But because we have a class system where the death of a police officer is viewed more seriously than the death of a civilian, no questions will be asked.
Yeah, under normal circumstances, that “He was making furtive gestures towards his waistband” argument would not go over with the public. But when four officers are gunned down, the Rules of Engagement change.
Frankly, I think most folks would stand up and applaud if the officer said, “I shot the bastard as soon as I saw him”, which may well have been the case here.

Of course questions will be asked.
There is no “class system.”
That's garbage talk, sir.
In every shooting incident by a police officer, the officer is routinely suspended with pay while the shooting incident is THOROUGHLY investigated.
What a disgusting thing to say!!! 4 parents,children,brothers,sisters were killed in cold blood. The man who shot their killer is a hero!!!I don’t think that their occupation will effect the treatment of this shooting.
Everytime a LEO puts on a uniform they become a sitting duck for someone with a chip on their shoulder. Do YOU put yourself in that position? Most LEOS realize the risk that they face, but feel that they are called to serve.
I am thanlful for them!!!
Did the officer KNOW the guy running around his car was Clemmons?
