So what would have happened if she went ou into her own backyard with a pistol because she heard a noise, bumped into a cop, and shot him?
Do you think it would end with her saying “I’m sorry, you startled me”?
Even if the cop lived? What do you think would happen to her?
We need equal legal liabilities and results for cops and civilians in firearms cases, when the shooting was out of self-defense.
EQUAL.
There is ZERO reason not to have this equality, except the claim that an officer’s life is worth more than a civilian’s life. If it is - or if the law says it is - then let it be said OUT LOUD, for the public to hear.
Some animals are “ more equal” than others......and when you add up the pay, bennies and pensions many LEO’s enjoy....society...We the People...have quite a bit invested in each.
The same local government s enabling it are not about to upset them?
Look what happens in Orange County , California....

Out loud? What do you mean by out loud? Are you kidding me Talisker?
It's been in the news, on the books and loudly proclaimed law for years. They are worth way more than us.
So much so that, just ACCIDENTALLY kill a police dog, yes, DOG, and see what happens!
The husband of our niece on my wife’s side had to appear in court today because drug agents appeared in his driveway in an unmarked car without a license plate and refused to identify themselves or leave the premises. He fired a warning shot which was a big mistake, he was arrested and spent the night in jail and who knows what the final outcome will be. I suppose he is lucky not to have been shot dead. He lives at the end of a quarter mile of dirt road but the agents claimed they were on a public road because there is more than one house on the road. Actually everyone on that stretch belongs to the same family and the county does not maintain it. They drive up not only in an unmarked car but with no license plate visible and refuse to say who they are but he is at fault according to them. I say legalize the damned drugs and stop this crap if this is the best they can do. Let the idiots who want drugs destroy their own lives and stop destroying the lives of those who don’t use drugs on the pretense of fighting a war on drugs.
