I don't think you understand how proportional response operates.
For instance, just because a suspect is assaulting or threatening to assault an officer does not mean that the officer is justified in shooting the suspect because the response must be proportional.
Pardon me for having a lot more compassion for the people this nut violently assaulted
Interesting, because I'm pretty sure shooting a handcuffed person to death is violent assault.
Kick in to the DU tip jar?
This week we're running a special pop-up mini fund drive. From Monday through Friday we're going ad-free for all registered members, and we're asking you to kick in to the DU tip jar to support the site and keep us financially healthy.
As a bonus, making a contribution will allow you to leave kudos for another DU member, and at the end of the week we'll recognize the DUers who you think make this community great.
