Thus the establishment of the Thin Blue Line, backed by the "Haves", to separate and protect them from the "Have Nots". A secondary benefit of this "Social Divide" is that it allows the "Haves" to further their ambitions to move (claw their way?) up the food/social chain with less worry that they will be prey for the "Have Nots". The "Have Nots" are left to fend for themselves.

More often, the shooters/ees are both on the "Have Not" side of the "Thin Blue Line". When cops shoot in defense of others, it's rarely at someone on the "Have" side.

Actually, the fellow was a DoD police officer assigned to a Navy installation in DC. I know this as I attended the funeral last Tuesday.
