Decorated Boston police officer shot in the face - CNN.com
This time it is hard to blame officers for being brutal. Maybe it is time to accept there is a reason behind police brutality except for deprived and immoral nature of American policemen (according to liberals). How many cases could have ended like this if officer didn't follow the instruction and shoot the suspect? I bet potential criminals' lives are less valuable than lives of law-abiding cops. Not all of them are good but attacking American police in general is a sign of anti-governmental propaganda.
It's tragic that a Boston police officer who was either a hero or had acted heroically (I don't know anything else about him) was shot. That said, I don't know how one tragedy gives police officers the green light to murder potentially innocent suspects, which is exactly what you said. You're also judging the value of lives, which is a really despicable thing to do. If you don't know somebody, maybe it would be in your best interest to hold off on hoping they are murdered until you're quite certain that they're an imminent, lethal threat to those around them. Brutality is and has always been unacceptable, whether it is police brutality or the brutality of criminals. I hope that you're just a little too emotional right now to speak rationally.
