Commonplace and Police Shootings

In reference to the three types of commonplace examples in article, the first that I came across was conjecture.
When Rahr was explaining the effect that the shootings will have on regular people in the street who will approach police officers, the reaction they will give will be much different than in the past. Instead of a friendly hello back to the citizens, the police officers will have to check their hands for weapons and be very cautious.
In regards to degree, when Rahr talks about the overwhelming amount of support that police officers are getting and the patriotism that is shown by people who stand at funerals holding American flags is so much greater than the event that happened. Also, the people who sang "Silent Night" to an officer and those who just greet friendly with the phrase "Thank you for your service."
What has been made possible is the knowledge of what police officers go through and how much they are valued in this society. Rahr references back to 9/11 throughout the editorial and of the lessons that were learned and what became possible after the attacks. It is similar to imagine what has become possible after the police shootings and I think the biggest thing is that "we are united behind a set of values and ideals."
