[T]he man who shot six law enforcement officers Sunday in Baton Rouge, Louisiana — killing three — suffered from post-traumatic stress disorder, a source involved in the investigation told CNN’s Chris Cuomo.
\nLong joined the Marine Corps in 2005 and worked as a data network specialist, according to the U.S. military.<\/p>\n
He was discharged at the rank of sergeant in 2010, after serving in Iraq.<\/p>\n
The source also told CNN that [XXXX] had filled a prescription for Ativan, an anti-anxiety drug, as recently as June. He also had prescriptions for Valium and Lunesta.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
Their “source” neglects to mention who prescribed the drugs for the murderer. Or how a data network specialist would have an experience that would cause PTSD. Or why they think that the murderer would kill someone as a result of PTSD, since most people who suffer from PTSD injure themselves rather than other people they don’t know.<\/p>\n
I’m thinking that it’s easy for most former data network specialists to convince a civilian doctor that they have PTSD than a military or VA doctor.<\/p>\n
But, see, if CNN just waves the PTSD flag, that makes it easier for them, the people who don’t understand PTSD, to explain the whole thing to themselves and not blame the murderer for his actions. <\/p>\n
Also, they can blame Bush.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
