I’ve been on both sides of a gun greeting. Waiting prevented a tragic event both times. And my only bar is that the fear needs to be reasonable. There are a lot of shootings, like the Dorner hunt, that aren’t reasonable and didn’t get punished.

Reasonable is a subjective judgment. In the case of law enforcement, such judgments must be made within seconds or fractions thereof. We have internal police investigations and the courts to hold them accountable.

You continue to generalize about a "lot of shootings that aren't reasonable and didn't get punished." How do you define "a lot"? How widespread is this and what percentage of total police shootings fit your categorization? In sum, what are you basing your assertions on?

Hahaha. What a joke. Internal investigation is an oxymoron. Those same entities gave the shooters in the Dorner hunt a complete pass. In what world were their actions reasonable?

I’m using my phone, so I can’t type out the ones I know of right now. I’ll try and get back to you on them.

But the truth remains the same. The public will accept only so much. You might notice that people are getting angry.
