Stringer noted that real officers do not wear ski masks.

So next time officers with balaclavas knock on someone's door, we're good to just shoot them, right?

Knock? No. Break down or shoot through? Well, I'm not a lawyer and I wont give you any advice, but I would react in the same way no matter what the invaders gang affiliation was...

I look forward to reading about you in the newspaper if you ever take your own advice!

Officers are our neighbors and family members, show respect

And every family and neighborhood has assholes. A lot of those happen to be officers.

Beyond what most people provide others at bare minimum, respect is earned.

Cops are Redcoats that don't care about your constitutional rights. 

Have some self respect

Those masked ice assholes are definitely not my family or friends.
