Correct.

I am not a fan of the ROE. You missed my point.

I have friends who were soldiers in Iraq, and then became LEO’s (till they lost the stomach for it).

Cops have pretty much a free license to fire. One of my friends was told by his partner to keep the bodycam covered, so they can be “more effective”. That is at best a massive failure of integrity, and one that these Sacramento cops seem to share.

My friend as an Army solider, had a lot of training on the rules of engagement, law of war, and how to try to defuse situations. As a cop, he said the standards were not only lower, but at times 180 degrees at odds.

It isn’t only black men getting shot. Any interaction with a cop now, no matter how minor, risks instance death with no consequences to the shooter. I mean we have people getting “SWATED”, and getting shot unarmed when they show up to the wrong house!

Something needs to change.

If you run from cops to the point of needing a helicopter to track you, your chances of being shot are already pretty high.

As a law abiding citizen, you run, we gun.

I feel bad for this family. Not sorry, just bad. Their pain is the result of their very stupid behavior.
