Not at all what I said and you know that full well going back through this thread. I have always maintained the guy didn't deserve to be shot, but he is not a totally blameless victim as you seem to be trying to maintain.
Quote:I also say that police officers have MORE or a duty to keep from using excessive physical force (if you want to bring that old post back up). Because anyone who then responds will be charged with "resisting" and whatever striking an officer would be. And, again since you went there, I always feel officers need held to an eve higher standard than regular citizens as they have the ability to take away your property, freedom and life.
I agree that officers have a duty to be held to a higher standard. But that doesn't change the point that physical assault is still not an equal response to verbal assault. A point which you seem to agree with based upon that post.
Quote:However just keep saying we should be meek and afraid of all the crazy people (even if we don't know they are crazy) so that we don't get ourselves shot with no blame on the shooter who was just "defending themselves". It's a good look.
That was very fred of you. Smarter and aware that there are idiots out there equates to meek and afraid.
And if some random guy is yelling at my wife, I may question his mental stability in my mind....even though "(we don't know if theyre crazy)".
