By show of hands, who has ever been in a street fight? Had a weapon pulled on them? Had a gun pulled on them? Yes to all three right here.

The Monday morning quarterback'ing of police is just disgusting in general.

There are Navy Seals who couldn't respond to some of these situations in a way that would get approval in the film room by the wokeness brigade.

"All I want is every single cop in the entire country to respond to every single situation with the accuracy and precision of Robocop. Why are they quitting?" - a bunch of retards.

God forbid people who make their money off the taxpayer be questioned for murder.

I heard a cop on TV use a term to describe the Atlanta situation that I found appropriate, "lawful but awful". I don't think the cops acted in an illegal way, but that doesn't mean they responded in the "right" way either. There were other alternatives, other decisions they could have made that wouldn't have resulted in the death of a man. That doesn't excuse the choices the man made himself, but cops are supposed to uphold a higher standard. No one had to die, and the onus is on the police to do everything possible to prevent that from happening.

I can somewhat agree with that.

That type of situation sucks. Like I mentioned earlier though, in that situation, I'd be the one going home to my family for sure. He made his choice, he has to live* with it.

Then he is an idiot.

1.) He charges the officer on a far lesser charge. In doing this he will cause some disdain with his police force while also causing some disdain with the Woke crowd who wants him to rot in the dungeon of a Medieval Prison. In the end you get your lesser conviction, the cop is held accountable for some wrongdoing, you have your police force who sees that they will be held accountable and the Woke crowd is still unhappy but he was held accountable. I don’t foresee any cities burning in this.

2.) He vastly overcharges the officer. The Woke crowd is cheering and your police force feels you’re out to get them and they walk out. Cop gets off the charges your Woke folk go to burn the place down and you have no police force.

I believe I would take option #1. Any rational person would if they made a thoughtful rational decision instead of a quick emotional one.

I think being a police officer is just a bad job right now. The more that are financially secure the more that should pursue something else in life. It's not worth it. Most do it because they feel some responsibility for helping to make things better.

Remember how Shaq was/is a volunteer police officer. It was recently that respected. We know society in general and especially young people are more disrespectful than they've ever been. The degradation of society. There are also several good hearted VFL's that are men in blue. These attacks on this board about police officers are disrespectful toward them.

True but lightning never strikes in the same place twice.

I’m not saying Trump can’t or won’t win but it’s looking a lot different now than it did 2-3 months ago.

I agree if the election were held today Trump would be in trouble but there's still a long way to go till Nov

You may be right, but the free pass being given to elected officials who have had the power to take care of this all along is unconscionable.

There is enough blame to go around on both sides. The protesters on one side and the police and the lawmakers/local officials on the other. I'm just saying that with regards to the cops, they have shown no desire to meet in the middle. Leave us alone or we will quit is irresponsible.

People keep arguing the extremes, but there is a middle ground to be found. Look at the officers who joined in peaceful protests over George Floyd. That is a step in the right direction. That should be an example for both sides that we can find a common ground and work together. Nothing will be solved by taking an extreme position and refusing to budge. There has to be compromise from both sides. Police need to find better, non lethal ways to deescalate situations, and people need to stop defending criminals who resist arrest. The goal should be everyone survives.

That is all any reasonable person is asking for.
