A gunman fired upon thousands of people attending a music festival on the Las Vegas Strip Sunday night, in a brutal attack that is blamed for at least 58 deaths, police say. In the mass shooting and panic that ensued, 515 people were injured. At least one of the dead is an off-duty police officer who was attending the concert.
Editorializing: Interesting how media always emphasize ISLAMIC terrorists, but downplay domestic terrorism as psychologically disturbed individual lone-wolfs.

Why the emphasis on cops? Are cops, and off-duty ones at that, somehow more special in the eyes of Americans, or more likely the American media perhaps?
Yes, conservative Americans absolutely believe that cops are more special than everyone else.
To me, this helps fuel the us-vs-them attitude that we non-Americans see of cop-vs-public brewing in America.
Yep.
