While that very well may be his take on it, I look at it more from the
perspective of the chances of getting the death penalty on the table. It is
easier for people to pull the wool from their eyes vis a vis murder and
lack of consequences if the cop on the corner that is paid to protect them
is gunned down vs. an unknown average citizen 5/50/500 miles away. Sort of
a, "my God they killed 'Officer John' right on the block where my
little
'Johnny' walks to school, get the SOB." vs. a, "gee too bad for
'John Smith'
but killing his killer is barbaric"
