Black Lives Matter Activist Shot Breaking Into Police Officer's Home.
Black Lives Matter supporter shot dead by off-duty cop 'after breaking into officer's home following Facebook row'
A Black Lives Matter supporter was shot dead by an off-duty police officer after allegedly breaking into the cop's home following a row on Facebook.
Police said Tyler Gebhard, 20, smashed a window at the officer's home before he was shot in the chest in St Louis, Missouri.
Gebhard, who suffered from bi-polar disorder, was said to have become embroiled in a row with the officer on Facebook over the Black Lives Matter campaign and allegedly made threats towards him and his family.
The incident comes in the wake of the shooting of five police officers at a Black Lives Matter protest in Dallas on Thursday. The demonstration had been organised following the deaths of two black men - Philando Castile and Alton Sterling - shot dead by police last week.
He told the St Louis Post-Dispatch: "He had a lot of mental problems the last few months. A lot of difficulties in life."

Alton Sterling was shot dead at point blank range after officers pinned him down amid claims he had a gun on Tuesday.
Just a day later Mr Castile was shot by a police officer with the local force in Falcon Heights, Minneapolis.
On Friday, self-proclaimed black nationalist Micah Johnson, 25, gunned down five officers during a Black Lives Matter protest in the Texas city on Friday.

He's bipolar... more like unbalanced people making bad choices... or maybe stay off facebook, LOL.
Why did you change "supporter" to "activist" in the title? (I don't think you're supposed to do that, under NT rules, by the way.)
The term "BLM supporter" probably applies to a very high percentage pf Blacks today, and also to quite a few non-Blacks. Whereas "BLM activist" implies participation in the organization of manifestations, etc. Not the same thing.
So... The title should read "supporter", a quasi-synonym for Black, these days. This looks to me to be just another attempt to tar BLM with any and every violence that involves a Black person.
The text reveals the important point: mental illness. Which the original title occults, and your modified title even worse.
If you really believe in something, you shouldn't have to alter the information to make it stand.
As you say, "The hate continues..."
