Put down. Interesting choice of phrase.

  Interesting that my phrasing is the only thing you seem to have issue with. I assume you agree with my general analysis of the unions effect on Britain?

    Why interesting? I simply decided to call you out for calling for the murder of union members. It was before I was born and I don’t have much of an opinion. I do have a very strong opinion that nobody should advocate the murdering of union members, though.

      None of the 11 definitions offered by google mention the murder of people, maybe your confused? The closest answer is the 3rd: put down phrasal verb of put 3) suppress a rebellion, coup, or riot by force. "the security forces put down a coup attempt in the capital"

        https://en.wiktionary.org/w/index.php?title=put_down&oldid=63914349 https://en.wiktionary.org/w/index.php?title=put_down&oldid=6... 4th definition: (euphemistic) To euthanize (an animal). I'd say it's not out of question that this could be applied to people as well.
