There weren't protests for the politicians who were shot over the last few years.
It's different if it's the state perceived to have done something, i.e the police, than if it's some random criminal.
Same reason there were protests for the murder of Sarah Everard but not for the two MPs who've been murdered in the UK. One of them has been perceived to be a problem with authority, such as the Met Police, and the others were widely acknowledged to be wrong.
Senior Democratic politicians and commentators have all come out to condemn this murder. It's universally seen as a bad thing. Who would you be protesting against?
