The media is also a HUGE problem here, and if I had my druthers none of the 24-hour sensastionalizing newsertainment sites should get to call themselves ‘news’ unless they hold themselves to a far higher standard.
While it’s awful when a public servant dies, they’re putting their lives on the line and there’s a certain risk that’s inherent in that. An innocent civilian has not made that commitment and has not signed on for that risk.
An innocent civilian dying should be even worse than a policeman dying…they should be the more shocking and traumatic death.
Instead, most of our media sources are quick to put up pictures and names of the police while ignoring any civilians that died. FOX in particular is very guilty of this, and it is part of the problem.
