cognitive dissonance raging. To wit, one of the deceased NYPD cops is Asian (Liu) and the other is Latino (Ramos). BUT the alleged shooter is black. So does hatred of 'black' trump anti-Asian and anti-Latino racism or vice versa? That's aside from the cognitive dissonance baked in to cop as legitimate enforcer of law (NYPD is municipal so OK) vs. cop as illegitimate representative of tyranny (BLM officers are federal so not OK).

My suspicion is that the cognitive dissonance (basically, psychic anxiety produced by holding 2 or more contradictory positions) gets resolved (basically lessened) by legitimizing municipal cops' authority and weighting heavily toward the anti-black racism (thereby letting the anti-Asian and anti-Latino racism go for the duration of this incident).

But that's just a layperson's guess.
