This is completely retarded. The cops can't afford a pushback on the citizenry. They've already given themselves a shitty name by their actions dealing with citizens. The way this shooting went down makes me think the shooter knew the victim.
What you're not comprehending Ben, is that the cops have the upper hand. They represent an institution that is still highly regarded in this country. Individual officers may be despised but LE is not. This officer may or may not have been targeted for personal reasons. But some thug just executed a LEO in full uniform. You don't think that's a direct affront to EVERY LEO? Your naïve as a child. And if you don't believe that this type of event, like the murder of our LSP trooper last week, will make the cops more aggressive and defensive you're fooling yourself. Moreover, this will only garner support for LE when they do toughen their stance.
And even if he wasn't a uniform patrolmen, he's still on the job. I think that will make matters for worse than if he'd have been killed while off duty. JMO.

White officer killed - 1 day of news coverage max
Black male killed - equivalent to a state of the Union address

You shouldn't be calling anybody naive. You don't even seem to understand what's been causing the violence directed towards the cops to begin with.
