The politically motivated attacks against law enforcement should not keep our eyes out of the high crime rates in certain communities. If we get into trouble, it is not the activists but the police officers that help us out. The lawmakers do not act upon our regular laws; citizens should be protected from the dictatorship by the powerful someone who got 'elected' or not.
If vaccine deaths -- more than 3400 by CDC -- can be justified by the high fatality of the coronavirus, the same logic should be applied. There will be more deaths just this weekend by criminals than by the police officers.
Does the media coverage help motivate the police officers for better standards? The entire coverage of the news only sounded like a political jab, scoring the political points. We should not be tested for our loyalty by the campaign support.
