There are outpourings of sorrow and concern for police that die in the line of duty; as there should be! Where is the equivalent national sobbing and tear fest when unarmed Americans (especially Black Americans) are shot and killed by police? Aren't their lives just as valuable? Isn't the loss to their family and community just as heartbreaking? When a law enforcement officer is killed, every effort is made to find and punish the killer. When police shoot and kill an unarmed citizen, (like a 12 year old Black child playing with a pellet gun), they get a "Get Out of Jail Free" card. This cannot continue! It is an abomination on this country! And maybe this unpunished killing of unarmed citizens by Police is why crazy people walk up to a Law Enforcement Officer they don't even know and shoot them.
