Cops here deal with an entirely different type of people. They HAVE to be aggresive... even with bystanders. Bystanders here would cause more trouble than the perp if left uncontrolled.
In 2011 a 90 lb. woman named Fallon Frederick called Rogers AR police from a convenience store. After they arrived, she was cornered in the store and she had a knife and bolted toward the door. They put 3 slugs in her and she died instantly. Not one cop was charged with anything. Make of that what you will.
Cops here don’t try to de escalate. Here a wolf pack of cops would have surrounded the nut job and each would have screamed an array of profanity and countervailing commands. Then opened fire killing the perp, a bystander or two and wounding a few cops.
Really? You think it benefits the police to act like an invading army?
Ten years ago, this site was a lot more willing to give police the benefit of the doubt than they are today. I believed the police have earned the distrust of the citizens. The only thing I'm willing to call a cop about is to fill out paperwork. They are simply too dangerous to have around. I'll take care of my own life, liberty and property.
