Quote:I'm the last one to defend trigger happy cops. But don't you see how stupid this is? How detrimental to the general discussion, since it's that ludicrous? It's obvious that at some times weapons use by the police is not only justified but warranted. In every country for that mattter.
Is it?
We have seen multiple situations, in Charlotte and in Tulsa and in Chicago where there were a whole bunch of cops around and only one fired. We can't know what that one cop thought he saw that his colleagues did not see but I am perfectly content with the word "trigger-happy."
How the fuck can you be that afraid of a man with his arms down and facing away from you that you just have to shoot him in the back? And no one else perceived the threat? Come on.
