Police Officer Testifying

Yes we need to make sure you are dead before we feel safe, because we police have the right to be scared over a citizens right to live, non lethal force isn't a thing and people will always make excuses for us~

just putting it all out there :D

I agree 100%, once the Police in the USA reach the numbers killed by gangs, then it will be time to discuss the non lethal force option. Until then I agree with you let the gangs kill each other and if they miss a Police officer should step in and end them. Great call.

Yes cuz everyone shot by an officer had to be in a gang the news told me so! Even if they're not affiliated and are just innocent they are assumed to be gang members. Amazing.

Pretty stupid comment, did you miss the play the fool part? Have someone with an actual brain read it to you slow enough that you can understand it. You attack an officer, you should die, yes, it really is that simple.

There are people that do not attack officers and the officers are still shooting to kill,
Your only thought is derp gang members or they attacked the officers how are you this foolish?

Here's a few things we've seen; A cop Shot and killed a drunk guy that was face down trying to follow various commands on the floor, shoot and killed a foolish boy that was walking away the officers were asking for a stun gun, pushed and shot a man after asking for his ID, shot a guy that was trying to help a kid he was in charge of taking care of, beat up a young woman on the side walk took her stuff, shot an innocent woman stormed the house and killed an autistic kid afterwords, a gang of officers jumped a homeless man in broad daylight like a pack of gang members themselves.

I read the meme we all have the right to defend ourselves I don't disagree but it sounds to me like you advocate way too much for an authority that we've seen time and time again isn't 100% innocent dead men tell no tells so the alive party can easily say I was assaulted, The real crime is they enforce a law that they do not have to follow, and imbeciles like yourself eat it up and regurgitate their claims in defense of them cuz of what? In the end you just sound like an insensitive jerk.

Police are there to protect and serve lethal force should always be the last resort unless the person gets violent unless malicious intent confirmed unless the perp is drawing on you, but provoking responses disrespecting citizens, coming in guns blazing and finally coming into court lying about how you felt threatened is not a police force that will be good to people. Not to say there are no good officers, in the past I've even met a few but the news and the stories that come out is just terrible and your only thought is was that the people killed deserved it? wtf?!

I stop reading when you resulted to name calling, you really did not want a discussion just a chance to insult my meme and me. Grow up. Nation wide you have a greater chance of dying by a criminal act than being shot by an officer (deserved or not) and officers do get arrested, charged and jailed for murder if found guilty. The law applies to all. Two things make the problem look bigger than it it is, a media that hates the police and want the war on police to continue and officers encountering more violent offenders. On an average you have less than two seconds to decide to shoot or not shoot, that makes accidents, bad training, fear and the criminal history of an area all are factors. I am not writing this response to you but for people that really want to understand why this happens and why it will continue. People like you see the police as potentially dangerous without cause but read a story about and officer getting ambushed and shrug it off. You hate and don't know why you do it. When you do find yourself a victim of a criminal act and odds are that you will, handle it yourself. You do not deserve the protection of the police you hate.

You call me stupid and then get mad at being called insensitive or was it foolish? Sounds like you need to toughen up a bit. Don't throw stones when you live in a glass house. Unlike you I can read a full comment no prob even if I'm insulted.

First off if you continued to read I acknowledged that not all cops are bad
I understand that the Media is fake and they want tensions high. But people should still be more empathetic all of the high crime areas you talk about *and it's not only high crime areas* should be no excuse for someone that is there who's payed to protect and serve to go in like Rambo shooting to kill. in fact the situations I gave you were not all in high crime areas. in fact not all the people I mentioned were black.

Of all the crime that happens I shouldn't have to worry about the police that take off the taxes I pay out of my hard work I should not have to fear for my safety from the authority they should help fix situations not make them worse and when people are dying the situation is at it's worse no matter who it is... all that potential is now gone. Again who are you to tell me I don't deserve help from something I pay into? The state forbids violence so how can people protect themselves legally?

Don't paint me as a hater, you don't know a thing about me beyond I don't agree with you that people in authority going and killing people should not be hailed as heroes because they claim to have had a reason and they wear a uniform alone.

You wanna fix problem areas get rid of media and encourage more positive action on the people's part. Encourage fathers to take care of their children and encourage women to not sleep around and most people become better and more orderly. Over time. Going in and shooting up people is not a solution to gang violence, fathers and good mothers are that solution.

With all this authority killing people up and not facing justice it's just gonna creates more and more animosity (the media for ex did not follow up on the case where the man shot the woman and the autistic boy you know what they said? the bat made the officer shoot the woman and the boy) and then on top of that people are defending the officers you tell me that isn't gonna piss people off and make them want "war" as you said.

In the end you're being of use to the media no sympathy no care and expectation of the worst.

Sad thing is the evil is gonna be to everyone white men (fathers) already being put out of the homes that's a destruction.

Let's back this down a bit, we do have common ground, people should be civil and as I have stated before plenty of officers make mistakes and are charged and found guilty. The points where we differ are on shoot to kill, anyone that has ever had to defend themselves to include me knows if you shoot you should expect to kill your opponent. That doesn't change just because your weapon, skills and training are better than the other persons, if it was any other way we would be going to an officers funeral. What you might not understand is the higher the crime in an area the quicker you have to decide to shoot or be a victim. The lower the crime in an area the less training the officer might have. That is true for any service, a big city firefighter has to have better equipment and training than a volunteer in a small town (although the volunteer is well trained). The hard truth is Americans are a dangerous people, drive down a busy street and you will see what I mean, they could careless who is hurt because they run a light while putting on makeup and texting. Officers are expected to be polite when dealing with these types of people and move from that call to a high crime area after first stopping to deliver a baby and serving a family and eviction notice. The swings of emotions do not help keep anyone strong, focused or help when the next call that comes in is shots fired, use caution. If you really want to help keep people safer vote republican and demand more officers not less, then you can have additional time, less stress and less accidents. Until then, stop looking for problems that are not problems, over 100000 officers a day deal with the worst people imaginable and cause them no harm. More people will die in a single day by a bad driver than shot by the police in years.

If you really want to help save people, drive them to where they need to be or better yet join the police and try to help change the perception that the police are above the law.
