Then naive fits. I worked the trenches for over 20 years. Hold police accountable for their actions if criminal, otherwise let them do their job.
Rather than naive, principled. I know that people can change and I know that it is not likely that they will. I don’t agree with mowing people down. Did you watch the video in this thread that Papa Bear posted? It was of police work done appropriately in South America, two cops and a dude with a knife you could really see in the video. Much more threatening. But the cops were athletic, active, smart and fought the guy, disarmed him, cuffed him and called the medics. That’s what should have happened here. Suggest you watch it to see what I have in mind.
