We are just trying to live our lives without succumbing to NKW sent to the wrong address or be an innocent victim like that child that had its face blown off. I do not need to be a cop in order to know right from wrong. I did my time serving my country keeping the bad guys away. I do not have to prove anything.nightmare69 wrote:We fight violence with violence. It may be going hands on to lethal force, all are forms of violence. If you think the entire mentally of LE needs changing then I challenge you to get hired on by a dept, go through the academy and get out there and make a difference.anygunanywhere wrote:
War is not law enforcement. Law enforcement is not war. There is a difference and if you cannot see the difference maybe you should change your profession. When LEO starts looking at us as collateral damage then we need to change things. Do you recall something called the Bill of Rights? Due process? Innocent until proven guilty? That child was guilty of nothing but being in the way of a flash bang device. What you propose as the norm is not fighting evil. What you propose is evil.
We can debate LE weapons, tactics, and mentally all day but at the end we are just trying to contain the crime and violence on the streets and go home to our families in one piece. Also trying not to end up on YouTube.
Exactly what violence did that child commit to deserve having its face blown off?
