“That’s anarchy.”

Anarchy is also shooting at the cop first because you assume that if you don’t, you are dead anyway.

If we can’t trust people who we have empowered to carry guns and to use them legally in the upholding of the law...well, it’s game over.

What do you mean “shooting at the cop first because you assume that if you don’t, you are dead anyways”. That cop was being 100% polite and professional to Scott during the traffic stop. Scott had no rational reason to be afraid in any manner or feel physically threatened. Then HE turned it into a chase, physical altercation and grabbing at the cop’s taser.

Again, I don’t think the cop acted appropriately and apparently let the heat of the moment and adrenaline keep him acting with a cool head. I’m not defending him or think that he should be allowed to remain on the police force. But this was not outright murder or racial discrimination and that is what the left is claiming it to be.

Exactly right. Well stated. Post of the day.
