You are a far more generous person if you can believe that crap about drawing a gun and thinking it was a taser. Increasingly I view cops as just another street gang.

You have a lot of people who agree with you. I for one am very disturbed at local law enforcement becoming para-military in nature, and treating citizens as some foreign enemy. I've seen it close up. I do not support this.

On the other hand, not all cops are bad, and many cops believe it or not, agree with me in regards the WOD for instance. It's done nothing but expand the size of government, while increasing their control, allowing them to become more intrusive. While at the same time, creating epic violent crime industries who make a good living off drugs.

What the WOD won is bigger more intrusive government and government job security, all at the expense of the tax payers.

In regards to the CA subway incident, yes it's possible the LEO drew his service weapon thinking it was his taser...I know, hard to believe, but possible in the heat of an arrest with an uncooperative suspect. As I said, we're all human, who knows.

But this incident seems very different. There was no arrest in progress, an unarmed suspect and based on witness accounts so far, no apparent fight, no pushing, no nothing, with the victim being shot to death.

BTW, based on what I have read here and elsewhere, since they were allegedly playing darts, the only speculation I have is the victim might have threatened the LEO with a steel dart. I don’t know. It’s just pure speculation on my part.

Would this justify it? Don’t know. Hopefully the investigation will reveal exactly what occurred, considering the sport bar had 20-30 people inside at the time.
