Case in point the two National Guards that got shot and one died. If I shot two people it would not register nationally. I am a traveling nurse and don’t know why people treat them differentaly ? I mean they are signing up and taking a risk doing so. I got empathy for families and stuff but childeren get killed everyday, or a nurse gets AIDS from a needle poke. Why should their lives matter more than yours?
Because glorifying and elevating, soldiers and cops is one of the ways the state gets people to become soldiers and cops, especially certain kind soft people. It also helps to increase public support for the institutions that oppress and suppress people in behalf of the state.
