The protocol is their safety above all else, especially yours, citizen. Rights be damned. This story illustrates that quite nicely. Besides, the courts have ruled that the function of the police is to clean up the mess afterwards, not actually protect you.
So what dance of joy do you do when you hear an officer died in the line of duty? You support the criminals which means you think people should get a medal if they shoot an officer.
And every single person who hates the police would throw a baby in front of a gang member and go cower in the corner.
Nobody with an ounce of common decency hates the police.
Yes there are bad apples but only scumbags hate the police.
Which 'right' are you talking about?
