A soldier is an active and usually willing participant in homicidal violence. If they’re killed, that’s merely the chance they took. A soldier either kills or is killed, so it isn’t a shock.
A politician is usually expected to be non-violent, and political violence is a way to intimidate the electorate so it is more personal to people.

If that’s the case, then what about cops? Cops use the threat of violence to put people in rooms and take their currency vouchers. If a cop is killed, any sensible society would go “well that’s just the risk you take by threatening violence all day long”

Probably a case of mistakenly believing everywhere is like America

Its a double standard perpetuated by institutional corruption and a powerful police union.
