Is America's gun culture putting pressure on police to shoot first? [More]I knew this was mostly our fault, because that's the same argument Garry McCarthy uses to justify murdering pesky citizens exercising their rights.
That's what they do in "progressive" societies, don't they?
Allegedly-free men own tools such as guns, so therefore "public servants"/hirelings/employees/underlings who are supposedly employed (mistakenly and unfortunately) by us for us automatically get to discard common sense and adherence to basic Rules Of Engagement & Use Of Force Continuum tenets against us??! Cuckoo! Cuckoo! And WE are the so-called gun NUTS??! Sigh!
ReplyDeleteOne commentor wanted to know how many cops were killed by criminals each yea, like is was going to be in the hundreds. So I went and found him his answer. I hope he chokes on it.
ReplyDeleteWay more pizza delivery guys (and gals) are assaulted and some killed than cops killed in the line of duty. I'll have to see if I can find that number. I do know that that job is a lot higher on the list of dangerous jobs than being a cop.
In 2013, 31 were shot and 2 stabbed. There was a total of 100 LEO deaths last year. Most were vehicle and other accidents.
