Look we are now much safer because the CIA etc. is using Amazon.com to provide intelligence data management...now we can shop and kill terrorists at the same time!

Looks like a "dick" don't it?

None of us were there, facing the threats that officer was that day, or everyday. 1 fed agent and 3 local PD w ere injured just prior to that. None of the critics here face the dangers that officer does every single day, the threats against him and his family, and against his brothers. I applaud him for making the hard decision to do what was necessary, safe (finger is clear of the trigger), and legally right, to ensure he made it home at the end of the day. Most of the critics here have never made that decision nor have the balls/ability/mindset necessary to do that. Are local cops becoming more militaristic? Of course! Look at the current threats they face today. If you want to flap your gums about their tactics then take it up with their chiefs, not the guy on the street everyday just trying to provide for his family. Most of you who talk the most shit have done the least...

Who are the threats that you mention? According to government entities these are currently the biggest threats to the USA.
A whole list of people who:

Expressions of libertarian philosophies (statements, bumper stickers, believe in civil liberties) Second Amendment-oriented views (NRA or gun club membership, holding a CCW permit)
Survivalist literature (fictional books such as "Patriots" and "One Seconed After" are mentioned by name)
Self-sufficiency (stockpiling food, ammo, hand tools, medical supplies)
Fear of economic collapse (buying gold and barter items)
Religious views and practices such as Christianity concerning the book of Revelation (apocalypse, anti-Christ)
Expressed fears of Big Brother or big government
Homeschooling
Declarations of Constitutional rights and civil liberties

Y'all need to stop bitc---- the cops were just following orders and trying to do their job. but seriously, hitlers ss was just following orders too... brokenscout is right.

I feel the need to request the "brakes be pumped" on this. Stop comparing modern American law enforcement and "just doing their job" to the SS or other Nazi Germany war criminals "just doing their job." Two very different things- US LEOs are much more accountable, have US/Constitutional law to abide by, and have public opinion and department policy to abide by. Our cops are not out rounding up minorities for systematic slaughter- so please, refrain from comparing the "just doing their job" to the Nazis. It's disingenuous and counter productive.

Except if the nazis didn't do what they were told, they were probably executed. So they had even more of a reason to follow ridiculous orders then LEO's.

The LEO could walk away. The Nazi couldn't.

Everyone just does what they're told, but some have better reason to do it than others. ETA - "better" probably isn't the word for it. Nazis didn't have a better reason for following orders, they had a scarier reason.
