Whenever I hear about a cop needlessly shooting others I remember Columbine HS. The armed cops sat outside while the unarmed students were inside; the cops cared more for their own safety than that of anyone else.
Same thing happened at the "Gun Free Zone" called Virginia Tech. The gunman was on the loose for over an hour and the cops did nothing. After the tragedy it also came out that the head of campus police had testified against a bill to allow students to concealed carry on campus. Needless to say, his position didn't change any.
The only people cops "protect" are their own. And the only thing they "serve" is themselves, out of your wallet.
Exactly. The cops’ only function is to write traffic summonses and respond to events after the fact to write a report and collect OT.
