“What we saw was the ugly of white cops. I don’t even try to defend them anymore. Now I just want 50% of cops to flat out have their guns taken away and they’re to conduct police work without them. The other 50% with guns can wait around the precincts and patrol areas waiting for back up calls.”
Ok, so you hate cops. Been stopped a few times, perchance? Where did your abnormal hatred of cops come from, I wonder. And your prescription for cops above will leave society with nothing but anarchy. If you are ever in a tough and threatening position, make sure to never call the cops. Then RIP.
That’s an easy game you picked. It’s called ‘let’s make absurd assumptions’.
So you’re a cop lover. Big ones? Little ones? same sex? opposite sex? Do you like the blue uniformed ones like NYC or do you like the ones in tight Khakis with calf high patent leather boots and aviator sunglasses like you find out west?
You have a collection of video’s of police shootings and beatings that you frequently watch? Do you have every kick, punch and baton beats of Rodney King’s beating memorized? Do you have a framed photo of Vicki Weaver being shot by a sniper while unarmed and holding her child? Did you add a laugh track to the video of the Miriam Carey being shot by Whitehouse police?
Did it send shivers up your spine when you watched the video of the 33 year old Charleston cop gunning down a 51 year old pudgy black man waddling away as fast as he could? Did the officer who dramatically paused, took careful aim with a double cupped grip and present his profile to the target and squeezed off the ‘kill shot’ into the man’s back, arouse you?
Take the guns away from 50% of the cops. That will give them a much needed attitude adjustment. While we’re at it, lets do away with no knock 4:00 am warrants, cavalier asset forfeiture. Confiscating of and never returning legally owned guns, Harassing witnesses for taking cell videos, setting up confiscation road blocks during regional crises, and choking to death scofflaw violators.
