Actually, police come around after the violence generally and investigate crimes and arrest people. WE ARE the front lines between order and chaos, and should not try to shift it on police, who the supreme court has found have NO DUTY TO PROTECT US. Our lives are just as important, and spending hundreds of millions of dollars (like the case in PA) on an investigation for one dead cop, who looks to have been having an affair with the sister of the killer, while when regular folks are killed in cold blood they get one detective on the case part time, that drifts for years and often becomes a "cold case". I guess you believe some animals are more equal than others, but I do not. Our brave soldiers and marines truly risk their lives every day for peanuts against real threats with crew served weapons, armor, and artillery. More soldiers die per year in peacetime (~1500 non-combat deaths per year is typical, couldn't find for 2014 specifically) than cops die in the line of duty (~125 for 2014); in 2014, for the first time in the US the number of law enforcement officers and active duty soldiers are about the same ~1.2 million, so this is an apples to apples comparison and shows EVEN IN PEACETIME that being a soldier is ten times as dangerous as being a cop. In wartime it's more like twenty to thirty times more dangerous. But cops are more special than us grunts, right?
… supreme court has found have NO DUTY TO PROTECT US…
How can that be? I have it on good authority that, were it not for cops, most of the females and this country will be raped.
