Under no circumstance should cops KILL

[FFaith]

 The people with the extreme views are the ones that don't want the cops to shoot, because they don't care about police dying.

Or because we do, in addition to caring about whether or not a police officer is made to kill someone, as well as whether or not some poor fucker gets shot by the police.

That seems to be a major disconnect.

I was referring to the people who don't want the cops to shoot unless they are 100 % sure that the perp has a gun, and that it is being pointed at them and about to be used. That's an unreasonable standard, and the people arguing that position simply do not care one way or the other whether the cops live or die. Of course the police should not shoot unless they think their lives are at risk. Some cops shoot too soon, and those cops aren't fit to be cops.

Maybe some time in the future the cops won't have to kill many people, but the guns in the hands of the citizens will have to disappear first, and that's not happening anytime soon.
