I know myself I get pretty irritated, just looking at a cop that is dressed like a solider and not a police officer. I look at that as a attempt to intimidate the average person.

It is frustrating and I feel the same. In highlighting, for me anyway, I'm trying to show that we ALL feel frustration and over react to it. Those police overreacted to frustration, agitiation, and anxiety with their guns, others do it verbally.
And I think it's also important to maybe step back from such comments, while they are venting, I'm not so sure there's any real value in venting anyway + if there is, there's a time and place to vent. I don't think it helps people meet in the middle to say we should shoot the shooters.
anyway, that's how I see it.
