You notice how when the police do something outrageous, we're always told that the victims "demand answers"?
I mean, if someone held you up and stole your wallet, and punched you in the nose would you you "demand answers"?
...Or would you want the guy arrested or punished?
So, the police get a report on a loose pit bull acting aggressively...officer called to scene...the pit rushes the officer and gets to within 2 yards of the officer.
And the officer did something outrageous?
That’s like saying the Boston marathon bombing victims were outrageously throwing their limbs and bone fragments at people.
Most people have no clue about the regularity of this phenomenon, and many people are still convinced that the cops are their friends and exist to serve and protect them (besides, only liberals dare voice concerns about the actions of the police).
Imagine the initial shock you would feel if your best friend, who you’ve known for years, turned around and killed your dog/child/spouse/significant other out of the blue, without cause.
You’d be perfectly cognizant that a crime was committed, but you’d also feel a huge sense of betrayal.
That is, I think, in part what the victims of these crimes feel-—a tenet of their very worldview has been shaken (cops are the good guys, and should be trusted).
