Why is a gun being pulled out in either of these cases?
1. Subdue the man and handcuff him. There are two officers on top of the Baton Rouge man.
2. With the tail light situation, why pull out a gun at all? He informed the officer he was licensed to carry and was attempting to provide his ID.
I don’t like the BLM riots and leftists. But every citizen should have Constitutional rights protected - jackass, black, whatever.
Giving the State unlimited power is NOT a conservative position. Thinking it’s okay because you think you or your family won’t be the victims is also wrong.
ANY person of ANY race can be on the wrong side of a bad actor acting under color of the law.
And in fact, it's the antithesis of one.
Those of us disgusted with the killing of LaVoy Finicum in Oregon are listening.
“He informed the officer he was licensed to carry and was attempting to provide his ID.”
See I missed that. This is getting worse and worse.
I think too many unqualified people are becoming police officers. It takes a certain badass attitude to be able to master a situation and intimidate a perp without filling him full of lead. Guys like this officer seem to be so scared from the outset that they are ready to start shooting from the get-go. These are the same guys who kill family dogs because "they approached them in a threatening manner". They simply are not police officer material.
