Except that most cops never shoot a gun in their entire career.

So if you have a hankering for honoring cops for their service, knock yourselves out.
But don't forget to honor the people that provide the material for your house (and much else), the folks that grow your food, the folks that actually make and patch the roof over your head...
They are putting their lives in even more danger to make sure you can survive...
(ETA: Note that the article cited above quotes a cop who said of them: "...an infinitesimal percentage, fire them more than twice." Not really comparable to soldiers in the field, thank goodness, in spite of the impression you might get from cop shows. But still, white, black or green, you're more likely to get shot by a cop in the US than in nearly any other industrial country. https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/201 ... -countries)

White nationalists have their lists of grievances as well. What's your point?
Don't bother to answer, I already know. Black nationalists get a free pass in the media and among progressives, despite their vile, openly racist ideology. If all of the social disorder BLM has incited was instead provoked by white nationalists, progressives would demand the institution of national martial law and the mobilization of the military on the streets of every city in the US.

How you could build that paragraph and call it "my" point, I'll never know.
But thanks for trying.
I will try to be more clear from now on.
If you don't understand what it say, check with Newfie.
There is a ton of blame, more than enough to go around to the wide range of people and institutions that have contributed to these disasters. In addition to the murderers who have killed people they don’t even know, there are those who created the atmosphere of blind hatred in which such killers flourish.
Chief among those who generate this poisonous atmosphere are career race hustlers such as Al Sharpton and racist institutions such as the Black Lives Matter movement. All such demagogues need is a situation where there has been a confrontation where someone was white and someone else was black. The facts don’t matter to them.
The same is true of the more upscale, genteel, and sophisticated race panderers, including the president of the United States. During his first year in the White House, Barack Obama chastised a white policeman over his handling of an incident with a black professor at Harvard — after admitting that he didn’t know the specific facts.
Nor did he know the specifics when he publicly announced that, if he had a son, that son would look like Trayvon Martin. Are we to decide who is right and who is wrong on the basis of skin color? There was a long history of that in the days of the old Jim Crow South. Are we fighting against racism today or do we just want to put it under new management?
