No question it is a tough jobDoesn't excuse killing unarmed innocent people
Juries excuse killing unarmed people. Our laws excuse killing unarmed people. Why is the left so obsessed with unarmed people when being unarmed has nothing to do with our laws?
Being unarmed has to do with the actual threat you pose to a police officer
Police Officers have a difficult job to do and their judgement is critical to both their own survival and the survival of suspects
It takes less than a second to pull out a a weapon to kill a police officer. It happens all the time in this country.
Freeze does not mean put your hands in your pockets. Freeze does not mean pull your hands out of your pockets. Freeze does not mean stop running and turn towards a police officer. Freeze does not mean get the baggie of dope out of the front of your pants to dispose of it. Freeze means stop and don't move a muscle until otherwise instructed.
An officer has to make life or death decisions. It could be his own life or an innocent suspect
There will be times in every stop when a suspect becomes confused, can't hear, doesn't understand English
It is not grounds to kill them
Every stop? Not once did a police officer have to guess what I was up to when I was stopped. Even if you don't know the language, when an officer pulls out a gun and begins yelling, there is only one thing to do.
Lucky for you, you are white
You get the benefit of the doubt
