Stop Killing Cops

America has seen a trend of attacks on law enforcement.

When I was a prosecutor, people often asked me if my life was in danger, given that I publicly targeted murderers, drug cartels, and terrorists. “Sure, I am at some risk,” I typically responded. “But the danger to me is minuscule compared with the danger to any police officer pulling over a car on a lonely road at night.”

This summer and early fall, America has seen a disturbing trend of people targeting and killing cops. If left unabated, the effects could be devastating—to police and to the country.

It started in Texas. On July 4, ten radicals, variously armed with weapons, body armor, and tactical gear, targeted the ICE detention center in Alvardo. When a local police officer responding to a 911 call arrived at the scene, one attacker shot him in the neck. Unarmed correctional officers who stepped outside to check on the incident were greeted by a hail of gunfire, though luckily not hit.

In the ensuing gun battle, the shooter wounded yet another officer before the police managed to kill him.

How about stop killing white people.

In this regard, cops aren’t any more special than any citizen.

I've been saying it for years.
