There is your main problem right there.

Approaching a police officer is now seen as "advancing on" the officer.

The police now see EVERYONE as a potential threat to themselves, not a citizenry that they walk amongst.

There was a Gypsy near Reno who killed a man. His car broke down. He killed the guy who came to help him when he walked up the side of the car.

The NATO backed Serbian leader at the time was pleading to stop the Gypsy from being executed.

Most police are no longer ‘peace officers’; they’re ‘law enforcement’. Different attitude entirely.

Thanks to the war on drugs, illegal immigration and liberal politics the police are no longer “Officer Friendly”.. Instead they are the Jack Booted Thugs of a War Zone in a LOT of areas inside the borders of the United Socialist States...

I have figured out why the anti-gun people are so rabid about it.

Everyday we hear all kind of stories about those individuals who have gone through intensive training on how to evaluate a situation, establish alternative methods of dealing with the events, and then performing the proper response to these conditions.

We also hear how these same individuals randomly shoot and kill people, shoot and kill bystanders, shoot and kill extremely old people (100+ the other day), shoot and kill people who were minding their own business, shoot and kill people in the wrong house, shoot and kill pets, etc., etc., etc.

So the anti-gun idiots believe if the fully trained and rational police are going to do all this shooting and killing, what is going to happen when an ordinary Joe gets a gun? Obviously he/she will start shooting and killing all the time.

And that is another reason for being against the Stand Your Ground laws. It just gives a license to the ordinary Joe to start shooting and killing.

Of course it does not matter that the only stories we hear about the ordinary Joe are where they are defending their property from thugs breaking and entering or car-jacking.

“...but we are going to rise form this as we have from other things,” said Monroe.”

Undoubtedly they will be “...rising from this...” so they may continue to “move forward”. “Nothing to see here any longer. Move along like a good citizen. We’ll review our policies and all will be well.” /s

Another day, another mind wasted.

Tell me what your answer is if he was white, then if he was black.

Did the cop kill the guys dog first? That seems to be the latest thing to do.

Approaching a police officer is now seen as "advancing on" the officer.

Of course moving away is seen as "evading" and an admission of guilt, ya need to be shot for that, too.

But don't think ya can just stand there, that's "confronting" and that attitude justifies shooting.

Just be sure that when there's four or five cops you obey all their different shouted commands at the same time, or they'll all have to shoot ya for failure to obey.

Cripes.....

‘Advancing on a police officer’ is now potentially a lethal decision. Some day police officers may end up getting back aggressive responses from civilians when they ‘advance’ on the civilians, break into the wrong homes, or kill the wrong pets. It is absolutely amazing that, so far, such a move hasn’t been met with an aggressive response towards the ‘advancing’ officers.

they don’t protect and serve me when i’m an automatic suspect. and i am considered that far too often every damn day.

personally the absolute TON of fictional cop’shows on tv do not help the matter by protraying cops doing things they cannot do legally. Gung ho and to hell with the law and guns drawn every ten minutes on tv turns into “I can do that for real,too” on patrol.

and they can. they’re like teachers. almost’impossible to get fired in real life. almost’impossible’to be personally’liable for wrongful deaths. nobody loses pensions to pay restitution, the taxpayers gets screwed again.
