And this is why people are now pre-emptively targeting cops for elimination. It diesn't help that the standard nowadays is to select for "just barely smart enough to do the job." I saw this coming ten years ago and got out. It was the right call.
There must be an end to this intimidation by those who come to this great country, but reject its culture.

Funny, most of them probably don't know there is a Supreme Court case saying you can kill a cop if he is committing a criminal act (unlawful arrest) against you. Plummer v. State
Citizens may resist unlawful arrest to the point of taking an arresting officer's life if necessary.” Plummer v. State, 136 Ind. 306. This premise was upheld by the Supreme Court of the United States in the case: John Bad Elk v. U.S., 177 U.S. 529. The Court stated: “Where the officer is killed in the course of the disorder which naturally accompanies an attempted arrest that is resisted, the law looks with very different eyes upon the transaction, when the officer had the right to make the arrest, from what it does if the officer had no right. What may be murder in the first case might be nothing more than manslaughter in the other, or the facts might show that no offense had been committed.”
