Unless, someone helps advance the evil conservative agenda they do not count as real Americans. Nor do conservatives honor those who do not hold to right-wing orthodoxy. It matters not if you are a Veteran or Police Officer if you oppose them, conservatives will engage in the politics of personal destruction against you.
Conservatives don't give a shit about Cops. On every issue conservatives are bloodsucking parasites who view people as a means of advancing the right-wing agenda of intolerance, oppression, and the adulation of the rich.
The ambush and execution style murder of two Iowa Police Officers, would seem to fulfill the right-wing rhetoric of Obama's and #BlackLivesMatter War on Cops except the alleged murderer is a Trump-lovin', confederate flag wavin', white power spoutin' red-blooded white american name Scott Michael Greene.
Thus, Faux News and the right-wing internet are silent. This attack on Police doesn't conform to their propaganda, it doesn't advance their agenda, it doesn't aid the conservative slow moving coup d'état; thus it is as if it never happened.
Of course, the murderer was allowed to surrender even after killing two cops in two separate ambush style attacks. Personally, I'm okay with his capture because the Iowa State Police and FBI should be able to garner intel from this killer but, the fact that this Trump supporting cop killer can surrender and not be immediately shot dead after killing two officers will not surprise the black and other minority communities, who are never afforded the opportunity to surrender when unarmed.
As we have seen over and over again, right-wing domestic terrorism is coddled and encouraged in America, especially because the perpetrators are overwhelmingly white males. We have an entire News Organization, large swaths of the internet, and elected Republicans officials espousing armed revolution and the removal President HRC immediately after her winning the election. So, two, or three or more dead Cops killed to advance the right-wing take over of America is a price conservatives are willing to pay and willing to extract.

Why do Conservatives sell themselves so cheaply to the Republican Party?
As America moves forward into the 21st century, the 2016 election has produced reams of justifications for White Working Class (WWC) continued defection to the Republican Party, under the catch-all of "economic anxiety".
Of course, it's a surreal joke that the WWC supports the very same party which has been cutting their economic throats all along. Even now, Donald Trump's supposed campaign alludes to the vague promise of making America Great again and delusions of so much winning you (the white males who comprise his supporters) will get tired of it.
Now, I know why conservatives like James O'Keefe, Sean Hannity, Ann Coulter, Karl Rove, or whomever fluff the flagging Republican Party, they get paid handsomely to do so. But, besides the occasional state law, like Mike Pence's feel free to discriminate against non-christians law or Governor McCory's beat up non-conformists in bathrooms law, the Republican Party has done the bidding of the 1% and advanced the interests of the Plutocracy, while doing nothing to help and much to harm the WWC. So, why do the WWC cling to the Republican Party so tightly after receiving little tangible benefit?
Since the election of evil Ronnie Raygun, Conservatives and especially the WWC have gotten nothing from the Republican Party so why do they keep going back to them?
All of Bill Clinton's outreach and all of Barack Obama's outreach was met with disdain, anger, and threats/acts of violence by conservatives. And while the right-wing hatred of HRC can be explained by the ceaseless conservative agitprop of the last 25 years, it would seem that their hatred of Barack Obama was baseless. After all Obama embodies many of the ideals and values conservatives claim to cherish, save for one "flaw" i.e. His unforgivable blackness.
And this gets to Trump's other core campaign promise; the concrete guarantee of an ethnically, racially, and morally unjust society.
And this is the terrible truth the Left must confront in the United States, race will always Trump class in American politics. Since the antebellum era, the Ruling elites sought out and implemented policies which divided the WWC from minorities. Of course, what many leftists seemingly fail to want to admit is it's time to give up on the WWC.
Because the modern Democratic Party didn't abandon the WWC, whites left the Democratic Party, first as a slow trickle under Nixon's Southern Strategy and then in a mass exodus for the Hollywood myth of Ronnie Raygun. Of course, the modern Democratic Party has been frantically wooing, cajoling, and reaching out to the WWC for the past 35 years but, it's time to tell the WWC they need to come to the left.
If the WWC doesn't recognize that minorities rights are their rights. If they can't understand that LGBTQ issues are their issues. If they refuse to understand #blacklivesmatters means their lives matter then why keep feeding into their white victimization syndrome? Why keep pampering their white resentment?
It's time the WWC recognize they've shackled themselves to a party which hates them, that the Republican Party bought them cheaply, and has no intention of ever helping them, but simply employs the WWC as goon squad, and ply them off with tawdry religiosity, shoddy bigotry, and promises of Apartheid Utopia.
