from the time the deputies saw Lopez until Gelhaus began shooting was nineteen seconds. So as you can see, this was a very calm and reasoned approach to a possibly dangerous individual. (Do I have to say /sarc here?)

Isn't it curious that civilian police within the USA operates as if they are soldiers that occupy a foreign, hostile land and shoot citizens on sight for any offense that is real or imagined?

Isn't it also curious that US soldiers that occupy a foreign, hostile land act as civilian police officers, afraid to aim their unloaded guns at the attacker?

“Isn’t it curious.....”

We need “Like” and “Share” buttons for posts like yours.

These are my exact sentiments, and I’m sure there are many others who think the same way. But more people need to get the message; the cops’ ROE and the military’s ROE are backwards.

Our troops have far stricter ROEs than our LEOs. It should be the other way around. However, we are now under the thumb of the socialists (and, yes, our government has become socialist).
