"Your asinine generalizations match your intellect..."
You know nothing about my intellict.
Your an Idi-t A cop's life is worth no more or less than any other human life. The fact is, that cops, IMHO are just criminals that work for the state. It didn't use to be that way, but it is today. I've been around for a long, long time and seen it change. Sure, there are some exceptions...
You are really, really naive.

You really need to get out more, IMHO.
Perhaps another location might ease the paranoia and bitterness.
By the way, do you happen to live in New Orleans? ;)

That says it all right there. Some exceptions?? You really don't know that many cops, do you? Or perhaps the ones you do know are always busting your ass.

Also, we do not convict people based on the value of the life taken or every murderer would receive the same treatment. The act wouldn't be what was punished, rather, it would be a reward for the life that was taken. Perhaps some families of victims understandably see it like that but under our penal system, such reasoning would be dangerous.
With that said, it is not the officer's life having greater value than the life of another that is relevant, it is the crime committed by the perpetrator that is relevant. When a criminal kills a police officer he is demonstrating a blatant disregard for the law and for the symbol of its enforcement and is, therefore, considered to be a greater risk to society.
Does this help?

Opinions are not facts (which are provable by data - got any?), but they are in fact like a**holes...everyone's got one.
