Both sides have decent points, not to be the one ruining all the fun around here, but both sides are also very wrong in a couple of ways. One, Kennedy was mentally ill, which makes the situation tragic, but does not make him a scumbag, as much as people wish to have someone to blame for any tragedy. Perhaps consider blaming our metal health facilities, or the doctors that prescribed a mentally ill patient adderall, or any other link in the system that failed him and failed the police officers that were killed.
To the other guy, cops can't afford to become complacent to violence, because that would open another opportunity. And from what I understand (maybe incorrectly because of TV stereotypes) but cops are generally taken off the streets for a significant period of time after firing their weapons, so there aren't really cops going out shooting day in day out. Also, perhaps consider that the cost of living around here is fucking insane, so they might be paid on a cost of living scale. Sure, NYC might be more expensive, but Richmond is cheap as dirt, and so are lots of other cities.
I think both of you need to open your eyes and minds a bit more. Now go to your rooms and don't come out til I call you for dinner.
