It truly is sad all the way around. I am so sad for this poor woman. Yet I have never seen this much outrage when a cop gets killed in the line of duty, or when a innocent child is killed by stray bullets from the thugs shooting at eachother. I know for a fact, my brother doesn't do his job itching to shoot someone. Chances are if it is necessary for him to draw his gun he is not dealing with a jaywalker. It's always after the fact. What if Sam was in there and killed the officers? The people these men deal with are not the same that you or I would come into contact with.
It's simple really. We have the cops there to protect us from criminals who would do violence on us. But who is there to protect us when the police do violence on us? So there's extra concern when those chosen to protect us, armed with extreme firepower, and acting in our name take an innocent life.
