It truly is a shame that some of our cops are so awful. Many aren't, but the number that are.. :/ I am not a cop hater either, not at all, and I'm not dangerous, but I AM scared of what is happening with our law enforcement. |
Could it be a reaction to so many of the citizens they deal with are so awful - with nasty attitudes and weapons, ready to kill, that have them in fear for others' as well as their own lives? Cops go into the very worst of situations, see people at their very worst. Cops aren't usually called unless there is big trouble and they are the last line of public defense.
And am I wrong but aren't all but one or two of the cop shootings done when the suspect was actually in the act of resisting arrest, brandishing a weapon or actually assaulting the officer? I don't think any amount of officer training can help keep a man or woman cool and collected in that moment when they are in actual fear for others' lives being lost because they failed to act or in fear for their own life, knowing that if they go down themselves, not only could they die in those next few moments but the suspect will very likely take their weapons and be loosed on the public - a menace to the whole city until caught.
Seems like cops have a dangerous, thankless job and only a few of us are even willing to try to do take that job on - even fewer if this latest cop-hater climate keeps growing, with citizens marching in the street chanting slogans about wanting "cops dead now" and "fry pigs in a blanket", while their very lives are being protected from those who would silence them as they march by officers standing on the line. And then it will be us vs. the out-of-control criminals - who have no empathy for any of their victims of the moment.
