Ok so the eye for an eye is just limited to police. The problem that i see with that is the amount of injustices and errors that would occur. The human brain is pretty smart.... it fills in the blanks based on what you would logically deduct. Officiating football is a great example. You see a guy going for a pass with the defensive man real close, your line of sight is blocked. The next thing you see is the receiver on the ground. Logically, you deduct pass interference, however the receiver tripped himself and there was no touching of the defense until he tripped on the falling receiver.
The same thing in real life. You think this guy robbed the store and you see someone running away, you deduct that it was him. So you shoot him, when I. Fact the person had nothing to do with the robbery.
I know a lot of good people that have done silly shit in their past. Under your thoughts, it really doesn’t matter if they were shot for their stupidity or not. They wouldn’t be here today.

TY Charger and I apologize if I get edgy. A nasty habit, but appreciate our conversations.

I’m very much a product on how I was raised by my parents & the coaches that shaped me & my ideals. I was not taught to blindly believe anything by any means, but following established rules was always to be honored, along with fairness, honesty, and trying your hardest.

My feeling is that if a PO has made an intelligent decision that this is the culprit and if after being told to not run; they still run. I feel it’s an admission of guilt. Now of course, now we have the excuse that OMG, cops are bad & I’m never going to be treated fairly even if I follow their instructions, so I have a right to run. To me, that’s just a rationalization to justify disobeying an officer.

Look, rules are made to be followed & certain people must enforce those rules. Should someone get get caught breaking the rules or suspected of breaking the rules, you accept the instructions of those enforcing the rules. In the 2 examples I stated, the “victims” were defiant and appeared agitated. In both situations they never stopped struggling to the point of needing additional force.

The big 350 pound I can’t breathe dude suffered from asthma, had CV problems and had a heart attack on the way to the hospital. All he had to do was follow instructions because the POs were polite and calm. He fought continuously until they had a knee the back of his neck.

Rodney numb-nuts King lead police on a car chase and flipped an officer over his back. The officers rightfully claimed they thought by his mannerisms King was on PCP and they acted accordingly to protect themselves.

If I see a dude on the street carrying a gun or a baton and I make any aggressive move on him or shoot my mouth off? I sure ain’t whining about it, but questioning my own intelligence.

Clarify your last 2 sentences for me please, what stupid things did they do that I feel they should get shot for, TY?
