Do you feel bad for cops who get (rightfully) killed while carrying out unjust laws? You don’t get to have your cake and eat it, too. A person doesn’t get to align themselves with the state against the people and then claim victimhood when they suffer the consequences of class betrayal.
If you feel the laws are unjust, the effort should be on changing the law, not liking the people enforcing them. Who gets to decide which laws are unjust?
This. You can dislike someone and still recognize that a thing is sad, and that the people who loved them are suffering.
Not touching the extremist “everyone aligned with the state should die” argument. I have enough things to make me angry in my life, I don’t need to pull out a broad generalization that’ll anger me whenever I speak to my mailman.

I feel bad for people who are killed. Full stop.
They may have deserved to be killed for some reason or it may have been necessary but it still sucks.
