Sure, Iowa should have the death penalty for crimes like this, they also have a murder rate less than half of a state like Texas. ;) 7-Elevens being knocked over every night.

You go after law enforcement agents, whose motto is to protect and to serve; it is an attack on all of us. Even Trump has said this.
I don’t call shooting LEOs to be the same as shooting the county clerk or dog catcher, they are government employees to,
shooting law enforcement, even firemen to me, is shooting who upholds the law or tries to protect us “some” if people are saying we ourselves are the first line of defense, I do agree.
