Sorry but police officer's or any other public servant's lives aren't anymore precious than mine or my family's.

All laws have to be for the protection of everyone, not just their chosen few.

The police are putting their lives on the line to protect us and our way of life, just like U.S. veterans. I think they do deserve special protection and consideration because of this.

~~~~~~~~~~~

Your "equal protection" shtick might be value -- if you and your family are:

1. Dressing up in uniforms that make them designated targets...

2. Deliberately placing themselves in harm's way daily -- if not hourly...

3. The targets of insane rhetoric that implores simpleminded sycophants to go out and kill them (even firemen and EMTs -- "because they are on the same side")...

4. Placing their lives in harm's way for the very people who are seeking to kill them...

Sorry, but -- if you and your family don't meet those criteria, you are not deserving of equal protection.

Next, are you going to pontificate that our military troops shouldn't be equipped with body armor and armored vehicles -- just because you have been provided none?

Go ahead and sit there safely at your keyboard -- protected by those braver than yourself -- and feel free to trash them -- just don't expect those of us who see reality to join in your simplistic, childish rants...
