“as long as police can shoot white people with zero consequences for any reason, this will continue.”

Better?

I think at one time police academies used Adam -12 episodes as training films.

The perp gets a vote on how the encounter gets resolved.

Sometimes the perp wants to live, sometimes they don’t.

well, they shot the estrangeable and hated white male, so, no protests there...

I swear, BLM was a front for a transfer of police responsibility to “white males”. You also had these white college chicks known for calling the cops on blacks at the drop of a hat marching with BLM...

Cops know they can shoot and get away with it when the blue line closes in.

That’s why you get behind the engine block.

I live in very rural Hawaii.
I own cattle. horses, donkeys, et al
I’m responsible for them.
They are pets, but very territorial.
If they don’t know you, you have a problem.
Ever dealt with a pissed off/scared 1400 pound cow?
I’m looking to get some peacocks.
You will lose,
Policeman.

The Home protected by Pit Bulls and German Shepherds. If they make it through the Gauntlet, then you shoot them.

Too many read the headlines first, make a stupid statement, THEN read the article.

You’re taught behind the engine block or wheels.

What they don't teach you is that the shots that penetrate the vehicle can blow shrapnel from the exit points in a 200-degree spread.

If you hang around a vehicle too long, while under fire, you are going to get hit.

Best to keep looking to improve your position.

Here the cops raid the wrong house and terrorize the family:

The title is a joke “Cops regret it immediately”. They didn’t regret it at all. The narrator tells us the “Cops are in trouble”. They aren’t in trouble either. They went back to the station and had a big laugh about it.

“Best to not have a firearm in your hands when police arrive on the scene.”

THIS!

That goes for your gun, the gun you took from a criminal, a bb gun, airsoft, etc. Don’t have a gun in your hand when the cops are arrive.

“Back the Blue until they do it to you.”

I hope you never experience the problems with police I did.

From the video he may not have known police were there.

The caller said...
Said to the 911 operator.
But what did the officers get told? I bet the radio traffic is something like “Man with a gun! Shots fired!”
Just speculation on my part, but that would fit what often happens.
