There’s a difference between shooting a guy coming at you with a knife with full obvious intent to kill you, vs liquifying a guy (and gloating about it) you know is carrying a mere pellet gun.
Not according to current Policy policy. Both are considered to be ‘a threat’, and like this incident, the cops have no smaller a cheerleading squad for the liquefying of the schitzo’s face than they do for those that killed this knife-wielder.
Same bunch of rah-rah types cheer and applaud MRAPs being used for domestic law enforcement.
They are gonna cheer the police state until the day comes they find themselves at the wrong end of it. But then, it will be too late for them, they assisted in helping it come into institutional being.
It’s a small jump from IRS intimidation, punishment and harassment of political opponents to using Law Enforcement to act as Enforcers for the Ruling Class, and we are within a hairsbreadth from that being reality.
