Who needs mental health or financial resources when the blue gang is there to just massacre you??

The thing I don't understand about this part is that cops literally volunteer for risk

So everyone that has a job with risk isn’t entitled to mitigating that risk with reasonable safety measures? It’s the dumbest most roundly circulated anti-police rhetoric that’s out there, and it’s all over these kinds of posts

People who carry guns and have legal authority to kill people should have a higher tolerance for danger and exposure to harm than the average citizen.

This case is fucked up but if you're asking for my honest opinion then if a fucked up badly injured guy with a machete is running at you you should tackle him and risk being injured because you're paid to protect people from danger not to kill.

I genuinely think that if we saw more cops getting black eyes and broken ribs in 85% of these cases then the 15% where they use force would be more understandable because we see with our own eyes that the cops are putting it on the line routinely and not just because it's the easiest course of action.

Like cops are supposed to be heroes. If your first reaction isn't how do I fix this without killing them you're a bad cop. And this whole idea of acceptable risk highlights the gap in public perception of the responsibility of an officer vs the actual job description which doesn't require one to protect and serve their community. That job culture makes it hard not to see police shootings as expedience in the best scenario.

I work emergency services, I don't carry a gun and end up in dangerous situations sometimes. I also work closely with police on some responses...I don't think this guy was necessarily wrong to fire based on department criteria, but fuck me why are you a cop if you can't conjure the nerve to risk injury or worse...why is that not the point of this job?

Did you read the article? He rushed the police and tried to hit them with the machete. That’s why he was killed.

Have you heard of mace, not being a weak bitch, tasers, or really anything other than being a trigger happy pig? We all know these GED goons don’t give a shit and just murder away but ya know, maybe they could buck up and grow some fucking balls instead of sitting on their fat asses on Facebook complaining about de libs, or wasting everyone’s money standing in traffic on their phones collecting their beer belly nursing home retirement

If a mentally unstable person is coming at me with a fucking machete, I’m going to do everything I can to protect myself.

Cops have an obligation to avoid lethal force, but the thing is that they’re sopping bitches who aren’t held accountable and have no integrity whatsoever, and therefore have free reign to murder even when someone has their back turned, and shit eating gullible bitches like you excuse it
