They're calling the Alanta shooting Murder.

@Eternity Oh so a criminal can kill a cop but a cop can't kill a criminal. Got ya!

@JT123 exactly right. Because they arent a criminal until they are convicted. Until then they are a citizen that that cop promised to protect with their life.

@Eternity That's a pretty nifty loophole you think you've found there, Sparky.

@Budwick theres no loophole that's how the law is supposed to work.

If they cant agree to that then simply don't be a cop. Go home. Lots of much more useful lines of work someone could get into.

No one asked them to do it. And a lot of people would prefer they didnt to be frank.

@Eternity So, in your opinion, becoming a police officer means that person has agreed to be a target

@Budwick exactly.

@Eternity I recommend that you seek professional help immediately.
You are exhibiting powerful anti social behavior.

@Budwick @Eternity

Protect and serve ...
Protect suggests being in danger ..
Scared white people..

@SW-User
Protect means to keep safe from harm.

Certainly not an invitation for pot shots.

@Budwick 🏅...you understand 👍🏻..

No one did any pot shots.

@Budwick anti-herd you mean.

@Eternity Why are we needing to drill down through layers of meaning?
A police officer is not a target.

@Budwick yes they are.

Anyone who makes a job out of disrupting people's desires is going to be a target.

If you were eating and someone unexpectedly began to drag your plate away as you ate would your instinct not be to lash out? Even if only for an instant? Its human nature.

The answer is for cops to minimize when they decide to do so. Some dude sleeping in his damn car? Really? Is that really worth risking your life?

That cop decided that yes, it was. And if he would have got his dumb ass shot or tasered then, well, play stupid games win stupid prizes.

I cannot feel sorry for people who willingly choose to put themselves in stupid ass situations and then cry "I was ah-scared!" when they end up killing unarmed people due to their cowardice.

If you're scared then GO HOME. We dont need pussies policing us.

@Eternity
How does anyone know he's sleeping?
What he's had a heart attack?
What if he OD'd on something?

Happens a lot.
