So they’re shooting people over there now not because of any actual, immediate threat but because some cop got scared and thought the guy might present a threat in the future?
And you think this is a good precedent?
I guess its not really a precedent - I hear they’ve been routinely slotting family dogs for the same reason for quite some time.
The brutality and arrogance that people in the US seem willing to put up with from the police never ceases to amaze me. When I lived in Cali, the Modesto police shot a 15 year old kid in the back in a stolen car who was driving away from a traffic. His “crime” was bumping into the police car before taking off.
If that or countless other incidents had happened in the relatively sedate UK where I live, there would be blood, fire and ashes in the streets for a few days, the cops involved would find themselves sitting in the cells. In Greece they’d probably be hanging anything with a badge on from the lamp posts.
Guess it’s good that you live across the pond, where Muslims and other foreigners have helped your courts and parliament to become so weak.
We don’t put up with that crap here in Texas and most of the US between the East and West coastal States. We do have weapons and the right of self defense; whether a law enforcement officer or a private citizen. Shocking, huh?
