In one, a cop approaches a car at a traffic stop, pulls his weapon then shoots ... about 10 seconds later. There were no signs of aggression, but the guy did have a fully legal handgun in the car, and possessed a concealed-carry permit. There was plenty of time to think things through, but it didn't happen. I doubt the cop wanted to shoot the guy. He was being filmed by his own dash-cam.Is that the one that happened in my area? If it is, I saw that one in its entirety. We didn't see what was going on with the person in the car. We didn't see what was going on in the mind of the person in the car either. We heard an officer tell the person not to move or make any sudden moves and then we heard a bunch shots and we heard the voice of the officer explaining to the passenger the reason for the shooting of the driver. I know the cop didn't want to shoot the guy. How much time do you need to think things through? Less than 10 seconds? I bet I kill you if I wanted to in less than 10 seconds. So, you better be able to think through without reacting the wrong way in the minds of blues within 5 seconds or less. Sound reasonable to you and sound like a reasonable rule to apply to cops. Now, keep in mind, I don't give a fuck whether blues continue to have police forces or not at this point. Blues don't deserve them in my opinion. I've yet to see a blue who I'd view as being worth placing my life at risk or dying for or worth dealing with all the shit that seems to occur in their areas. I have no doubt that cops would be much happier and feel much more appreciated in redder areas.
Stats prove that red states and counties are more prone to crime and violence than blue states and counties, because in blue states people get what they need as opposed to being left on their own. It doesn't matter if some parts of cities (all cities are blue) have more violence or not; on the whole, places with blue governments are safer than those with red governments.
I think it was in Oklahoma and Louisiana where last year I think it was some crazed idiots deliberately went after and shot cops. But a cop shooting a black guy who is not doing anything threatening, is violating his civil rights and is being a murderer. That destroys civil rights for all of us. Red-staters demand that citizens be armed, and then wonder why cops need to be armed. Then, when cops shoot someone without cause, they see that (s)he gets off scot free. What we have, under current red-state control, is a country that is unsafe, and in which people have no rights.
