Within hours of the recent ambush killings of five Dallas police officers — and again 10 days later, when three Baton Rouge officers were killed — messages of respect and support for law enforcement coursed through the nation's social media, filled the airwaves and prompted countless press releases. As politicians nationwide rushed to reiterate their support for police, Texas elected officials figured prominently in the calls for a greater societal embrace of officers and more protections for first responders who perform some of the toughest jobs.

Support for law enforcement doesn't mean non-support for fundamental rights, and support for fundamental rights doesn't mean non-support for law enforcement.
They are sworn to uphold and defend the constitutions of their state and the United States.
The protections therein aren't meant to make their jobs easier, they are meant to foreclose efforts to make their jobs easier by infringement of those rights.
And in these emotional times, everyone would do well to remember that.
