    I guess I'm just pessimistic and I can see a flood of libs and chuds using it to say "Look cops DO protect people even those bad shoplifters who are really at fault!"

        True but the cops rolled up on the scene and shot (from what I can gather was) a black man holding people at gunpoint, no mention that any verbal exchange was made between them. I doubt they would have been so swift to execute a white guy in the same circumstances.
