Interesting thought.....case law and natural law don’t require attempting less lethal when facing a legitimate threat of death or serious bodily injury.

I don't give a crap about that. Climbing trees with a chainsaw (what I do upon occasion) is over five times as hazardous as being a police officer. Fishing is ten times as hazardous. We don't pay tree climbers and fishermen $200,000 a year with early fat retirements to take those risks. You don't want the risk of that job, then do something else.

\ So you are saying you would want me to take a greater risk to my life than the law says I must.....I won’t do that.

Fine. Quit. We'll find somebody who does.

hey, guess what, not only do I not make 200,000 a year and not have a fat pension and not have medical benefits when I retire but I don’t know anybody that works outside of the stupid state of California that does. I pay into my pension I have to take care of my retirement medical costs just like everybody else Take That and stick it in your hat.

you are example of fishermen and tree cutters who have more dangerous jobs and I do does not correlate. It does not correlate because I am NOT coming and watching you cut the trees and telling you how to do it because I don’t know how to trim a tree I don’t know how to run a fishing boat I don’t L fishing boat operators how to catch fish or pull up crabs because I don’t know how to do that and I am NOT an expert in it.

I wants watch the guy cut a tree I thought it was crazy was doing a terrible job but I didn’t automatically make myself an expert and assume I knew how to do it better.

I also have never seen a tree decide to fight back against the guy with the chainsaw or the crabs rise up and decide they’re not going to be taken alive

it is obvious this is more about your emotions revolving around horrible pension plans in states like California than it is about anything else.

Imagine the tree has a weapon and is trying to cut you back...then the comparison will have some validity.
