If the fuckers resist arrest, particularly if they are pointing guns at the cops, why should the cops not act to protect themselves?
He seemed to ignore my solution as well. If they resist arrest then I am all for the cops protecting themselves. After all they would do just that if it were a "black militia" (for example) occupying the building.

Pony, did you choose your name after the female character in the Robert Salvatore novels?
A Christian told me: if you were saved you cant lose your salvation. you're sealed with the Holy Ghost
I replied: Can I refuse? Because I find the entire concept of vicarious blood sacrifice atonement to be morally abhorrent, the concept of holding flawed creatures permanently accountable for social misbehaviors and thought crimes to be morally abhorrent, and the concept of calling something "free" when it comes with the strings of subjugation and obedience perhaps the most morally abhorrent of all... and that's without even going into the history of justifying genocide, slavery, rape, misogyny, religious intolerance, and suppression of free speech which has been attributed by your own scriptures to your deity. I want a refund. I would burn happily rather than serve the monster you profess to love.
