Then what is worth defending?
This Country!
Yes, freedom and liberty are also worth defending, but shooting a police officer is not the way to accomplish that.
I'm troubled by what this law says as well, but I don't think the whole story is being presented here.
I'm sure things have changed a lot since since I was a cop, but I do know there are valid reasons some of these things are done, and it's not as random as it appears in this story.
I have to go for now...have a great day, and just remember, there are a lot of GOOD cops too!
