If someone is targeted for violence specifically because they are police, it should be a hate crime.
Fucking asshole cops gotta suck it up and deal with random acts of violence just like everyone else. They have guns which are already banned for everyone else.
not protect police officers nearly enough. Assaulting a police officer should be a felony that carries a minimum of five years in prison on top of other penalties for additional crimes committed
And they wonder why so many are killed in the line of duty? What the fuck is their duty anyways? Just beat the shit out of some random dude on the street and bully him into a five year prison sentence without even so much as a court appearance?
And if the cops are picking on guys like that, they're really fucking over some of those poor women or street ladies out there. And the cops aren't the ones going to prison for all that rape, either.
People are starting to come to the inevitable conclusion that the only good cop is a dead cop. I don't like that, but city hall hires far too many cops for the job that needs to be done, most of the street violence in any given city being instigated by the cops themselves in the first place.
Drug deals are going down everywhere, and people aren't even clean and sober behind the wheel, but the cops sure aren't busting the druggers.
