Quote:I sympathize with the cops, who put their lives on the line to protect us.


On the other hand we can't give them carte blanche to pull their gun and shoot whenever they get scared or when something doesn't go according to plan. There is a line that should not be crossed. Resisting arrest does not give a police officer the right to execute someone.


A lot of you act like, you're either with the cops or you are against the cops. Try to be reasonable. People who get so stressed out by unexpected situations that they pull their gun and start shooting need to find another profession.

They don't get carte blanche, but they do get the benefit of the doubt. In the eyes of the law, cops never have to be right. They are never judged in hindsight. They just have to act like any reasonable officer would. The ones who don't; they get prison time.


The cops in the Alton Sterling shooting will be exonerated. The Philando Castile shooting, nobody knows. If it went down exactly as the fiancee described, then the officer will see some jail time.
