Please consider this. Free Republic is a conservative site (obviously). Except for perhaps a few trolls, we are all law-and-order types. We want to support the police.

Yet many of us here (including me) are skeptical. Something has changed since I was a young man. Police are now ruder, and more willing to escalate. Maybe something is wrong with today’s cops. Or perhaps something is wrong with today’s society that is producing that behavior.

But something is definitely wrong.

Not I. Usually I am on the side of the police in these controversies. But we must be willing to admit that sometimes police do make mistakes. I believe this is one of those times.

Holding a knife should not carry a death sentence. If the woman had been rushing toward the officer with the knife raised, then that is another matter.

After what happened in the summer of 2020 I don’t understand anyone who still supports police. Across the entire country they stood by and watched our cities burn at the behest of their corrupt mayors, and funnelling groups of “back the blue” types into throngs of antifa to be beaten as they looked on, doing nothing. They’re now as militarized as the army with tanks, helicopters, plate carriers, full auto M4s, etc. They don’t even wear police uniforms anymore. They dress and act like occupying soldiers and occupying soldiers like to bully and kill.

The only thing they serve and protect anymore is their pension.

Criticism doesn’t mean hate.

Demanding technical proficiency from those with a badge and gun is not hate.
