“Cops are not supposed to lose any fight. Regardless of your opinion of cops, they like you, have the right to go home after work.”

Do you understand that a cop returning home is not this nation’s first priority? If it were, we wouldn’t have any at all for fear of something happening to them.
Cops are expected to hazarding their lives to protection others, not shoot at the slightest sign of threat. You don’t see fireman crapping themselves as they go into harm’s way.
Cops have become cowardly, shooting at the drop of a hat, even through hostages. In a swat raid, a cop shot a dog. Another in the next room paniced and sprayed the wall, killing a teen girl and wounding her mother. Why? Because his getting home was all that mattered. Not his job to risk his life to protection the innocent. A job he chose to accept and can quit at any time.
At what’s point do you draw the line and say, “your fear was unreasonable. Now you pay for murder.” Or is a badge nothing but a license to kill.
