Actually, yes, laws in MO. and elsewhere punish criminals more severely if the victim is a cop [or judge or juror or prosecutor or a child, or certain others]. That's not because a cop is more intrinsically 'valuable.' The role of 'cop' is given special legal status.
This story carried by FOX shows just how biased the media is. For instance, I didn't read anywhere what race the shooter was, nor the race of the cops shot.
Yet the article takes the time to twice mention that a white officer shot a black, as if to give the story some context.

I guess that's what did it. Never underestimate the power of a monetary reward!
That's one angle...also consider the angle that some of the protestors are actually genuine in their desire for change in Ferguson and felt that the shooting severely undermined their efforts
Good. glad they caught the guy. If the guy does not have a permit for that weapon I hope he faces charges for that too. Since when is settling a dispute with a gun a good idea?
Lawful gun owners know that when you draw your weapon you need to be in a situation where you are going to need it to protect life or property. If you point it at somebody you better be prepared to fire and if you do have to pull that trigger you should expect that you will kill whatever is on the other end.
Owning and carrying a firearm is serious business. NOT to be taken lightly.

The protesters really were not all that near the shooting. I think they would have contributed, but had little to contribute.
The key break was a tip that led police directly to the firearm used in the shooting.

Isn't it interesting how when one single protester goes berserk and shoots a couple of cops, the protesters are all bad. But when thousands of cops brutalize and murder innocent citizens, the pro-police apologists say that they are just a few bad apples.
When a cop gets shot. See, the police need more powers. Give them more powers. But when a cop shoots an unarmed citizen, he is just doing what he was trained to do. Nothing needs to be changed.

Isn't it interesting how when one cop goes berserk and shoots a couple of thugs, the cops are all bad. But when thousands of thugs brutalize and murder innocent cops, the pro-thug apologists say that they are just a few bad apples.

See what I did there?
Yes, I see what you did. You made my point.
Protesters are all wrong. The police are always right. The police state is not strong enough yet. The police need more powers. We need to give up more of our Constitutional rights to protect the police. The police need to be able to shoot first and ask questions later. Because their safety is so much more important then the life of an innocent citizen.
