Every time a policeman initiates an arrest or pursues a suspect it is in some sense “pursuing a confrontation”. That’s what we pay the police to do.
LOL “if only Slager had stayed in his car”
Interestingly, the Founding Fathers saw no need to "pay the police" to "pursue confrontations" with the former citizens, who are now apparently feudal peasants.
As one police booster posted, there are some 900,000 police in the United States.
That's one law enforcement person for every 350 peasants. If that law enforcement person is a Slager, then each one of his "charges" could be "confronted" once a year.
That's great for the revenue bottom line!
Wonder how the Founders got along without the Confrontration Club dangling above their heads every minute of the day?
It's pretty plain that many here are quite comfortable with this state of affairs, however...
Remember, folks - this is a Constitutional website, not a Great Big Giant Police State booster website. :)
