Now who is obfuscating? No one has suggested cops stand as targets. Rather the general feeling is that not only should the punishment fit the crime, but the tactics should, too. Can't that sentiment survive on your side of the thin blue wall?
That is when you will come crawling to the police begging for their assistance every time.
Yes, begging them to do their job. They can then project then king stud muffin manly attitude and start filling out the report. If you guys had to grovel before Krispy Kreme would sell you a donut you might get an idea of how that feels.
Why don't you dissenters embrace the whole instead of your little slice of perverted conditions. It is because you are all "sleprocks" who want to believe the world is flat! Go back in your holes and let us do our jobs for the law abiding, tax paying, American citizens!
Does that include the American citizens who've had the temerity to disagree with you? You've got a serious case of Us v. Them going, and it doesn't take much to get on your "them" side, where apparently all rules are off.
