My sentiments exactly! The consensus, on this thread, appears to be that homicidal cops lie in wait for valiant citizens to assert their rights in order to wantonly gun-them-down. I say, reach-down, grab-a-hold of yourselves and end this whiney hysteria, which defies logic!
My wise, law-abiding, productive, independent-minded, self-reliant folks told me a long time ago: Many times, the only difference between a cop and a criminal is the uniform.
At least 10 years later, I was arrested by a cop who tore his own uniform and blamed it on me in order to get sympathy from the judge. The judge must have already known this guy was a bad apple, because he didn't buy it and knew that my perplexed surprise at the question, "When did you tear his uniform?" was genuine.
Bad cops are WORSE than criminals. I think that these cops need to go to jail at the very least. Frankly, I find myself hoping somebody shoots the bastards.
And the LEO who is no different then a law abiding citizen (other than the fact he's a cop) is somehow more trust worthy with a gun than you?
