Hate on cops for rear entry gunshot wounds.

Hate on cops for sexually harassing traffic stops.

Hate on cops for arresting journalists and photographers.

Hate on cops for using their positions of authority to recieve favors.

There are a multitude of reasons to hate on cops which justify community outcry and activism.

However...charge a cop with a deadly weapon. I will fault no LEO for taking split-second decisive action to intervene by drawing and discharging their service weapon.

FFS, have some clarity in your sense of reality.
