I did see the report. Unlike you, I am willing to wait for further information on the case before drawing conclusions. There are some troubling aspects to this situation.
There are some troubling aspects to this situation.
Several. Not the least of which being that someone would snipe at a cop like this. While I am a full advocate of maximal resistive force to unlawful actions, I am NOT an advocate of randomly plinking at groups you feel peevish about. It'd be a lot different if this cop had just gotten done raping my sister, but there are no indications of anything like that here nor of any other event that could be tied to it.
The cops reactions to it are a tad on the police state level however, and that is worrisome as well.
I hope they catch their guy. I hope even more that they do so legally.
