Quote:No, because its difficult to always be right for me. Maybe not for you, but most people aren't perfect all the time, especially when they have half a second to make a decision that may cost them their own life.


Go watch that video of the anti deadly force activist who was put into a simple shoo or no shoot police scenario and used deadly force on an unarmed subject.

It just scares me that you think a police officer who shoots and kills an unarmed man should not be held accountable for doing so. I'm certainly not right all the time, but I do know that if I'm going to kill someone, I'd better be damn sure that I'm right in that decision, and part of being right in that decision is being 100% certain that that man presents a clear, present and intentional danger to my life. 99% of the time, that requires him to either be armed or represent himself as being armed.

 

An anti-deadly force activist does not have the same training that a police officer would. Furthermore, I am not anti-deadly force. I am against using deadly force when there are other options available, and in the case of a single unarmed assailant, there are alternatives to putting two in the chest and one in the head.
