In reply to the discussion: Cops have a very dangerous job at times, but let's be clear: [View all]etherealtruth

... and will no longer be tolerated.
Murdering a cop is reprehensible and is not tolerated.
The story (today) of the two cops murdered is horrific .... it was the act of a deranged (evil?) man. My heart breaks for the families of those two officers and all that loved them. sickeningly ...these types of random acts of horror are committed ...against the police and against non-police.
Cops murdering/ using excessive force WILL NO LONGER BE TOLERATED. Murdering COPS WILL NOT BE TOLERATED.
These are not mutually exclusive ideas!
