OTOH, it could be "Me and my son could be toasted alive and my wife a widow, etc, etc". There isn't any forgiveness since there is no blame. You could look at it the other way and say that maybe he might have a widow and children that would want to beat the crap out of the cop for letting their father get killed on a futile mission. If you choose to blame someone for doing their job as specified, perhaps you need to blame society for telling him to do his job that way. If someone chooses to blame others, I'm sure they can and will find the excuse.
So help me out here. If you did the old "pump and dump" on someone very close to me and it caused me extreme rage and hatred for you, you'd be understanding if I explained the reason my hired hands beat the crap out of you, right? In fact, you'd be so understanding that you'd even drop all charges, wouldn't you? I mean, you would vote "not guilty" if the guy beat the cop's ass so since the principle is the same in my scenario, you'd say "Oh well, I deserved it. I won't press charges.", right? Sure you would.
