34. Victims no, Causalities of a war that has been going on for decades, yes

We don't refers to military personnel killed in Iraq or Afghanistan as victims so why do cops get/deserve the victim moniker?

The fact is the Police serve to protect the 1% and part of that protection includes keeping the poor and minorities in their proper place in society and keeping the private prisons full. To keep the prisons full the police are not going to arrest the real criminals say for example the Koch Brothers, but instead go after the low hanging fruit.

Since the 1960's America's Police Forces have become more and more militarized always going after the low hanging fruit and the defenseless, yesterdays shooting is just blow back and frankly we are going to see a bunch more of it too.

On one level I really don't care but as a tax payer I don't like having to pay for expensive cop funerals either. What is the solution? IDK there will not be just one answer or solution but the start of the solution is that the cops need to change first and stop acting like thugs.

From where I am sitting and also sticking my finger up to test the winds is that unless cops in America change and change fast, there are going to be more dead cops due to blow back.

The cops and the 1% created the situation we are in today and if they over react which they always do, will only result in more dead cops.
