This happened in Dallas.
More than once it’s happened.
Face it, Police should be retrained and held accountable.
They are trained that anyone within 20 feet (whether they hold a weapon or not) is a danger to their lives, because the person can close the distance in just a second or two...
They need to quit accepting cowards and bullies and stop training shoot first.
FACTS.
That does not mean there are MANY, MOST cops who are great. It means the system has failed us in hiring and training.
In the old days, FOUR cops would billy club him down, take his “metal object”, cuff/hog tie him, and toss him in the paddy wagon. On the morning after, the perp would still be alive, and the cops would still have a job, there would be no rioting if the perp was black, and the vast majority of people would still support the cops.
Disgusting. Completely pathetic.
No, shoot the shit out of the criminals. The public pays 10’s of thousands of dollars to train police. They are Our INVESTMENT towards a civil society.
