Huh, this editor remembers this incident very well considering it was just a month after she had started writing for Twitchy. And gosh, golly, gee, the gunman’s veteran status was not key or in any way related to his shooting of officers monitoring a peaceful protest in Dallas.
Seems NPR has left out a few important details ...
NPR ~ Five years ago, a veteran shot Dallas police officers monitoring a peaceful protest march in Dallas, killing five. Since then the city has struggled to retain officers, while activists say their relationship with the department has gotten worse. @[KERA]

Referring to the gunman as a veteran and deliberately leaving out some BIG details ... typical.
Basically, all they’re really doing here is perpetuating the idea that veterans are dangerous while completely ignoring the reality of who the gunman REALLY was.
Erik Soderstrom ~ Y’all really went with “veteran” as the defining characteristic of a black supremacist racist who ambushed police and was specifically targeting white officers.
Yeah, those details seem important for some reason.
A New Radical Centrism ~ NPR description: "A veteran."
More accurate description: The shooter was a BLM supporter who had an interest in black nationalism, the Black Panther Party, and the Nation of Islam, and who had told others that he wanted "to kill white people."
Yeah, the part about ‘wanting to kill white people’ jumps out at us.
Otis Houston ~ In deciding which pertinent details to include as context about the killer, I’d think his own stated motivation would come well before his veteran status.
Yuuuuuuup.
Almost like NPR has an agenda here.
Hrm.
Joshua Adkison ~ I feel as though you're leaving out some critical, need to know information for some reason.
The essential American soul is hard, isolate, stoic, and a killer. It has never yet melted. ~ D.H. Lawrence
