I’m with a guy further down. A gun pointed at my head isn’t a small issue. You’ve placed their life in danger, without cause. Accidental discharges happen, and cops aren’t generally held liable for it. cops have become entirely too comfortable with the threat of lethal force.

When cops feel they can treat me that way, I’d just as soon let one bleed to death as help him.
