In the Line of Duty

[Pyrrho]

Emphasis is added:

I fully recognize that the system is the problem.  All I am saying is that every time a good police officer gets injured or killed while doing his/her job, that is definitely going to discourage those who would join the force.  Imagine our nation with no law enforcement.  People who are doing their jobs correctly are getting murdered for the actions of the few who abuse their badge.  It sickens me.

The police force needs change, yes…but not this kind of change.

That is the natural result of cops not being held accountable for their actions.  When the system fails, people take matters into their own hands.  It would greatly reduce the number of cops being murdered if the bad cops were held accountable for their actions.  Until that is done, everyone should expect people to be killing cops, out of anger and frustration, as well as fear of what the cop might unjustly do to one.  If cops are murderous thugs, you better kill them before they kill you.  The solution to the problem is to hold cops accountable for their actions, and convict the murderous ones of murder and put them in prison or execute them.  Until police are punished for abusing their authority, cops will continue to be murdered because of it.
