Why are you posting on a conservative website?
You are no doubt confused about where you sit on the political spectrum: you are obviously a totlitarian, one who embraces government rule with total power over unwilling subjects, up to and including the power of life and death for even the smallest infractions, like daring to turn your back and flee from an agent of the State.
Conservatives, on the other hand, are people who embrace small government, minimal taxes, and maximum independence of individual action.
See what I’m saying? You said three times (not sure why you keep repeating yourself?) You think cops should be free to kill anyone who dares flee from them. You are a totalitarian monster straight from an Orwell novel. You’re on the wrong forum.
Thanks for your opinion. You might be surprised how many people agree with me. Conservatives have a deep respect for the rule of law. How many innocent people do you know who run from a police officer?. This police officer had done nothing out of line with Mr. Scott. You may think it is fine for a police officer to be assaulted, but as someone who has stood by her best friend at the grave of her son, who was killed in the line of duty pursuing a criminal, I have a differnt take on it.
I said a police officer should have the authority to shoot a fleeing suspect. They are taught to try to wound without killing in order to apprehend a suspect. In this case, a sane person who had been shot would have stopped after the first bullet hit him. If he had he would be alive.
Conservatives do not embrace breaking the law.
We don’t live in a totalitarian society. Our laws do not reflect that. We have more laws on the books to protect ciminals in many cases than we do to protect their victims.
Parents teach your kids to respect and obey police officers Do not teach your kids comtempt for authority.
If every household would teach this, our crime rate would drop drastically. In the meantime, don’t expect me to be a bleeding heart over anyone who does what Mr. Scott did.
