Agreed, most excuses by police are pretty weak "I have to shoot them the moment they reach cause they could have had a gun and my safety is important so im justified to shoot and kill and ask questions later"....
"Sounds reasonable, we will just give you a pay cut".
As long as I as a citizen can shoot an officer dead the moment he has a hiccup and that logic is applied equally in both directions its fine with me.
So long as the cops can say "I was scared for my life" and I cant, then we have a problem.
@icedquinn @teknomunk @Murray_N @freemo Is #TheRookie an accurate cop show?
because of this exact modern problem of people in martial professions being judged by people who have never been in fights. and people think weird shit like you get to choose a fight or flight response (you don't) and therefore its reasonable to just decide which response ie legal (ex. duty to retreat states.)
