Is that blue privilege?
Yep. The cops will probably get away with it.

Is it blue privilege when ambush killings of officers are up over 170% this year?

22k US police officers have been killed in the line of duty. That's the same as a large war. 1500 of those were killed in the last decade and the numbers are climbing.
Police work isn't even in the top 10 most dangerous jobs. It's nearly 10 times more dangerous to be a logger than it is to be a cop.

Crap happens and people make mistakes. I'm sure you're perfect though.
My mistakes don't result in the senseless death of 73 year-old war vets.

Wasn't there a time when the left was opposed to authoritarianism? Maybe I imagined it, because nowadays they are some of the loudest apologists of state violence.

The shooter, albeit using justified deadly force, ignored commands to drop the weapon and walked out of the room with it in his hand. After just hearing two gunshots, the officer acted accordingly, even though mistakenly.

People who carry handguns and ignore police commands should expect to be shot.
Agreed.

It's his fault for being hard of hearing.

Mr. Black was only renting his home from the government. Remember that. Nobody is immune to the property-tax monster.

The only time the left gets angry over State violence is when a black guy is shot by cops. I guarantee if the homeowner had been black odanny and the other leftists would be raising hell right now.

That reminds me--where is BLM regarding this incident? Where are the protests?
