I don't think its a hard distinction to make that the bar is higher when you are issued weapons and authority by the state.

Leftist asshole talking about "old white men" online = bad

Cop who has the power to use force against you or arrest you talking about how "thugs deserve slugs" = worse

This isn't hard.
