Of course cops are cowards. Better to be judged by 9 than carried out by six is a common refrain heard from law enforcement, typically when it comes to spending even a fraction of a second risking their lives to determine whether or not a suspect (who is afforded the presumption of innocence until proven guilty in a court of law) is armed with a gun or a cell phone. Then of course the Conservatives on the Supreme Court ruled that police officers have no duty to risk their lives on behalf of citizens. So while conservatives might throw these cops under the bus, what they won't do is argue there should be a change in laws affirming that cops do have to risk their lives to save the innocent from an active shooter because it might weaken the defense of law enforcement when they murder unarmed suspects. Basically racist whites care more about cops getting to execute black people than they do about forcing cops to do their jobs even when their own children are in danger.
