I’ve always found that so stupid yeah. “Cop killing” is always painted as this ultimate evil and so much worse than killing a regular person, especially in all the copaganda shows. But theoretically the whole reason cops have so much legal leeway and can use so much force and whatnot is because they’re taking on a risk by putting themselves in the line of duty (even though you’re actually more likely to die as a pizza delivery driver).
If you view cops as mostly there to protect the interests of the rich, it makes a lot more sense. Being a cop gets special privileges because it’s the singular most important job to keep poor people from taking from the rich.
