The thinking behind that is if the perp shoots a cop he certainly would not hesitate to shoot a citizen. He is therefore extra dangerous.
That's one way to think of it. I prefer to think that an individual shooting a Stop and Rob clerk just for the thrill of it is a more dangerous person to me than one who kills a cop while attempting to flee.
Is killing dozens of prostitutes over the course of years less dangerous to society then killing one cop?
