    but, are we to deny the law officers from doing thier jobs, that they are hired to do?

    do we simply let criminal activities go by the wayside, THEN gripe that law enforcement officers "don't give a dam"..?????

    we gripe when they do thier job

    we gripe when they don't do thier job.

    There’s ZERO point in carrying if the chamber empty. Many don’t because, “the gun might go off.” Guns don’t go off. Well, not without human error.

    I am not talking about tasers and pepper spray. there are plastic, rubber bullets that will not kill but will put down a human. There are hybrid ones also with effect of taser. Not all of them are high on pcp. Killing is not ok . We are not in 18 century. Only in special cases deadly force must be used. If this policemen would use regular taser the driver would lay on ground alive.

    There’s a video on YouTube where a guy pulled the handle out of a glass door at a bank, shattering the glass. The cops had two tasers on him to keep him down to get restraints on him. And then the guy dies.

    The news put out how the police killed an unarmed black man.

    I said to Gretchen when I saw this “This is why I have respect for anybody willing to be in law enforcement “.

    It’s not a job I think I could do.

    That should mean one more empty parking space for the rest of us. Somebody has to take out the trash.

    I have zero sympathy for any human being who tries to harm an innocent person.

    The driver did not attempt too "Kill" The officer... The driver attempted to "MURDER" the officer.
    In self defense, The officer was within his right to kill and, defend himself, from being murdered.
    There is a hugh difference between justified killing and murder.....
