Great way to put that my friend. I couldn’t have said it better. Isn’t it main hall of these “deaths” have a common thread. Resisting! Fight it in court. Don’t start out with civil unrest.

It is blatantly apparent that the MSM is refusing to discuss why these situations develop in the first place. Until these thugs are told to stop fighting the police, more will be killed.

I agree that arguments and grievances are to be taken into the courtroom and not on the side of the road. I also agree that many if not most of these events could be decreased if these kids would have better parenting, and if they wouldn’t pull stunts like trying to resist and flee.
Now, can we also agree that there appears to also be a disturbing trend of gross incompetence and negligence within some departments? Training issues? Dare I question officers on prescription medications that could impair judgement? All of these warrant examination and adjustments in my opinion.
I say that as a close friend and as a relative of several brothers in blue who feel the same.
They are just as much sick and tired of these little thugs wannabe gangsters as much as of the ilk of this officer, one from Floyd’s case and sadly, many others, such as the one who killed Ashli and got acquitted (that’s a whole another can of beans there..).
Officers like the lady who shot this kid “accidentally” taint the good work that 90+% of officers do, and it makes lives for the rest of the Blue a living you know what.

:iagree: to some extent but will also point out that police are being killed in the line of duty at a clip never seen before. Can one really fault them for being a tad nervous in these situations?

This guy explains my point of view on this whole situation perfectly. He is speaking a truth the MSM and the leftist scum in this country want to pretend does not exist.

I really don't care what the media does, or says. What really makes me nervous is some people think it's OK for a government agent to use deadly force on an unarmed suspect who is resisting arrest. If that's where we we are, it's not that far a leap to execute drivers for traffic violations. I can already hear the counter arguments - "that will never happen, She didn't know he was unarmed!, it's ridiculous, over the top", etc, etc. The punk resisted, last I checked, resisting is not an offense punishable by death. Even here in Texas. What I'm saying is, every time an LEO uses deadly force, it must be independently questioned, thoroughly. Every minute detail, every second, challenged. After all, we're in charge, they get authority from us, not the other way around. It seems to me, in this case, that LEO royally screwed up and she should suffer serious consequences.

LEO is a 100% voluntary profession. When a day comes when you as a LEO find yourself to be a bit edgy and nervous, right/wrong or indifferent, that ought to be a day to consider moving into a different career field, for everyone’s sake.
Too many oopsies and too many cases that could in most cases be attributed to nervous nelly officer.
Again, those in blue that I know are rock solid and that’s exactly what my cousin said, as well as a detective buddy of mine with whom I had a good discussion on this just yesterday.
If you can’t take the heat, get out of the kitchen. LE job is mentally and physically challenging. Very stressful to even most seasoned of them all. Again, if and when tine comes when you find yourself in a performance flux (mental, physical and or spiritual), for the sake of public and your fellow officers, it’s time to move on.
I’ve watched many good firefighters in my fire/Ems days do the same. Walk out of a structure fire, take the scba mask off and say “this is it for me”.

Man sues after he shoots at police during George Floyd riots. He is found not guilty. So now he is suing 19 police officers for injuries he received during his arrest after shooting at them.

He didn’t know they were police officers and he stopped shooting at them when he realized they were police officers. The jury believed him and found him not guilty.

You don't have to have a gun to be a threat to my life. Anyone that thinks gun fights should be fair fights will lose a gun fight.

If I believe my life to be in danger, I will do whatever I can to stop that danger. And if I'm in a fair fight, I wasn't thinking far enough ahead.
