Uninformed? I know about equal protection before the law and I know that police swear an oath to defend and protect principles like that...and you think I’m wrong because I think those principles apply to them, too?
You’re shaking your head because I object to people who think they’re more equal than other Americans?
You shake your head all you want. I’ll bow mine in prayer asking God to open the eyes of people like yourself who’ve forgotten what it means to be an Amnerican.
SMH because you have no understanding that the job requirements make them different (not special) because of what we ask them to do in protecting and securing our freedoms. Sometimes these different requirements are more stringent than on Joe Citizen but Joe C. also isn't asked to respond to domestic calls (what the officer was dispatched to) and what they find en route. Courts have established the criteria, officers are trained, and then expected to act to protect themselves, innocent citizens, and those they contact to resolve multiple kinds of incidents.
Your responses remind me of an observation by George Orwell that was turned into this: "We sleep safely in our beds because rough men stand ready in the night to visit violence on those who would harm us."
Google "Dinkheller video" and find out why officers are trained to be wary about a person returning to their vehicle. WARNING: Graphic audio
