Cut the crap y'all. This stuff is inherently politicized, every Black man killed by the police is held up as evidence of the evils of our carceral system and every police officer who is shot is used as evidence of the dangerous rhetoric of the Black Lives Matter movement. I fully expect conservatives to belittle black men being shot by the police and I reserve the right to point out that police deaths are exceedingly rare. That doesn't mean that I don't care. I certainly do but I'd be lying if I attempted to feign intense sadness: murder is so common in this country that I'm desensitized to it.
I'm sure all the families of the dozens of dead cops this year are glad to hear that its exceedingly rare.
