The fact that they were responding to a 911 call creates a tactical situation.

I think therein lies the problem. Police used to police, now they are responding to tactical situations.

From Mirriam-Webster:

------------------------------

Police (v.)

to control (something) by making sure that rules and regulations are being followed

------------------------------

It used to be that when the police showed up, they were the cool heads ready to calm everything down, assess the situation, and keep order. Now when they arrive, someone is going to jail at the very least. They are there to kick butt, knock heads, and take no crap or nonsense. They come in with an adversarial attitude and full of adrenalin. They come into a tactical situation, and therefore they are primed to fight their way out of it.

I fully support both body cams and dash cams for all officers, for the protection of both law enforcement and the citizenry.

And that lays at the feet of Obama and BLM..and Soros. The cops fear for theirs lives and know they are in the crosshairs of a radical movement that will assassinate them.

I am an old white lady but if a cop stops me I am going to over cooperate just for my safety. They are on edge.
