You should be thankful that they're out there serving and protecting the shit out of you!

Why, that disabled guy in the wheelchair could have been DANGEROUS! And everyone knows that the life of a police officer is worth a hundred times more than the life of a crippled person, so he was right to be concerned about a microscopically possible threat and shoot him!

Didn't you know, cops do nothing but play with children and rescue kittens! And you criticize them! Why do you hate America?
