If this was PTSD related then wouldn't White veterans be mass murdering cops too?

That's a loaded question and as they say (don't feed the trolls) shouldn't even be addressed.
What kind of logic is that? Say that out loud and hear the nonsense in your "statement."

The symptoms of PTSD should be the same for everyone correct? There is a clear motive to why these Officers were targeted, and it has nothing to do with PTSD. Point being, BLM played a big part in it.
Visit any VA hospital across the country and you’ll see what I mean. What’s the first thing you see when you walk in? A metal detector with an armed VA police officer standing nearby.

PTSD doesn't cause violence, but it sure can contribute to it.
This is a good read, written by an Iraq war veteran.
War is Hell, and the Hell Rubs Off
This is his closing thought:

ETA: No one in this thread is slurring our veterans, at least the way I understood the posts. Just recognizing that PTSD is real, and that these soldiers need all the help this nation can give.

Their motivation is not that clear, otherwise you could prove it.

Oh please... Their motive was perfectly clear. They were sick and tired of the "illusion" that the police just loveeeee to target and kill minorities for no reason whatsoever...

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 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?
Well now, let's see...
You can only link those two things in your mind, as is your right to do so...
When you bring it to the forum and use it as evidence with no paper trail of direct link to the two shootings you run the risk of derailing the topic.
You're providing flimsy evidence, not proof.
Hence the post removal.
Trust me, plenty of times I thought I was on topic and have had posts removed.
Looking back I now understand, even if I complained at the time.

Prove that motivation.
Otherwise you are just talking out of your ass.
The gunman who fatally shot five police officers near a protest Thursday night in Dallas said he was motivated by the Black Lives Matter movement, "wanted to kill white people" and had planted explosives around the city, authorities revealed Friday. The suspect — who CBS and the Los Angeles Times identified as 25-year-old Micah X. Johnson — acted alone and was not affiliated with any extremist group.
"He wanted to kill officers, and he expressed killing white people. He expressed killing white officers.
Records released by the military Sunday show that Long served five years in the Marine Corps as a data network specialist, from August 2005 to August 2010
said he was motivated by the Black Lives Matter movement
During the standoff, Mr. Johnson, who was black, told police negotiators that “he was upset about Black Lives Matter,” Chief Brown said.

Where is the proof of that motivation?
