ABSTRACT
On August 14, 1998, ABC news reported the story of a Los Angeles police officer, shot through the head as he sat in his patrol car. Wearing a uniform showing his identity as a police officer was his only crime and, in certain circles, killing a cop earns one much envied status. But to kill a police officer, one must also kill the other social identities attached to the human being wearing the uniform (e.g., son, husband, father, basketball fan, etc).
