How was he "laying his life on the line to save someone" ? Hint: He wasn't.

When did I say this particular officer did? Hint: I didn't. I implied that police officers do this on a regular basis, without regard to the things said by idiots like you.

Well, if you're going to get all pissy, let's just destroy your argument from the top down. First you provide two alternatives for why I would think it's a good thing that the cop was killed. A) He made a mistake (storming into the wrong serf's house), or B) He was a police officer. I thought my response would make it clear that neither of these two options is the correct one, but I guess I have to spell it out. It's a good thing he was killed because he was a thug engaged in a war of oppression against the very people he is supposed to "serve and protect."

Furthermore, what was the point of hoping that a police officer "lays his life on the line to save someone I love" if it is not part of your argument that that was what the officer was doing? If it had been a firefighter who was shot while attempting to mug someone, and I said that was a just outcome, would you have said "I hope a firefighter one day lays his life on the line for you" or something? What would that have to do with the firefighter's actions in that particular case? What does the fact that other police officers lay their lives on the line to protect citizens have to do with police officers who attack citizens?

I feel sad for the family of the police officer. I even feel sad that he threw his life away in the pursuit of evil. But he should have picked a better job.

PLEASE reconcile the above with the statement below.

Well, if there's a silver lining in this horrible story, at least the cop was killed.

I feel sorry for him. He probably never realized that he was one of the bad guys. He probably thought he was one of the good guys, doing something noble. But he was wrong. He was a bad guy, engaged in an evil business. And it is a good thing when bad guys, by my definition those who violently aggress against others, are killed. One less violent aggressor in the world.
