Has anyone classified the Dallas Shooting as a hate crime?

I haven't seen that phrase used yet, but I may have overlooked it.

I know the litany of gun control chants has already begun but I was just curious if the characterization of it being a hate crime has surfaced yet.

Terrorism
Hate Crime
Politically charged Attack

I haven't seen it described as anything but "a shooting" on most of the media. Terrorism was mentioned a few times.

It will not be, although it clearly is. Hate crimes only get talked about when it is against people of color.

Of course not - Obama teaches that this kind of hate is okay.

I dont really care for the term hate crime. To me every crime is a hate crime. With that said this would fit the bill.

A black guy speaking on CNN called it a hate crime and an act of terrorism.

Did I say it couldn't be?

Dylan Roofs shooting was both a hate crime/terror. This event can be grouped with that. I feel like we're splitting hairs at this point.

I don't care for it either. However I believe you can all see the point I'm trying to prove (and it appears to have been proven by the MSM and the politicians. The point is:

Hate crimes is a prejudiced term. It's only used when it fits an agenda.

Why so defensive? If you believe it can be both, why isolate terrorism in your post? That's why I asked you the question. I have you pegged as a Democrat already, so the fact you choose not to add hate crime as a possibility sticks out a bit.
