How many of these incidents do you need to see? This here is reality. This is why cops have to be alert and can't just trust people.
Have you ever talked to a cop about what they see at night and what they respond to? It sounds like you do, but you don't get the distrust. Here's why- Any cop in America is 10 seconds on duty away from being Darren Wilson. A cop can go from responding to providing needed care for an infant to getting an alert about a robbery in progress and stopping two people who fit the description and then having a 6'4 292lb person attack your squad car and you take action to defend yourself when he charges you. You were just attacked and defended yourself on duty- what does Wilson get?
Wilson's prize for having life endangered and doing what he was trained to do in a crap job in a lousy community is a FAKE news narrative pushed by athletes, journos, liars in the community, activists, and so on that he just murdered a man with his hands up. He gets cartoons depicting him as a klansman. The community he was protecting gets burned, looted, and destroyed. His home address gets exposed. His career ruined. He gets multiple prosecutors hell-bent on charges investigating him and they find NONE. The man gets demonized on TV for weeks and then has multiple US Senators and this future veep framing him as a murderer for years after multiple investigations cleared him of wrongdoing.
Any cop in America could be Darren Wilson doing the correct thing when attacked by a criminal and because we have a society that doesn't give two shits about accountability and treats criminals as martyrs. We don't punish kids in schools and have raised a whole generation to think that they will be chased by cops and to develop a victim mentality.
This is why smart cops quit responding so fast in these cities and the crime rates surged. They didn't want to have to do their damn job and become a CNN target. No meaningful conversation will occur anytime soon on race and policing because the radicals have turned this into something crazy that it is not. Now every city in America needs to be boarded up every time some gang member with a gun puts himself in a shit position with a cop.
The militarization of the police is something that actually alarms me as well. It was first alarming to me when the city of Boston turned into something resembling Fallujah to chase the bombing suspect. #BostonStrong was kind of a joke in reality. Cops shouldn't look like stormtroopers. Granted, we need security when people board up and lock people in federal buildings try to burn them, and handle out-of-control riots. Normal cops don't need to look like soldiers and don't need tanks, minesweepers, crazy gear, and all that jazz. We need a line between normal and emergency response.
This kind of response to shut down a bar in America is insane.
We saw last summer how dangerous riots grow out of control and cops lose control of cities. People trapped in homes and businesses approached by violent (YES VIOLENT) rioters who had 911 calls unanswered and not responded to is insanity. Unanswered 911 calls on highways shut down by violent protestors beating and assaulting people should never be acceptable, but we need a police force capable of preventing this and not one that looks like the Marine Corps. It's a tricky balance, but something we need to answer and something I have zero confidence in Democrats who frame people like Darren Wilson as murderers (wholeheartedly rejecting our justice system in the process) or call for defunding, eliminating policing, ending incarceration to solve.
Record gun sales suggest I am not alone in this thought and it will only get worse because we are drifting further from the solution, not towards it. We are certainly headed towards a summer of violence. Things are only going to get worse from here and it is our responsibility to defend ourselves appropriately, raise our kids to not be Daunte Wright or Lil Homicide engaged in crime and fleeing cops, not shove minors with rifles in dangerous riot conditions, and to work towards the conversations we need to have.
Wrong, if you value justice and our systems history and foudnation then cops killing citizxens extrajudically is wrong. 100% full stop.
