I agree. I understand that attacking some people, such as cops or judges, because of their job is also a generalized attack on our societal systems. I still feel that there is too much special class legislation going on, including the extra penalties for cops, or for kids, or for politicians or the minorities. It leads to too much of the allowances for those same classes, such as carrying pistols places the other citizens cannot.
