Unnerving Night in Boston

I'm unnerved every time I read a Globe.

"Boston officer is shot on a call; Was responding to domestic incident | 2 others are hit; all expected to live" by Maria Cramer, Globe Staff / June 15, 2011 

The shooting unnerved neighbors, many of whom were just waking up and getting ready for work. Officers descended on the neighborhood, roping off the crime scene with yellow tape....

Antigovernment and antiauthority sentiment is also stronger than it has been in decades, and police are often at the front lines of that kind of anger, Craig W. Floyd, the National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial Fund chairman, said.  

Seriously, what does THAT really have to do with what happened? 

“It’s a tough time for law enforcement,’’ he said. “A lot of people are blaming the government, blaming police in some cases for their troubled lives, and sometimes they don’t think twice about shooting a police officer.’’  

Well, if the blame fits.... !!!!!

And the cops don't think twice about tasering!
