The Police (Page 3): And sometimes it comes from a Dumba$$ POS that likes to try to confuse cashiers at McDonald's, then talk about how stupid "they" are.

Under longstanding protocol, the police may shoot to kill an individual who presents a threat to the safety of others or to the safety of the police.

Surprising. The police have no obligation to protect anyone. If they want to stand outside a school for an hour, that's their decision. Court after court has ruled that police have to obligation to protect people. If they do nothing, that's not a violation of any laws.

That is correct, so what good are they? The can find the bodies and might be able to aprehend a perpetrator, then what? Ask the judge how they can protect you. You have to do it yourself. To serve and protect is a myth.

This is a great reason why the government should not handcuff law abiding citizens by putting restrictions on the second amendment, you should have the right to protect your family and property. These lawmakers have their own body guards with weapons to protect themselves but want us to only rely on them for our protection…

Any " protection " where I live is 30 to 45 minutes out or more, it's do it yourself here, they can take out the garbage when they get here.

You have a brain, watch the video yourself and draw your own conclusion from the cops cam. Jury's can be bought, jurys can come to the wrong conclusion, sometimes the decision is racially or politically motivated. Sometimes evidence is withheld from them.

Evidence is suppressed all the time. Just because something is legal doesn't mean it is just.

Why does everyone keep wanting to break everything down into sub-groups and sub-sub-groups.
Aside from the fact that it's a human trait.

Or again, humor.

Perception....

The stupid have a very limited ability to perceive complexity, nuance or cause and effect.

So the jury was wrong? OK.

I think the jury digested what the prosecution fed them and then acceded to the howls of the local cop haters.

Written all over their patrol cars, "To Serve and Protect".

Hey the guy was armed with an AR-15. The security guard in Buffalo lost his life confronting the shooter. The Police only kill unarmed people like George Floyld.

99% probably deserved getting killed.

I guess you can’t blame them then for not wanting to engage, unlike the military where you’d be facing a court martial.

In over 30 years of police and corrections work, I have never once seen even one officer who did not want to engage. would not engage. I have no answer for those in Uvalde, TX but am willing to wait until the real story does come out.

That is right up there with some of the most ridiculous statements I have ever heard. If you don't like what the police do and how they operate may I suggest you do that job. See how well you do. Might be interesting, eh?

Thank you. And that comment was right up there near the top of dumb ass comments.
