Sometimes, Cops Get It Right
August 26, 2020 at 6:37 pm (This post was last modified: August 26, 2020 at 6:39 pm by BrianSoddingBoru4.)
Houston Police Kill Shooter

He fired at civilians, fired at cops, and threatened to fire at the cops some more.

I have absolutely no problem with this incident.

Dickish take: at least the SWAT officer only fired a single bullet. Ammo is expensive.

My take: Only shot him once, must have liked him.

It's kind of nice to know that there are some American cops who use shooting a suspect as a last resort.

Considering that US cops kill three people a day on average, for all reasons, I think that's a bit of inverted thinking.

That’s fair. We’re more likely to hear about the fuck ups than about the clean shootings (cops doing their job properly isn’t newsworthy). 

Change ‘some American cops’ to ‘the overwhelming majority of American cops’.

But it doesn't work that way on the internet, hence the present soup sandwich situation.
