And yet, virtually all the conservatives I know defended the cop without question. The topic came up over dinner at my aunt and uncle's house and one of their friends was literally YELLING at me over the issue. It's mindless. I am not anti-cop, but I am anti-BAD cop, and unfortunately there are too many of them out there.
For claiming to believe in the sanctity of life, most conservatives have very little regard for the innocent people murdered by law enforcement every year.
They consider it aceptable collateral damage worth the cost of them having a sense of personal phyiscal security.

It is the responsibility of every American citizen to own a modern military rifle.
