Full title too long, here's the rest: "when he reported van stolen to stop teenager from buying cigarettes"

Yeah...paging (Historian) Miss Goodwin.
“You shoot to terminate the other party.”
I don’t mean to be contentious, but it was never my understanding that the usual police procedure was “shoot to kill”.
There are tough decisions to be made with some of these ‘out of control’ kids.
Just this past weekend I had a pet sit job to do. Showed up Saturday evening to get the dog, strange car in the driveway and young kid in the house watching the TV. Kid matched the photo on the fireplace mantel so I figured he was family. BUT...NO ONE IS SUPPOSED TO BE THERE.
Kid took his duffle bag and beat feet out the door with lots of stutters and stammering. Of course I called the dad to let him know the kid was there. Dad acknowledged the kid and ‘reason’ for being there.
I got back the next morning at 6:30am to find 6 cars and a dozens teenagers in the house. My ‘mommy-sense’ said to go back the night before to check on the house, but it wasn’t my kid. And ...what should I have done if I had actually caught them at their ‘party.’ A bunch of high-school kids, unsupervised, in a house that isn’t supposed to be occupied, and the kid doesn’t live there? I had already called the Dad the night before. So I sent a simple text message to the Dad. Son...SLEEPOVER AT YOUR HOUSE and left.
But ...what should have happened? I would have loved to have called the cops and had the dozen or so kids arrested for criminal trespass. A bunch of underage teenagers...where the hell were their parents to begin with...kids out all night long?
So thats a yes?
Everyone is corrupt so whats the big deal, right?
This esteemed lady historian, along with 400 other noted 'historians', signed her name to a NYT full-page testament that “a blow job is not an impeachable offense.”
Police dogs have not yet been trained to shoot suspects on command.
But I'll bet they're working on that now.

We’re supposed to respect authority because it is acting under legitimate authority, the Constitution, and ultimately, God.
What we’re seeing now is “respect our authority even if we’re acting illegitimately, or we’ll shoot you.”
It's certainly more dangerous to be a citizen or a dog, but I really don't see a lot of news stories about cops dying in the streets. Sorry, but being a cop isn't a particularly dangerous job. If you want real danger, try being a pizza deliveryman, or a cab driver.
The most dangerous place for a cop to be is standing beside the road collecting taxes for the police state. Not because anyone particularly targets them, but because accidents happen.
Oh, give it a break. There is plenty of blame to go around here.
So, I’m saying that it’s at least as much Dads fault, kids fault and cops fault. 33% each and 1% someone elses fault.
If the kid hadn’t been an dumbass he’d still be alive.
If dad hadn’t been a dumbass, the kid would still be alive.
And, If the cop hadn’t shot the kid he would still be alive.
Satisfied?
well at least the cop went home safe
That doesn't call for respect.
It calls for fear.
And contempt.
They were the ones to decide it's us vs them.
In the end, it's only going to be us. 'Them' will be destroyed.

Fact are over the past several decades, government intentionally flooded the U.S. with tens of millions of illegals who have totally compromised and undermined elections at every level...It's created an huge industry of fraud.
Most Americans were probably preoccupied with TV or sports and just failed to notice these country killing events.
I'm not inclined to participate in armed insurrection or incite others to. It might be myopic to only seek solutions in redress demands and leadership change but those are the options.
