All political and historical notes aside, I beleive that anyone who takes violence as a course of action should feel the full force of the law. Nothing in anyone's history allows them to say with a clear understanding of thier actions "the police deserve to get hurt or killed because I'm angry"
Lock them up. Not because of who they are, but because of what they just did.
