Unit said shot, not dead.

O.K., lets go there.

On average, 23,000 law enforcement officers are injured annually. Fewer cops are shot in the line of duty each year then convenience store clerks making minimum wage and they didn't volunteer for the danger. Are they heroic, too? Sure, and the fact that the clerk didn't ask to be in the line of danger from some thug makes him a lot more sympathetic, in my opinion.

Again. Poor behavior, bad attitudes and harrassment of otherwise law-abiding motorists by police officers isn't excused by the fact that police work is inherently dangerous.
