The two Los Angeles Sheriff’s deputies shot in the head over the weekend in Compton, Calif., are expected to survive.

But after his campaign championed paying bail of a would-be cop killer and other violent scum, maybe he should sit this one out.
Here’s what I’d like to hear:

Or news anchors at other television networks bravely saying, "This is what happens when you redefine violence as protest. First, you point a laser, then you throw a Molotov cocktail. Then you kill. Maybe it's time to end this."

We'd all like to hear that.
But this happened to cops. So, nevermind.
