This thread is insane. Point a GUN at a cop, you are dead meat. Period. Charge at a cop with a knife in your hand, he shoots you dead. You have a problem with that?
but hey, if it is a black who is shot, it is RACISM. Cop says DROP THE WEAPON, if you have half a brain you will do that and live. Refuse and you get shot.
Agreed that in the US and Canada (pop about 370 million.. you can find some dirty cops.. but most of them do a hard job and just want to go home at night, hug their kids and love their wives.
For the record, I hate the Anarchists (collectively) and have ZERO use for them that would stir up hatred of the cops. Imagine yourself in a country where there are no cops. Good luck making it to and from your bank..
So tired of this *hit.
and about no knock, Tangplay, I would that they don't knock on a drug bust .. cuz they those slimeballs will kill a cop and think nothing of it.
I have never been a cop. Neither have you. It is so hard to put ourselves in their shoes for that very reason. It is like telling a navy Seal how to take out someone like Escobar, when most of us have never even held an AR 15
Easy to be an armchair expert, though
Have you seen the body camera footage of the Amir Locke shooting?
Here's the situation: you're asleep. It's the early morning. Suddenly you hear loud yelling, a group of men are pointing a gun at you. Immediately, you reach for your gun and grab it (BECAUSE YOU'RE A LEGAL GUN OWNER IN A COUNTRY THAT HAS A 2ND AMENDMENT). Boom, in a split second you're dead.
Keep in mind that you're asleep at the beginning of this; the police don't give you the opportunity to get your bearings. As far as you are aware, a bunch of armed people have charged into your home.
That's what happened to Amir Locke. He was murdered by the police.
The simple solution, of course, is to simply knock. It gives the person inside the home the full knowledge of the situation and keeps both sides out of as much danger as possible. Not knocking puts the police in danger because if someone has a gun, they're going to be startled and start defending themself, as is their GOD DAMN AMERICAN RIGHT. That's what happened to Amir Locke and that's what happened to Breonna Taylor.
