So you support “Papers, bitte”, over here. Good to know.
I support common sense, and do not support rhetorical or visual excess.
The Nazi picture was a common place event in a police state where ethnic minorities were rounded up. The Watertown incident was a case in which police were looking for a desperate, armed terrorist who had killed a police officer and maimed innocent citizens.
These situations are not at all similar.
No police officer wants to die, especially needlessly. What is the problem with cautiously clearing houses with overwhelming force?
