She is reacting emotionally.  She needs to think about this rationally.  I don't think that killing those cops advanced whatever cause this man was trying to bring attention to.  In fact it may have harmed the cause.  A martyr gives up his life for a cause.  True.  But I'm not sure a true martyr would kill random cops . . . wouldn't the martyr kill someone who was identified as a "bad cop" in order to help his "cause"?  If the feeling is that all cops are bad, how is law and order ever going to come to those areas where this is the widespread belief?  If people do not cooperate with cops, cops will not cooperate with people.  What did the martyr believe should replace cops?  Was there a real solution being put forward by the martyr (outside of destruction)?

I just saw it as raw anger . . . not pinpointed at a real problem or guilty party.

There are no martyrs.  There are some heroes.  Some unsung heroes are the people who made that robot.  And, of course, the police.  If anything this guy did more to further respect for police and the danger they are in every day.   [/quote]
