Hurts, dont it?
So stop doing it yourself when the roles are reversed
You're trying to make the argumen that it hurts when we say a thug "deserved it" when they unlawfully assault a cop and get shot.
Your flaw is....there is NO moral equivalence to a cop lawfully enforcing the law....vs a thug unlawfully assaulting that cop.
Change the word "thug" to person and try it again
Anyone who unlawfully assaults a cop stops being a person at that point and becomes an uncivilized thug...no matter their color. Afterall..."thug" originated as slang to describe white European immigrant criminals.
The problem is that the more you excuse "taking out" a "thug" the more "thugs" you'll see that need to be "taking out"
It works the same way with the War on Terror. Violate rights....Who cares? They are "terrorists"!! (sprinkle some fear) Who wants to KILL YOU!!
Now, try it again changing the word "thug" to "person". You seem reluctant
