Well, it kind of already has happened, at least on a small scale. A number of police have been shot since this started, but not in enough numbers to really make a difference.

Unfortunately, I doubt we've made it 10% through this particular historical chapter so far. Certain people will see things like this [1], and they will start taking potshots at random cops who had nothing to do with it.

And no, it won't help.

I like how you’ve added “at random cops” as if to delegitimize any reaction against an oppressive state. I think what’s more likely is that instead of just filming police brutality, people will start shooting police officers who are caught abusing citizens.

No, I did that to delegitimize (sic) reactions against random individuals.

Aside from the obvious moral issue, every cop killed will probably result in a dozen more being hired, and a hundred more votes for the people doing the hiring.
