Under no circumstance should cops KILL

Under no circumstance should cops KILL
Just saw another video of a woman getting shot to death by cops. This is absolutely disgusting, why do people tolerate this?

People pay the cops to protect them. They're called public SERVANTS, that's what they're called. Why are people that pay these cop's salaries being shot to death I'll never know. The killing part should only be reserved for military and specialized forces, not the cops. I personally think cops shouldn't be allowed to kill, the government should value the life of it's citizens and protect it not be so carefree with lives.

Ask the right wing gun nuts. Ask the firearm factories. Ask the NRA. <--------  These assholes are a minority but are holding our nation hostage. 

I don't like seeing citizens or cops shot, but it is going to happen when you have an industry and lobby selling fear. Keep the fear up, you can sell weapons to both cops and society. Violence is great for the weapons industry..

RE: Under no circumstance should cops KILL
In Europe, in most situations a baton would suffice, yet in US, for some reason, cops need to carry guns even when standing up to a 4year old child. At this point I am pretty sure that the entire nation is affected by some sort of brain disorder or a yet-to-be-detected disease, and it's slowly spreading to the rest of the world.

I can think of plenty of circumstances where lethal force would be required. 

Apparently not required in what you watched.

I'm pretty sure, that if they where only dealing with four year old children, then most of the time, baton and tasers would probably be adequate.

Not the point. As long as we have lack of livable wages, lack of affordable health care, AND mental health care, and as long as we have crappy vetting, and a flooded gun market, our law enforcement will be trained to assume the worst.

Everyone should kill under the right circumstances.  The only problem is the amount of times the police kill when it isn't reasonable and get away with it.  The general public might debate which of those times is reasonable but the law judging the police usually comes to the same conclusion that they're innocent.


Are you ready for the fire? We are firemen. WE ARE FIREMEN! The heat doesn’t bother us. We live in the heat. We train in the heat. It tells us that we’re ready, we’re at home, we’re where we’re supposed to be. Flames don’t intimidate us. What do we do? We control the flame. We control them. We move the flames where we want to. And then we extinguish them.

Impersonation is treason.

Exactly the point. You went off topic (again), returning at the end with two relevant points.

LOL... When everyone can potentially have a gun, the cops are going to be trigger happy. Duh!

If only there were examples of 1st world countries, where this problem is practically non-existent...
