You really just want to be evil to someone, don’t you?
For arguments sake, I will agree that he was looking for someone to shoot and wanted an excuse. So why give him one? If I am laying there like a sack of potatoes, not moving, not speaking, barely breathing, they have no excuse.
I live, maybe I can get him in trouble, or fired, for being abusive. But dead, I can do nothing.
And after nine deployments, I think I have a pretty good track record of making the right choices. Although there are a couple of places in the world where I have left some bodily fluids. Just not all of them.
You see that is where you are wrong. And that is what I am trying to explain to you.
And somehow that is "evil".
No, it is reality.

Until the point that some police officer decides that, in his opinion, you did not. And then you will become just another psycho vet who refused to obey the nice police officer.
Heaven save us from “scared” cops. They seem to be a bigger threat to law abiding citizens than drug dealers who for the most part kill other drug dealers.
