Quote:So you would look down upon me for using a gun to defend myself in a situation where multiple assailants are beating me within an inch of my life? If you were in my situation you wouldn't defend yourself with a gun if you were getting beat within in an inch of your life? Be clear, here.

 

It's a pretty big double double standard when TJBender and/or you think it's okay for me to use a gun vs unarmed attackers when I'm at risk of death but if a cop reacts the same way in the same scenario it's inexcusable. If a cop was being beaten by unarmed assailants within an inch of his life, should he be allowed to defend himself with his firearm?

Would I look down on you? I don't know that depends. I look down on Zimmerman because I feel like he instigated things. I certainly wouldn't look down on someone who just got jumped. 

 

I will make this very clear since I might now have before. If you truly fear for your life then do what you have to do.

 

I never said it was inexcusable for a cop. I said I don't think it's unreasonable to hold them to a higher standard. The majority of the public is not trained in the various ways cops are and are much likely to be reactionary in ways that cops should not be. Thats all I said.
