Cops aren't workers

I would imagine a cop would think twice about killing indiscriminately when his head might be turned into a fine red mist by a retaliatory sniper's bullet.

Al-Qeada got drone-striked for like a decaded. seven trillion dollars later they got their own state now.
So insurrection works just fine.

But if the targets are random cops, doesn't that just make them afraid all the time as opposed to afraid of doing anything specific to provoke an attack?

Yes, and when they're afraid they more willing to let those communities rule themselves, because noone wants to die.

Not him, but really, how are politicians and police going to respond to this? I can't possibly imagine anything good coming from this. I have no sympathies for dead cops, but this was just poorly thought-out and makes us look bad and people turn away from us even more than they already have. It really lacked foresight IMO and potentially fucked us over just to shoot a dozen random cops.

If you're gonna kill cops for political ends, it'd be more effective to kill famously corrupt ones who got off scott-free then just some randos non-leftists don't have a reason to hate or believe they deserve punishment. Like said, though I know he'll probably disagree with the rest of this post.

OH FUCK

What the fuck? Al-Qaeda hasn't done shit in years. You know terrorist groups aren't interchangeable, right?

It was just one (apparently) guy who got pushed over the edge. How does it make us look bad?

Al-Qaeda runs all of the "rebel-held" areas in Syria, and ISIS is just an Al-Qaeda spinoff. Also, Taliban is another great example. They hold more territory in Afghanistan than they ever have since our invasion.
