    yes, in the U.S. hurting or killing a cop generally results in the full power of the state being leveraged against you

    people can be killed every day in gun violence, but the one time a man on a run ended up shooting a cop when trying to get away, suddenly the radio is giving updates on the situation and memorials are being held and state officials are taking an interest in a local shooting, etc.
