If guns are outlawed, only outlaws will have guns, and those outlaws will be cops
Statistically speaking, the biggest murders in Utah are cops.
There have been more deaths caused by police shootings than by gang members, drug dealers or from child abuse in the past five years in Utah, according to The Salt Lake Tribune.
This year alone, the Tribune reported, police shootings have claimed more lives than violence between spouses or partners, for a total of 13 deaths. A toll, which includes 22-year-old Darrien Hunt who was fatally shot by police in September.
It’s OK if the cop is scared though. You forgot that bit. And since they tell each other how scary and dangerous the job of policing is the excuse for murder is nicely baked in.
And all the law and order people think its fine for the cops to murder the general population
I urge you to read the article Jason linked to… there are some quotes in there that are very telling. Basically, what mouse said above. Apparently If the people would just roll over and comply with whatever the police say or do… and stop scaring them… the cops wouldn’t need to murder the people.
It’s institutionalized victim-blaming.
They are taught to keep shooting until the shootee goes down. That’s bullshit. All it does is rub out a witness to testify against them.
I’ve been threatened by cops, gun in the face, the whole nine yards. So has my wife. I steer clear of cops, they are not my friend, they neither protect nor serve me. Never talk to them as they will try to incriminate you for anything they can, it’s what they do. As for the “law and order” types they disgust me, their out for revenge and brutality bothers them not. That is until it’s their turn.
My brother in law cop says that no fewer than 50% of cops are in it because they get off on the power trip.
No indictment in Ferguson 🙁
What an absurd mockery of justice.
Our military has stricter rules of engagement than the police. I have come to distrust the police and can’t imagine calling them in any but the most extreme of circumstances. If you want to know what police think of the people they are not legally obligated to protect and serve, go read their comments on the law enforcement websites like PoliceOne.com.
Also, police need to be tested for steroids.
Police are often exmilitary. Guys who like combat, i.e., who like to kill. Many work out obsessively and employ steroids which makes a psycho violent monster even more of one..
Bingo on the steroid check. Those county cops don’t even look right.
