By trashing these fine men and women who serve and protect us, we ARE part of this sad thing that is happening.

What are they serving: the police state and abusive laws which violates freedoms and rights of the public. They should get no respect or help. Peace officers who only try to deter and respond to real crime like theft, rape, murder, battery and breaking and entering, in a calm and deescalating manner should get praise. Cops who enforce abusive laws and instigate and escalate situations should not.

Weather you are pro cop or can't see past your hate at least acknowledge that an innocent person with loved ones is no longer with us. Just some basic human kindness here people. Try it you might like it.
He was a cop. He is not innocent. I have kindness for all of the people's lives he ruined over non-violent "offenses..." How many kids did he give felonies to for having weed? How many jobs were lost when he pulled someone over and took his sweet time writing them a ticket? How much money was stolen at gunpoint from productive members of society by this tax-predator?

I think non-violence is the answer. I would never advocate violence, unless it was defensive. But he was a cop, and none of them are innocent.

It IS sad, that THIS is what "freedom" looks like. Personally, I think it looks like Guatemalan paramilitary circa 1980:

But, hey, land of the free, right? Free to get shot by a guy in an army uniform that will NEVER under ANY circumstances be held accountable as long as he promises cross his heart that you either a.) reached for your waistband or b.) scared him a lot.

Yikes if I were religious I'd pray for you.

Bud.. you have to get some new material.. this is a cut and paste you use in your anti cop threads... at least try to stay with the thread and be original...

You and others like you show complete callousness for life.. more than the police you accuse of same...

My prayers for Officer Johnson and his family... may they never be exposed to someone like you

What should happen to people who vote for abusive laws and then force the Police to enforce them? You do realize that police don't make the laws?

In the USA, people vote and through their representatives, have laws created. So what do you say should happen to the voters and the representatives hmmm?

BTW, just how do you say someone should respond to a murder in progress or a rape in a de-escalating manner? Lets say you where the one being murdered or raped, what would be the appropriate response, perhaps a dialogue of some kind?

I say, the best way to answer both of your concerns for "violation of the law" and "protection of civil rights" is quite simply to withdraw the "evil" police from that whole area and allow the wonderful folks who are so caring about "Black Lives Matter" to go in there and bring happiness and joy to the neighborhood. Then everyone will be happy.

Clueless. Cops don't give felonies. People commit crimes and only a court of law can declare, via the trail process, if someone committed a felony.

Strange that you claim non-violence is the answer. To whom would you like to apply that solution? Seriously, we would you start, non-violence beginning where? Time to ante up.
