Crowd that Wants Dead Cops Got Them

It finally happened - the mob mentality pushed someone too far, and cops have been executed.  As a result, two questions arise:

• Will those that chose sides back down on their decision, let alone their rhetoric?  Obama, Shapton, De Blasio, and especially the media and pop culture figures all fanned this flame.  They picked a side, and it is the side that wants dead cops.  So will they walk that decision back, or will we be expected to "understand the rage?"
• Where does it end?  Seriously, where and when does the "rage" end, and how many more will have to die?

The ante just went up big time, and the poker game being played now is for big stakes. It will be interesting to see who will be the ones that continue to throw chips around.
