In other words, requiring empathy. Yes. Are they detached enough to make hard choices? Yes, but that doesn't mean your average officer is a butcher willing to throw away lives for no reason.

What's a battalion? A division? Hell, what is a nation-state? Welfare system? Etc...

Or it's actually having basic levels of empathy and understanding that a degree of that is necessary to keep civilization and society functioning? If your response is "fuck you got mine" to a literal orphan, I would highly encourage you to do some soul searching.

You have to be a pretty cold hearted person to be unaffected by a young woman having her life snuffed out and a newborn baby now effectively being left an orphan with all that implies for them in the long run. Beyond that, though, you also need to contextualize this into its ramifications for...

Cool story, but I don't care. The empirical evidence is too obvious, too overwhelming, and no amount of political brainwashing is ever going to change the nature of reality.

Never said it wasn't? If you take the former as self evident, then the claim it's a lousy argument is cognitively dissonant on your part. As it were, however, I have no doubt that 99.99% of Fathers if asked would rather die than have their children lose their mothers; that's just how us men...

Ask this dead mother how much her "calming effect" helped her when push came to shove. Now we have an orphaned child because of this sort of rank stupidity. If your society cannot get enough men to perform in these functions, then it is time for some self searching to understand what the base...

She shouldn't have been on the force at all is the point. The fact we are putting mothers at all, or even women in general, into such positions as police or military speaks ill of us as a society. All the political indoctrination in the world slams face first into the wrongness of this in the...

Which still doesn't get to the heart of the matter; she should've never been there. We can complain about the perp all we want-and he deserves the death penalty for it-but that doesn't answer the wider question about the fact our society allowed this situation to happen in the first place.

Better question is why a new mother, and a single mother at that, was allowed to be a cop at all?
