It's coming. The first case where somebody kills a cop in self defense.

What's my take away from this comment supposed to be?

When? I'm not aware of any cases. No cops were killed when they shot and killed Breonna Taylor.

There's the Wilson shooting in Texas, but that guy was reckless, it wasn't really self defence.

You dont hear about it. The people who killed in self defence are then killed by the backup.

You're 3 comments into a conversation on the topic and none of us have actually heard anything about them.

Exactly, they murdered a cop. You will not be told that it was self defence.

Ah, conspiracies are all you bring to the table then. Bye

Here's one example although the cops lived. I do recall at least one or two other stories but can't find them on Google and wouldn't be surprised to learn they were buried intentionally. I thought one was in CO or somewhere in the Midwest from several years ago where a man shot a few cops who were at the wrong address.
