Still ticked off about that traffic ticket from 10 years ago?
I do know a former cop personally, and the uniform makes cops a target. They never know when someone has the intention of doing them harm and frequently have to make split second decisions that could mean the end of their lives or that of a citizen.
Here’s a challenge for those who second guess the cops. Have someone face away from you holding one thing that represents a gun and another that represents a harmless item. Have that person turn quickly around and you decide to “shoot” or not in that amount of time. See how often you guess wrong and either “shoot” the innocent or get shot by the gun. Think about how much more difficult this would be in a real life-or-death situation with adrenaline flowing.
“See how often you guess wrong and either shoot the innocent or get shot by the gun.”
Since they get the big bucks to take that risk and are paid to protect the public, this was a coward cop that shouldn’t have been in that job.
