Modern liberalism is based on the idea that reality is obligated to conform to one's beliefs because; "I have the right to believe whatever I want".

Yet so many on this forum will jump on the "sue them!" bandwagon when there is a perceived misdeed by law enforcement, but are not so when its the LE who filed suit. The "I should carry anywhere I want" crowd wanting the LE to keep his firearm in the vehicle. I find the dichotomy interesting.

That is Honor, and there are way too many people in this country who no longer understand it.
There's a bandwagon here?

Both should just get 90 day suspension without pay and move on.....
What’s good for the goose is good for the gander. Any cop worthy of the badge should understand and believe in that.
He has no more right to life or duty to protect than anyone else. The only difference is he gets paid to do it as a job.
Aside from Fitz’s quasi answers, I haven’t seen anyone answer the questions I asked, so I’ll leave my comments to what I have written.

I could care less about the bandwagon ... I'm still looking for the funnel cake vendor.

He should have his weapon with him. He is an asset.
CCWers should have their weapons with them. They are assets.
If there is gun control limiting the ability for good guys to have guns, it should apply equally, so we can have "an honest conversation" about the stupidity of gun control.
How are these things inconsistent?

Wait.... there's funnel cakes?!

Side note: OFC we all agree drawing a weapon is stupid in the circumstance. My comment was more to encourage critical thinking... when an officer demands special accommodations for being an officer, but doesn't prove it (or provide time to verify it), what is the appropriate course of action? Obviously not holding a gun on them. Looking the other direction is more acceptable. But, what's the ideal resolution?
