Don't bother hollering at me--you've already demonstrated both your viewpoint and your manner. I won't respond.
I just wanted to post a dissenting opinion, a voice crying in the wilderness. Believe it or not, there are others on FR who agree with my viewpoint.
“Believe it or not, there are others on FR who agree with my viewpoint. “
I know. And it both saddens me and angers me at the same time.
Stupid post. Get lost.
I wonder if you would be so sanctimonious after someone pointed a shotgun at your head
You are correct. However, the number of jackboot lickers such as yourself appears to be dimishing on this forum. Wonder why? Perhaps you enjoy having a loaded shotgun pointed at your head and get a sexual thrill from being ordered out of your vehicle at gunpoint and handcuffed, but most people don’t.
Since the perp was the last person handcuffed how would you have felt about reasonable if he started shooting at the handcuffed people.
We cannot, under any circumstances, allow the police or military to round people up, detain and handcuff them, unless cops have a valid and compelling reason to suspect they’ve committed a crime. This kind of policing is what the Fourth Amendment was created to prevent.

I think this pretty much says it all.
Pointing weapons at the heads of law-abiding innocent citizens is not a “reasonable” way to catch one criminal.
You have just declared that you are willing to accept that your fellow men be threatened with the loss of their lives so that a criminal may be arrested.
That isn’t a biblical stance.
