Ok so they got eric frein. Murder is the ultimate sin. But why is cop killing any worse? A life is a life. Choose to be a soldier or a cop, assume the risks, expect that bad guys will oppose apprehension. With force. May tactics and firepower be on your side. I know the whole LEO brotherhood thing, but a life is a life. Some jobs look for trouble and find it. Would you shed tears for a bountyhunter or repo man who gets his ass kicked? Cops use deadly force more readily than citizens can. That's the perk, ok? You Get to tase fat ladies. Just sayin. Play the game, pay the price. Let's face it, becoming a CPA probably won't make you a prime enemy of felons. I ride motorcycles. If a driver kills me I want him to suffer worse consequences than if the casualty was in a car. My point is, for he who assumes the way of the warrior, don't whine for the "innocent" who chooses to live and risk a life in harms way. WW1 British pilots who knew they were outgunned by German Fokkers took to the skies anyway, even facing likely death. No whining, only brave service of their great nation and the allied free world. The thug lifestyle exists on both sides of the law. By my age I've met some noble cops and scores of evil ones. Just like other people. It's tragic when a tightrope walker falls, but the risk fuels the reward. No disrespect to fallen LEO & families. nor to murdered citizens & theirs. We all bleed red, whether you wear blue or grey flannel or Carharts.
