Why am I supposed to care more about the death/injury of a police officer/child more than anyone else's death/injury?

Asked by tinyfaery (44107points) March 13th, 2009

Whenever a cop or a kid is injured or killed the news makes a big deal out of it. But when a cop kills/injures someone, or some random, adult person is a victim of violence, the news covers it for about 10 seconds. I don’t get it. Why are these person’s lives more important than anyone else’s?
