How do you know he's doing what he must, if you have no idea what the officer is doing?
Ok coloccw put your current self in this exact situation. You have done absolutely nothing wrong, you have nothing to hide, you're in a car, and a police office has a rifle pointed at you(or close), because a suspect is on the loose.
Are you ok with this? Just a simple yes or no will do.
Yep. An officer pointing a weapon near someone is a safety measure, not a threat.
A safety measure for them, not for me. I thought it was supposed to be about my safety? It is a threat for me.
Think about it in the reverse - what if there's a fake cop going around murdering people. I take it upon myself to point a gun at every cop I see until I determine they're not the culprit. "But it's for safety! My doing this is not a threat!" Yeah, it's for my safety alone, and a huge threat to the person I'm pointing the gun at. I don't think this would last long.
But why would the cops even get mad, since they do this to everyone and the person they point the gun at is supposed to be grateful?

This is one of the most ridiculous statements i've heard in awhile. If you for one second, think anybody WANTS to protect a child molester, you are crazy. Society has said "we want to rehabilitate offenders". It would be nearly impossible to try and rehabilitate Joshua Carrier, without some sort of "special accommodations".
With that said, please don't confuse the above statement with me agreeing with special accommodations, i'm just saying the way it is. It's ridiculous to think that anybody is trying to "protect their own", for any other reason than rehabilitation.
What you are saying is ridiculous. He is getting special treatment because he was a cop. Get real! So what prison is he in? You tell me! Are we safe from this guy?
Just answer this, why isn't he on the list? (Answer:Because he is former LEO)
I don't see it as much as protecting him as it is protecting the tax-payer.

Did I say anything disagreeing with your statement?
No, reread my response. You make it out to be some sort of protection because he's a "brother in blue" or some sentimental bond.
It's the state of Colorado's job to protect offenders and rehabilitate them, if being former LEO means they have to make special accommodations, then that's what they will do to get the job done, not because he's "one of their own" or some other BS.
I cannot tell you where the guy is, and you can determine if you feel safe from him or not.
Good article about The Militarization of America's Police Forces from the Cato Institute (pdf).

YOU are the first responder. Police, fire and medical are SECOND responders.
When seconds count, the police are mere minutes away...
