I don't think that we do, well, I'm speaking for myself. RIP to the victim.

So sad. My condolences to his family and friends. I wish we would stop resorting to violence and hatred in this country.
Tragic
Not really. We're reminded of it constantly, particularly when they fuck up.
RIP to the officer. Senseless violence.
IIRC being a cop isn't even top ten in most dangerous jobs in America. The vast majority of police never even draw their weapon.

Well it wasn't senseless violence.
She was killed by a black man because she's a cop. Shouldn't this be called terrorism?
If he had an Islamic name and targetted her because she's a cop everyone would call it terrorism.

Death isn't the only measure of "danger" though, which is usually what those lists are looking at.

Pretty stupid to think being against terrorism and the killing of innocent cops and is the same as supporting cops who kill black people. If you actually think that you have zero credibility, imo.
A man, targeted and killed a police officer for political revenge. That's basically the defintion of terrorism. Disgusting to see people defend a murderer just because of his skin color.

You know something we don't?
Or are we just making shit up to air random grievances.
1) why dont you quote who your referring to instead of just throwing stuff out there vaguely referring to other posters.
2) killing a cop isn't terrorism by itself. You're speculating at best, and that's generous.

Who are you talking to? Who has done this?
What the fuck are you talking about. Who is defending the shooter. Why are you just making shit up. What is the endgame here.

I was just talking with a friend over the 4th about his rough week as a state police officer. He carried a dead baby out of a drug house and tried to give it CPR but it was too far gone. Later in the week he was the first responder to a particularly gruesome accident that killed 2 teenagers. He then had to inform the parents.
But you're right. He never had to draw his gun.

Do you even know how to read or are you just making shit up?
How do you know the suspect is affiliated with a political or religious group?
Terrorism is an orchestrated attack on the public to sow fear and resentment and provoke politically, in the name of an ideology.
You think this attack was that?

I don't know the Shadowhelper history on these topics however,
Unless you did some digging that's some speculation, and I'm being generous.
Where did you come to this conclusion.

Police, Paramedics, Firefighters, etc. see more horrific shit than most soldiers deployed to active warzones on a daily basis. This seems to be forgotten or ignored.
But it doesn't matter because "they chose to take on the job", according to many people who shit their pants at the very thought of getting into a car or going outside and dealing with other human beings face to face, I guess.

Paramedics see the same and worse on a regular basis. So do ER doctors. That doesn't make those jobs dangerous, at least not in the context used here.
The police force isn't a hivemind... just because there are corrupt and terrible people in the force doesn't mean an innocent and unrelated officer deserves to be killed. SMH

Senseless murder.
I don't forget how dangerous it is, but man is the pay HORRID for what they do.
Saw an advertisement at Myrtle Beach for new officers. Starting pay, a measley $24k - $26k.
I wouldn't' die for that kind of money.
If your point is that any time a person is killed because of an aspect of their identity it's terrorism, then I suppose that makes almost literally every murder an act of terrorism.

Senseless murder. This will only make police officers more anxious during routine situations and will provide sympathy to those few officers who act outside of the line of duty.
It's a reciprocal effect that needs to stop. Both sides are guilty of murder, so there can never be justice without mutual responsibility.

He was shot dead by police.
Obviously them seeing horrific shit means that any person can be killed without provocation at the slightest hint of danger especially if it's a black person. You sure proved your point.

Why not? If you don't think this is going to be used to justify more murderers of black people getting off scot free you've not been paying attention. Ignoring the elephant in the room is like trying to cordon off talk about how a domestic terrorist atrack sill affect the country's Muslim population.

RIP. Horrible way to go.
NYPD and FDNY badges on Twitter.
EDIT: The commissioner is calling her death an assasination.

neither of those situations are particularly dangerous to the officer involved. The conversation was about danger, not potential psychological damage.
Also lots of people, unfortunately have to deal with dead bodies. My wife has had to deal with two suicide attempts one of which was successful. And she's not a first responder.
thats the way his post came off, like the stereotypical cops are always right person.
Furthermore, there is a large disconnect in society when a cop kills someone and when someone kills a cop. The cop will get a large public funeral. The cops family will get his or her pension and the perpetrator is generally caught or killed within hours of the crime being committed. The cops name will never be dragged through the mud, in fact that cop will be hailed a hero, regardless of the circumstances of their death.
Conversely when a cop kills someone, regardless of the circumstances, that persons name will be dragged through the mud. The officer will almost never face criminal charges and when they do they will far more often than not found not guilty.

Like legit assassination? Like someone paid for her to get off or is he just dropping big words to say murder?

Being a cop is a thankless job. Which is crazy because when the gun shots start ringing out, their job is to run towards the bullets. Unprovoked attacks like this against police officers is truly the lowest of the low.

Doesn't mean he was paid. Technically it would just mean its politically motivated, which it probably is.
That's gotta be pay for seasonal gig. Probably only hire you on full time from May to September and then either part time the rest of the year or no hours at all.
