Your sentiments are fair, and worthy. I hate that.Break the law and endanger others, GFY. You lose the right to whine later about much. You snowflakes that cry for the criminal scum, ask yourselves. Would you feel differently if this PoS slammed vehicles with your wife or momma and killed her?
Don't lie. Fucking hypocrites. Once again, we blame the response to criminal behavior. Not the criminal that ignited it all. Claim to be woke, well WAKE THE FUCK UP.
It is because I would feel differently that we do not let families and friends on the jury.
If I stand by and allow a little brutality, a little abuse. Where do I draw the line? Where do we draw the line? Do we let cops start beating confessions out of people again? Do we deny them their right to an attorney? Where do we draw the line?
If the Constitution is to mean anything. It must be defended. Every line. Every phrase. Every right. Every single time.
What I will say is that if I were the cop on scene, I would not have been happy about the dog being allowed the freedom to attack him in that situation.
So, there are plenty of things that occur between police and criminal that I would do differently. That I would do, imo, better. IN most cases, that's easy to say in hindsight and sitting on my ass uninvolved. When it does get excessive, I still can't find much sympathy for the criminal, in most cases. Race is not a factor to me on this. Clearly, this makes me less than qualified to be a judge. Just makes me a fed up dude with an opinion.
I was in Iraq for Desert Storm. A situation developed where I drew and aimed my weapon at a man who was inches away from grabbing a grenade. I aimed and safety was off. He froze. And when commanded backed off. I did not fire.
in another situation we came under fire. I fired a total of three aimed rounds. I do not think I hit the guy. Others fired more. Some fired less. My angle was not good on the shooter.
That was in a war. When I was 21 years old. A newly promoted Specialist. There were other instances where I could have fired but did not. It was not necessary.
harmonica will scoff and claim I am perfect or something. Nonsense. Doing what you are supposed to do is not perfection for a Paratrooper. It is expected.
