it was his job”.
Police searching his home in Mesquite found bomb-making kit, rifles, ammunition and a journal indicating a planned attack.
Army Lieutenant Colonel Major Michael Waltz said a video of the attack seemed to show Johnson was 'not only trained, but well trained.'
Cops Patrick Zamarripa, 32, Brent Thompson, 43, Michael Krol, 40, Michael Smith, 55, and Lorne Ahrens, 48, were killed at the Black Lives Matter rally on Thursday.
Johnson – who lived with family in Mesquite, Texas – was killed by police with a remote controlled bomb in the early hours of Friday.
On Facebook he liked black militant groups including the African American Defense League and the New Black Panther Party, which was founded in Dallas.
Pictures show him wearing a dashiki and raising his fist over the words 'Black Power,' and his cover shot carried the red, black and green Pan-African flag.
Protests over black victims of gun cops spread across the US yesterday with trouble in New York and Phoenix, Arizona.
In a rambling post from July 2, Johnson wrote: “Then they all stand around and smile while their picture is taken with a hung, burned and brutalized black person.
“They even go to our homeland and shoot our endangered wildlife for sport.”
A black man was also shot dead in Houston, Texas, after he reportedly pointed a gun at cops.
Extremists urge followers to 'spray pig blood and light the barbeque' hours before Dallas attack
EXTREMISTS supported by Micah X Johnson urged followers to “hold a barbecue and sprinkle pigs’ blood” the day before his attack.
The African American Defense League wanted revenge for the killing of Alton Sterling by cops in Louisiana.
It posted online: “It is time to visit Louisiana and hold a barbecue. The highlight of our occasion will be to sprinkle pigs’ blood!”
Shortly after Johnson killed five cops in Dallas, founder Mauricelm-Lei Millere posted: “We have no alternative!”
He went on: “We must hide in the darkness of the night and kill the white policemen across the country!
“All black personnel are encouraged to take a leave of absence.”
