If police officers continue to act this way eventually civilians will no longer trust them and start shooting first before the officer shoots. It’s not going to be pretty, but it’s the natural progression that is being driven by those who should know better, IMO.

I’m not trusting them very much right now as it is. They shoot first and ask questions later. Then there’s that a-clown in CT that can’t wait to kick your door down and take your guns away.

it appears that citizens’ lives are in danger anytime police are on the scene. it really is getting that way. shooting homeless people sitting on the ground, shooting homeowners who think their home is being invaded by non-police criminals, shooting people involved in a traffic accident with hands up turning around...

they are going to pick people off one by one before tshtf.

There is a huge gap between not giving a presumption of trustworthiness, and using deadly force. The police and the legal system are not trustworthy, IMO, but use of deadly force is only justified when one reasonably believes he is facing serious injury or death.

The number of times cops use deadly force without justification (and this is a case of that, based on what I've read) is vanishingly small compared with the number of police/serf interactions.
