I think it's high time for conservatives to get off this idea that we should reflexively defend police officers because they somehow reinforce our idea of a "law and order" society.

That's nonsense. An armed citizen should reinforce our idea of a "law and order" society. A police officer is emblematic of: (1) a society where crime is so rampant that a permanent police presence is needed, and/or (2) a citizenry too weak and cowardly to defend itself who see the police as nothing more than taxpayer-funded security guards.
