Far too many ‘incidents’ come across as if the police have a ‘thinning the herd’ mentality - patrol, observe, see anything disturbing to a sense of order - just take it down - call it ‘resisting’ & becomes one less to deal with.
We need more guns on the streets…yea, that’s the ticket. Thank you NRA, you helped create this shit-storm.
Its just about impossible to claim that the guy went for a gun when he was naked. Now, the fact that he was naked is a whole other issue, like, why was he naked?
The bigger question is, why shoot to kill only? Why do cops have teargas on their belts instead of just a belt full of guns if they are only going to shoot first?
I mean, get rid of the radio, the camera, the handcuffs, the teargas, the nightstick, everything but the gun and quit pretending, its giving the citizens a false sense of security.
Obviously, this won’t be the last one because before this even dies down, it will happen again, as sure as the sun will shine.
There will come a day that another death/murder by cop will be one too many, the final straw. Why the cops want to keep pushing for that outcome is truly an enigma.
