I pray it never becomes their dog, their wife, their kid, their widowed grandmother.
But these stories are getting out there; increasingly I’ve been noticing that fewer people (save the token cops/cop family members who typically acknowledge being such (or have other posters call out their conflict of interest on their behalf) defend these acts.
I pray the tide will turn soon.
Those who have no qualms about shooting dogs today will soon (if they do not already) have no qualms about shooting people.
Those who defend these cops may be defending the very people who will comprise Obama’s National Security Force.
How about shooting cats. Where does that rank for you? Should I get $600,000 if an errant policeman wings my cat?
Corrections officers are considered “paramilitary”.
Even hubby, who, although he was the prison complex welder/metal fabricator was always ‘on call’ to assume corrections officer duties if necessary.
He had to take the same self defense courses, pass the same shooting tests and would have performed in a ‘paramilitary’ fashion, if needed.
Those are just prison guards.
Imagine how much more power cops will have.
