I have to disagree, the safety of police officers is more important than a lot of other things, the rights or criminals to not be swamped by heavily armed police for example. If the police fear there is a reasonable risk for fatalities or injury on the side of the police officers or the public from armed criminals, then I choose the protection of the police and the public rather than the rights of the suspect.
I have to disagree with your preference of their lives over our rights. They cannot LEGALLY violate my rights, the defense of our rights is the very purpose of Government and they chose a risky job to protect and serve US.
I value freedom over lives. People died for our rights, we do not give them up in the (false) hope of saving a few. To do so would dishonor, even piss on the graves of, our forefathers and their sacrifices.
