IKR? I think..though, we want people who shoot people less often. That doesn;t take inhuman emotional control or perfect judgement. They can just keep their bullets in their pocket...like Barney did.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

And that's not broken down into justified, unjustified, accidental, etc.
And, the absurdity of the Fife reference doesn't help you case.

That's too many. I'm not a fan of the state executing people on the streets.

See? "Executing", a loaded term without moderation or consideration of all the facts. You are the enemy of the people who need the police. You just haven't realized it yet.

Meh, I call it what it is. You could say "state sanctioned killing" if you like..they'll still be just as dead. I can see how my being against the police killing people makes me an enemy of people who need the police......

What problem...I didn't realize you saw it -as- a problem. Just few measly thousandths of a percent.

Lethal force is necessary sometimes, buddy, or you wouldn't be living the comfortable life you are.

So maybe appreciate the things society has to do for you with a little less complaining and more suggestions for improvement.
