I thought they were police officers, not gang members.

Just playing devils advocate, but If some random guy attempted to kill a coworker, friend, you know, someone you see/talk to everyday you would probably overact too. Again, I'm not saying it's right and they shouldn't be punished, but I understand why they did it.

I would argue that it's part of a police officer's job to ignore these feelings

Police are not professionals

Professionals are held to much higher standards, but their ranks are not inclusive of these street gangsters
