I think that's great news. If a cop tells me to stop, I stop, he won't kill me. IF a terrorist tells me to stop, I'm dead. I like the 58 X idds. they are in my favor. I'm a law abiding citizen.

.....now we have thread after thread about white cops.

White is the new black?

Don't be so sure. Do you know how many people stop and are shot by the police anyway?

I've never been killed by a police officer, nor do I know anyone who has been.

I do know someone who died a long time ago in a drunk driving accident, as a passenger in another car hit by a drink driver, I'm sure your odds are better by being killed that way than by a cop.

I haven't heard of any, I have seen the news reports of some running away and then getting shot, or fighting with cops and then getting shot, but not by complying with the cops orders.

So if we are so scared of the cops , why do we call them when we are being robbed ????

If I am uneasy about a dark parking deck or being stranded on a highway at night I sure do feel better if a cop arrives....

Neither have I. I guess that proves police officers are good.

You obviously only see the reports you want to see.
