Yeah, I would let him go and not murder him.

He got a death sentence for contempt of cop.

We the citizens have every right and responsibility to second guess the cops, criticize them, review thier actions to determine if they need to be punished, and tell them what they did wrong. It doesn’t matter if we’re not doing the job. We hired you to do a job, and we want it done our way.

You cops have to just get used to it and back off. Submit to our will or GTFO. Stop being a cop.

“You cops have to just get used to it and back off. Submit to our will or GTFO. Stop being a cop.”

Too many forget we were supposed to create the rules the operate under. That we expect to be treated as citizens, not subjects. Their lives are not worth more than the Constitutional limits of their power.
They forget that we expect cops to died, and even to died because of limits we place on what they can do.
They claim that without using swat, more cops will died serving warrants. They are probably correct. Probably true, but so what? We don’t expect them all to live, but we do expect them to behave in a civil and respectful manner.
We expect them to treat us with dignity, not to invade our home, catching my wife or daughter in the shower and humiliating them because the cops information is three years out of date or wrong address. Or killing innocent people who react out of surprise and shock. Harming innocents emotionally for years while the cops just truck on.
Why should they care? If it isn’t their family, hey.

So no, a cop’s life isn’t my first concerned. Him doing the job we paid for in a reasonable manner is.
So is protecting the lives of the innocent, even at the risk of their own lives, comes ahead of a cop’s life. They took the job and knew the risks. Quit whining or just quit.
