What I see is a complete lack of outrage when police are murdered. In Oakland, the community rallied behind the murderer who killed several officers.

In Chicago, there is no outrage in the community over this killing, but there is plenty of outrage over cases of police brutality. There was no outrage in the community when another officer was killed earlier this year and there was no outrage in the community when another Chicago officer was robbed of his gun, badge and wallet moments after his squad crashed while responding to a call. The officer had suffered a broken neck and severe spinal injuries, but one of the fine members of the community went into the car and moved the severely injured officer, making his spinal injuries much worse so he could rob an injured man.

Just as another example. There was plenty of outrage over Rodney King’s beating, but where was the outrage over Reginald Denny’s life altering beating by rioters? Where was the outrage when his attackers were set free?

And you wonder why that is when the police can murder civilians with impunity?

Do you really expect the victims to have sympathy for the jackboots?

In those "counter" examples you cite, were the police outraged at all, or did they make excuses for their brethren? Poor training, chaotic situation, lack of experience, etc?
