The cops in Missouri all deserve a damn medal for restraint. Look up the history of riots. People die. Often at the hands of cops, and sometimes the cops are the ones killed.
Police in Missouri dealt with a full week of riots and/or looting. And NOT A SINGLE rioter, protester, or cop has died as a result. Not even a serious injury!!!!
People will bitch about "militarized" equipment. But they don't realize its for their own good. Why? Supreme Court case Graham vs Connor says police lethal force must be "reasonable and necessary".
The MORE protection a cop has at his disposal, the LESS he can justify that he was in danger.
So, a cop with a helmet and big vest and big gun and an armored car to hide behind........is in LESS danger than cops dressed like Andy Griffith. MEANING....its harder for them to justify high level force, because they are highly protected.
Morons wont understand that though.
Great job Missouri cops. A week of riots, and the worst thing that happened was some pepper spray gas and a couple cops making improper comments? No deaths? No serious injuries? Yeah, that's a MISSION ACCOMPLISHED if I've ever seen one.
