“You are in denial.”
Sounds like you are... Or else your just a boot licker.
I've been accused of being a cop hater on other threads. I think it means that when I say that no hard and fast rule applies in the heat of conflict, I cut against someone else trying to apply one hard and fast rule for any conflict, pro-or-anti-cop.
I've been accused of being a cop hater by those who believe that priorities #1, #2, and #3 are that the cop gets to go home at the end of his shift, and if a few innocent eggs have to be broken along the way...so be it. I'm against most of the SWAT deployment I read about and I see too many instances of innocents killed by no-knock, shoot-and-ask questions-later forcible entries.
Your rules of engagement have a down side...you refuse to acknowledge them. If a PD has a ban on high speed chases, for example, any hardened criminal has his template for escape.
If a PD has a ban on shooting unarmed perps, regardless of the threat they pose, what's to keep one from walking away? When they are found, perhaps because of a traffic stop, how much crime will have been committed along the way?
You seem to be blind to the mindset of an increasingly hardened criminal class.
I live in a suburb of Seattle. From my vantage point I can see the downside of rules such as yours. Though seemingly put in place to build public support, it has the opposite effect as criminals seemingly run the town.
