Painting all military vets with the broad stroke of guilt
I'm quite certain your exaggeration is a work of fiction.
I saw no broadbrushing "all military vets".

OK, change the title of the thread and see if you see outrage......
Instead of, "Military Veterans Shot Those Police Officers"
Change it to the equally factual "Black Men Shot those Police Officers"
Are you about to start a KKK rant because all Blacks get broad brushed with that statement? If so I win you lose the argument.

You're argument holds an element of truth, but is flawed.
They were BLM supporters who happened to be military veterans which gave the the skills necessary to pull off a police shooting on behalf of BLM.
I don't believe Gavin Long had any connection to BLM whatsoever, and the Dallas shooter was sympathetic to their cause, but not part of it.
Do you have any evidence to the contrary?

It would be equally factual but much more vague.
The rest of your post I have no idea what you're on about honestly.
Calm your tits I do not come here to "win" and neither should you, you're a grown man.
State your opinion and move on to the next one.

Why would we assume they were sympathizers? Because of the color of their skin?
Because BLM supporter's and leader's rhetoric calls for dead cops? You think its just a coincidence that they call for violence against cops and then violence against cops happens at BLM rallies?
Oh nice, I posted videos of BLM rallies calling for dead cops was removed as "off topic" in a thread about the relationship between dead cops and BLM.
Evidence of BLM support on the moderation staff. They don't openly come out and state it but their actions define their position crystal clear, just like these shooters all did their cop killing actions at BLM rallies where they always chant kill cops kill whitey.
Yeah blame the Mods instead of Bulk's off topic derailment.
He was trying to remould the purpose of the thread as he often does.
blaming the Mods.
The military does not supply the sort of content that convinces one to harm police officers

This is an important aspect, but I fear that some will jump to demonize our veterans in the same fashion the Right Wing has so easily demonized BLM.
The most important thing we need to remember is that it was individuals that killed those officers. Not veterans. Not BLM.

The thread Title claims it has nothing to do with BLM, I was providing proof that it does have to do with BLM. How is that off topic?

I have to ask. . .
So what if it's veterans that have committed these crimes?
What are you going to do?
Lock us all up?

This thread is absolutely disgusting.
Seriously trying to slur military veterans.
Neither Micah Johnson or Gavin Long suffered 'PTSD'.
Military Veterans Shot Those Police Officers NOT BLM
