there it is again--YOU are perfect--inhuman--god...you would act the exact correct way--just like a movieGo for it...you should’ve lead with that instead, you don’t need my permission. Can you actually conceive the amount of times we tell our soldiers return fire only, when there’s an attack very clearly being formed against them...we asked our soldiers to go out and do the impossible, and they did, even though it was borderline insane to do so. And you really think a “when in doubt shoot,”excuse is permissible for those who are charged to protect and serve, when they are not in a literal war zone, not in one of the most dangerous countries on earth, and when their job is statistically safer than that of a garbage man?do you want me to link how many times people have pulled guns on cops--like during traffic stops, or if the cop is just talking, etc?
I’m not even saying police should return fire only. Hell no, I want them to come home safe. All I’m saying is they should not assume and act on assumptions of threat. Prepare for threat yes, put themselves in advantagous positions absolutely, but identify threat (like we as citizens HAVE TO DO) before they take lethal self defensive measures...And police have been through hell in this country. For a long time now. And our instinct is to give them a pass because “shit, I couldn’t do that, they’re hero’s.” We are taking away what actually makes them hero’s. “We find these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal.” That’s no longer true, we have tipped the scales in their favor. Their life IS more important than yours. There is actually something called the Law Enforcement Bill of Rights out there. That’s right, look it up, they got their own positive rights that aren’t afforded to you or I. The deck is stacked in their favor in more ways than the lax standards of self defense we afford them. And this isn’t all the officers fault, he’s just working with the loose leash that we as society gave him. It is time to reign in that leash where it belongs.
this is how humans are....this is how humans interact
Texas police officer slain during traffic stop; manhunt underway
Man charged with killing Missouri officer arrested
Arnold officer shot by man in custody; suspect dead
etc etc
Contrary to the Black Lives Matter narrative, the police have much more to fear from black males than black males have to fear from the police.

We asked our soldiers MUCH MORE, IN A SITUATION 1000 times worse in a daily basis...yet you’re saying we can’t ask our police to meet halfway?
again--police are doing their best NOT to shoot
there are 30 MILLION calls for police assistance per year [ not counting traffic stops ]---900 shooting deaths--most are justified
the numbers prove there is NOT a huge, chronic problem of police shooting for no reason
Well then I guess we should be thankin masta’ for letting us breath another day. Yea “police don’t shoot all the time,” does NOT excuse this.
exactly--there is NOT a huge, chronic problem of police shooting
if a policeman gets out of hand--he should get fired
I saw a video one time of a cop being verbally abusive--not using cuss words/etc--but just being on a ''I'm in charge'' trip--talking down the person..for the whole time of the incident...not being polite at all......in my opinion, he should've been ---in the least--fired for abuse of power
