it's real simple, do what the law tells you to do, and you win the prize of getting to go home to momma!

Didn't work out for Daniel Shaver, and others.

Philando Castile also comes to mind for someone like me that carries concealed almost anytime I go out. I think he was also killed in a suburb of Minneapolis or St Paul IIRC.

No, it didn't. Neither did getting drunk and playing with a gun that appeared to some people to be real. And the police officer that shot him was charged and processed and put thru the system. He didn't run from police or do anything else stupid or get drunk and act a fool. He went to court and presented his side of the story and a jury found him not guilty. And he's still facing a civil trial as far as I know.

So if we're gonna bring things like this up maybe it would be appropriate to tell the entire story.

The video is available for all to see. They wanted blood, and they got it. Their professionalism was lower than the freaking Iraqi army. I've seen 19 and 20 year olds act more professionally in a combat zone with people who don't even speak English. They wanted to play conflicting orders Simon says the whole time continuing to escalate the situation.

Brailsford's dust cover said it all: "You're Fucked". He's a piece of shit. Let's not act like the legal system is worth anything.

ETA: Do you know WHY those 19 and 20 year olds were of a mindset which enabled them to act as cordially, professionally, and sensibly as possible? Because they understood that if they did something which resulted in dishonoring an elder, a woman, or just in general a local national, or injured/killed them, that it would result in retribution beyond the normal day to day attempts on the lives of themselves and their brothers in arms.

It would behoove the police to recognize that cus as Donut says with the most recent situation, these events are going to cost officers their lives.

It's not hard to not be a dumbass.

Well, no hopefully not in cases where they’re actually criminals and need to be locked up... but yeah, I agree with you that they should do what the law says and you’ll be alright!
