You only expressed half the idea. Here's the other half:
"and they won't fear for their safety until they start to get hurt or killed."
This thought should make most people uncomfortable, but, since we tolerated what they did up to this point, the problem was allowed to fester and get worse, so now the solution is equally as severe.
Many of these cops don't agree with this but do it anyway. Another group of cops agree with it, but won't risk their lives to enforce it. There isn't any risk so both groups keep imposing their leaders wills. Once there is a threat all this will stop. I agree this could have been averted, but we are near a critical point in history right now and not enough people realize it.
