The only place that police face "these dangers everyday" is on TV. Being a cop is nowhere near as dangerous as the TV shows would have you believe. Just about any construction worker has a more dangerous job. There are too many "no-knock" or dynamic entries for anyone's safety. They are like little boys dressing up and playing war.
I think the kid's about to bite him. Good thing he's wearing tactical gloves!

Where are the Ninjas when there are real people with real guns like Columbine? Oh, outside hiding in the parking lot.

Don't get me wrong I support our police. I just don't support the Barney Fife misfits that want to emulate Gestapo tactics.

Such behavior opens the door to copycats.

you obviously do not live in a high crime city... what I am talking about is the reality on the streets here in phoenix.... and lets face it to deny the fact that there are not dangerous people here in the US is being blind to the facts... if a cop goes and knocks on an ms-13 gang house anywhere here in the US they are dead.... We have had officers here in Phoenix shot point blank in broad daylight by gang bangers from Mexico..... but you believe they should be given fair notice...

this is not a safe world... never has been never will be.... if you sit there and believe that officers putting themselves at a tactical disadvantage is going to save lives or stop these people from doing what they are doing you are in denial.

btw nice pic of a FEDERAL office defiantly overreacting during the Clinton admin....

“Where are the Ninjas when there are real people with real guns like Columbine? Oh, outside hiding in the parking lot.”

do you know anything of armed response and how to approach it safely...
r
you comment about columbine.... is o a ad hoc attack on those officers... they knew that more than 10 people had been shot... you don't go rushing into a situation like that you get you Intel and attack it logically and safely that will limit that amount of damage/casualties you take.. both for those being held captive and your own forces...

but it appears by your comments that you have the TV version of what cops are in your reality vs. what man others of us see/experience on a daily basis....

perhaps if you red the FBI crime statistics and other police and law enforcement information about what is going on in some parts of our country it may afford you a better understanding of the reality of the world around us and not seeing it as a fairy tale world...
