Two NYPD Officers Ambushed And Murdered

[A Theist]

I see. You're justifying the murders of those two police officers?

No. Explaining isn't excusing.

I don't have any respect for a department that escalates to deadly force, using a maneuver that has been known for decades to be lethal, for the crime of selling loose cigarettes. When a department does that, there will certainly be people angry enough to take up arms.

These are chickens coming home to roost.

It doesn't sound that way to me. It sounds like you're saying, "Oh well, the police had it coming to them. The chickens coming home to roost thing. So what if two officers were ambushed and murdered while eating lunch in their squad car. After all, they asked for it."....That's what it sounds like you're saying.

Wouldn't it be a lot easier to just do what a police officer tells you rather than resisting and trying to get physical? This can be sorted out afterward. There's plenty of venues people can resort to if they feel they've been the victims of police abuse. The ACLU or other legal options can be pursued. They would love to jump on shit like that. Why put yourself in a situation that's either going to get you seriously wounded or killed?
