“Those issues are very much part of this thread, as the liberaltarians are the ones in here playing the cop-hating game. Cop-hating and moral vice tend to go hand in hand.
So how about it? Abortion? Same-sex ‘marriage’? Drug use? Fornication? Adultery? Pornography? God? What about it?”
No one here is hating cops. They are hating the idea that some cops will break down doors, or shoot the moment they see someone with a gun - since, after all, many of us carry guns.
“Abortion? Same-sex ‘marriage’? Drug use? Fornication? Adultery? Pornography? God? What about it?”
OK.
Abortion - opposed.
Same sex marriage - if it is same sex, it isn’t marriage.
Drug use - don’t.
Drug war - I’m giving you a freebie here...good intentions, but poorly done.
Adultery - opposed.
Fornication - opposed.
God - yes.
Now, does any of that make it a good idea to serve a warrant on college admissions using the force one expects with an armed bank robber? No.
Does it mean SWAT should shoot anyone they see with a gun, after forcibly entering a home without serious attempts at identifying themselves and giving someone a chance to open the door peaceably? No.
If I heard a commotion at my front door, I’d grab my 44 and go take a look. I shouldn’t be shot by someone breaking down my door, who assumes I am guilty and who feels free to kill me serving a warrant for an activity that doesn’t carry a death penalty anyways...
Some of us dislike that cops tend to shoot Labs who "charge" or bark at them. Even those Labs on property merely adjacent to the one at issue. It's totally retarded to shoot a Lab (unless you are Sargent (Mr. Ed) Schultz).
