Yes. I have been afraid for my life. Several times. and I still think this officer was in the wrong.
Every other officer on the scene behaved professionally. One did not. And that’s the one you defend. And you wish he had “gotten rid of some trash”? Sickening.
Damn right I am defending him. He went home alive today, and not in a body bag. If he had not pulled his gun there is a good chance those two thugs would have hurt or killed him. Maybe he overreacted, but at least he survived. Nobody has the right to rush at a police officer like that. What the hell do you think they were up to? Do you think they wanted to give him a pat on the back? Would it have made you happy if those two men had hurt or killed that officer. Do you think they were running towards him for a good reason. I grow tired of all this defending of bad behavior. The place to fight the police is in the courts not on the street. If you run at a cop and he shoots you, then tough s#it.
