You would much rather risk being killed by the cops or a SWAT Team who are acting under the guise of exigent circumstances, furtive gestures or information obtained via a criminal informant?
The pendulum swings both ways.
You really don’t have a clue what I believe or don’t.
I think our society has gone SWAT crazy. I don’t believe in quite a bit that is taking place. I’m am perfectly willing to address problem areas. I am not in lock step behind everything the police do.
The place to address what police do, is not to hate the individual officer. It’s to make it so hot for the local city council and managers that they reign in the attack dog portion of their police departments.
If a particular officer is known to be a very problematic guy, then by all means take it to the police chief and the city council and get the guy or guys reigned in. If they won’t do anything, then wage a war against them. Get them removed. Get new people in there who are more sane on such matters.
