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
“Google “Dinkheller video” and find out why officers are trained to be wary about a person returning to their vehicle.”
Cops are also trained to order people BACK into their vehicles.
So in some situations a person stands a pretty good chance of getting killed because what one officer orders them to do can conflict with what another officer was trained to prevent.
Bottom line is that police are accustomed to being able to blame whoever they want for something. And now there’s video cameras everywhere and they’re not getting away with making stuff up about the people they kill, arrest, or beat.
Seriously, if you encounter a cop and that cop wants to put you in jail even though you did nothing wrong then you’re going to jail. I hope you never experience that kind of thing but I have and it left a mark.
