They are still people, for dog's sake. Some of them may be hardened criminals who indeed deserve little sympathy, but most of them are misguided kids or druggies. They certainly do not deserve to be shot because they cannot pay their drug debt or because they were at the wrong place at a wrong time.
BTW, I do give a shit when people are killed almost daily within a few blocks where I live. In fact, it is more relevant to my life than, say, the war in Iraq.
