Dallas sniper who targeted police officers during a Black Lives Matter protest was sent home from Afghanistan after being accused of sexually harassing a female soldier. For six years starting in 2009, he served in the Army Reserve as a private first class with a specialty in carpentry and masonry, the military said.

Isn't six years a long time to be a private?
Yes extremely. Although he may have lost rank from the harassment
Its literally almost impossible. I made Sgt in 4 years. Would have made staff Sgt if I re-upped for another 2 years.
He must have had a shitload of NJPs.
Lets get this straight...
>Obama forces social justice to be a priority in the milirary
>Dallas sniper gets kicked out of military under new social justice regulations
>So angry he goes home and shoots a bunch of cops in in support of social justice
nigs love to ride on the line of mediocrity
It sucks that cops died, but it also serves as a reminder that at anytime, we the people can still put rounds down range.
Yes it is mandatory to be an E4 after 2 years as long as you do not mess up. If you are decent and they have spots you will usually get waivered up as well.
That depends on whether or not the reserves operate similar to the NG. Promotion to E5 and above is based off of slots (NG), not so much points (AD). But he should've at least been an E4. Everyone makes it to E4.

>put rounds down range.
This sounds so cool. I'm going to use this phase on Facebook later today. Thank you.
You don't get out after 6 years as a private without being a serious fuck up.
>specialty in carpentry
Name is JOHNSON, bounced for sexual harassment, carpenter. It's all about The Wood with some people.
Yep.
Thanks, Obama.
Yeah but a lot of whites voted for obama so its still white peoples fault.
He did manage to kill 5 cops with a sniper rifle.
He was pretty good, but probably fucking nuts.
Lol
You consider an SKS a sniper rifle?
How did he learn to become such an operator from pottery class?
lol
im sure its harder to go up in rank when you are in the reserves
CAN'T DISLIKAH THE MICAH
>sniper rifle
I haven't researched what gun he used. Literally every media outlet is calling him a sniper. In a way, that's exactly what he did. He murdered people from a distance using a rifle.
He was a sniper, and it's almost irrelevant what gun he used to kill people with. It doesn't matter if he killed them with a 9mm pistol.
The word sniper was used correctly.

>masonry
Freemasons confirmed for starting racewar.
A typical semi-automatic rifle like the SKS he used is usually capable of between 3-6 minute of angle (MOA) (1-2 mrad) accuracy. A sniper rifle by definition must be capable of >3 MOA (0.3-1 mrad) accuracy.
An SKS is NOT a Sniper rifle.
Honestly the SKS seems more believable as a long distance weapon compared to the average AR.
Although based on the video of him faking and flanking that one officer the media doesn't know what the fuck they're talking about. Shock of all shocks.
I was skeptical of the sniper narrative from the beginning, it's just a term that most people know and it sounds very scary.
I think of the SKS as a knockoff AK. I have one and it's fun to shoot and the ammo is cheap enough. But you're absolutely right-I wouldn't hunt with it.
sorry meant
I have an SKS and putting sights on one would be pretty much useless. It is quite versatile if you have a magazine adapter for 40 rounds, but you can place slam and pull a 10 bullet stripper clip in a few seconds. It also will blow a hole in you way bigger than a AR-15 will.
>accused of sexually harassing a female soldier.
Will this female step up?
Will the media track her down for comments?
Military protocol, CAN she comment on it?
E-3 after 6 years = goes to shooter's motive and profile/character. Must've been busted down in rank or is typical idiot product of our newer, better education system.
I was E-4 in 90 days, so pretty much anyone can do it. I was a walking ding dong. Not sure what that makes this genius?
A sniper shoots from an unseen place.
He was a sniper even without a rifle.
He was busted down rank or was a real shithead.
Autism
Not really, he sniped, but the SKS is not a sniper rifle
Nah, just someone who has experience with proper sniper rifles and can tell the difference between a sniper and someone who initiates an ambush from an elevated position.
Big surprise the shooter used an SKS-15. We need to ban these weapons of mass destruction.
>masonry
I wonder what was he going to say in the court if police didn't kill him.
He could shake the public opinion even more.
So a worthless piece of shit through and through.
Dallas has the best snipers.
>things i actutally know nothing about seem like things that they aren't
he fucking fired off dozens of shots and didn't conceal his location at all, to include firing on the move.
it was an ambush. snipers don't even fire a shot more than half the time they're doing their job.
True, he probably would've revealed the secret to perfect bricklaying to the people if he were left alive to testify.
hmm
