What is silly about signaling virtue?  Who is opposed to virtuous behavior and expression? 

 

 

There is a difference between virtuous behavior and virtue signaling.

Seems to me that BLM has a healthy hatred of cops.

So idolizing a cop killer and going out and ambushing a few police officers in Dallas does not look like hate?

Did BLM do this?

Motive[edit]

Chief Brown said that Johnson, who was black, was upset about recent police shootings and the Black Lives Matter movement, and "stated he wanted to kill white people, especially white officers."^[6][7] A friend and former coworker of Johnson's described him as "always [being] distrustful of the police."^[63] Another former coworker said he seemed "very affected" by recent police shootings of black men.^[66] A friend said that Johnson had anger management problems and would repeatedly watch video of the 1991 beating of Rodney King by police officers.^[87]

Investigators found no ties between Johnson and international terrorist or domestic extremist groups.^[68]

An investigation into his online activities uncovered his interest in black nationalist groups.^[77] The Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) and news outlets reported that Johnson "liked" the Facebook pages of black nationalist organizations such as the New Black Panther Party (NBPP), Nation of Islam, and Black Riders Liberation Army, three groups which are listed by the SPLC as hate groups.^[88] On Facebook, Johnson posted an angry and "disjointed" post against white people on July 2, several days before the attack.^[89]

NBPP head Quanell X said after the shooting that Johnson had been a member of the NBPP's Houston chapter for about six months, several years before.^[90] Quanell X added that Johnson had been "asked to leave" the group for violating the organization's "chain of command" and espousing dangerous rhetoric, such as asking the NBPP why they had not purchased more weapons and ammunition, and expressing his desire to harm black church preachers because he believed they were more interested in money than God.^[91][92][93] Following the shooting, a national NBPP leader distanced the group from Johnson, saying that he "was not a member of" the party.^[92]

Johnson also "liked" the Facebook page of the African American Defense League, whose leader, Mauricelm-Lei Millere, called for the murders of police officers across the U.S. following the fatal 2014 shooting of Laquan McDonald.^[77][92]In response to the police killing of Alton Sterling, the organization had "posted a message earlier in the week encouraging violence against police".^[78]

Johnson's Facebook profile photo depicted Johnson raising his arm in a Black Power salute, along with images of a Black Power symbol and a flag associated with the Pan-Africanism movement.^[77][89] These symbols have long represented nonviolent black empowerment, "but have also been co-opted by extremist groups with racist views."^[77]

Conversely, people familiar with Johnson during his military service believed he may have been severely stressed with serving in a combat zone. They also said he had little interest in the topics of racial injustice and the shooting of Trayvon Martin that occurred at the time.^[66] In an interview, Johnson's parents said that he was once extroverted and patriotic, and wanted to become a police officer. Following his discharge from the Army, they described him as disillusioned, reclusive, and resentful of the U.S. government; and believed he had been disappointed by his experience in the military.^[79][94] According to a soldier, Johnson had a small breakdown after he began losing his friends in the Army after details of the sexual harassment accusation were released.^[86]

 

Sounds like he wanted to shoot a lot of folk, and that he needed more help. 

Intersting footnote  SPLC does call out black nationalists groups as hate groups.

I wonder when they are going to condemn Muslim extremist,  which have many 10s of millions more members and poses a grave threat to world peace, not to mention espouse genocide to non Muslims in many cases. 

 

Sorry now back to the several hundred pathetic white wing nuts that pose a bigger threat to dental health and mullet hair cuts, than to anything elsr.
