    I don’t see how the occupation of the person getting shot makes it any more serious.

    And cops would already communicate to each other that one of them was harmed, so I’m not sure it helps them either.

      TBF, if someone is on the run after having attacked a police officer, you could safely assume that they are a danger to anyone who stands in their way.

        I don’t currently think so, but you may be right: An attacker is more dangerous if they’ll harm a cop.

          That’s what I was going for, and I was not clear enough. If you’re someone who’s going to attack a cop in order to escape, you’re far more likely to do anything to remain uncaptured.
