Well, Dell, seeing as how "preservation of life" is one of the duties listed under a cop's job description, yes, a cop killing an unarmed person is of greater concern to a society, as they are expected not to abuse the fact that they are armed by the state. But apparently jaywalking and selling loose cigarettes is an executable offense to some of them.

I'd add petty larceny to the list of executable offenses except that the cop who killed Brown didn't know he was a suspect in the cigar stealing. (cigar? cigarette? I've read both in the media)
