skycop 0 #57 August 8, 2015 There is a gun at every scene, and "so many" is complete BS. Knifes, cars, BB guns, realistic air soft guns, flag poles, shovels, the list goes on. I've said this more than once, fight an armed guy, you do so at your own peril. This happens hundreds of times yearly, but is seldom reported past local news. For the 24 hour news cycle it's turned in to a game of piling-on. http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=f16_1439047365 Meanwhile cops continued to do a difficult and dangerous job.

kallend 2,108 #59 August 8, 2015 skycop Knifes, cars, BB guns, realistic air soft guns, flag poles, shovels, the list goes on. Well, all of the above are easily available in Canada, Australia, New Zealand, The Netherlands, France, UK, Sweden, Norway, Denmark, etc. yet their cops aren't killing their civilians at anything like the rate US cops do it. So clearly that's just a red herring.... The only sure way to survive a canopy collision is not to have one. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Confiscating guns 80 yrs ago worked out so well for your country.................. Some people seem to forget that Hitler came to office by democratic process. It wasn't a coup. ALSO, the Nazis actually made gun ownership easier than it had been following the Treaty of Versailles. The German Weapons Act of 1938 removed all restrictions on long guns, exempted a whole bunch of people from any restrictions, and lowered the minimum age of gun ownership. The old Nazi Gun Confiscation meme is just NRA Kool Aid.... The only sure way to survive a canopy collision is not to have one. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

skycop 0 #62 August 8, 2015 Uhhh...........nope.......... People attack cops with those, like I said there are vast numbers of use of force situations where the outcome is not lethal force. I can tell it to you this way, I know HUNDREDS of cops, I only know a handful that have ever used lethal force. The ones I do know are good guys, who did what they had to do. They aren't proud of it, they don't broadcast it, and it still effects them deeply. Of all the cops I know, almost every one has had a situation where they could have used deadly force, but didn't. I've had several, each time the persons actions put them in jeopardy, I was simply reacting. The notion that the police are just randomly going around shooting people is complete bullshit. We live in an armed violent society, that is the reality. Do cops make mistakes, yes they do, do cops go into work thinking "I'm gonna shoot someone today", absolutely not. I've mentioned before I met a Sgt. from London Metro PD, he openly stated he can't figure out how or why we police here. He said he'd never be able to do it, same with a few other international cops I've met during my travels. So keep bashing, meanwhile your local police are out in your community trying to do the best they can, doing an extremely difficult job. "Just 'cause I'm simple, don't mean I'm stewpid!"

skycop 0 #66 August 8, 2015 I agree, I've said this ad-nauseam as well, I knew someone would bring this up. When I trained guys I'd tell them if they thought they walked the line of death everyday, they'd be wrong. Policework is mainly hours of mundane tasks, interrupted by moments of sheer terror and despair. One needs to be ready for those moments at all times, they can come at anytime and anyplace. Police work is uniquely dangerous, it includes the human factor, where potential things that could injure or kill you plot, plan, and can strike at anytime without warning. By definition cops live in various states of hyper-vigilance, that's what makes the danger unique. Like a sign at the dropzone said, "you can do everything right, and still end up dead". Cops resign themselves to that fact daily. I told the young guys to embrace that, use good judgment and trust the training, and you can mitigate that significantly.

They are just facts, and inconvenient ones for you. Hitler's firearms act of 1938 was actually more lenient than the one of the regime that preceded him. With the exception of Jews, German citizens were NOT disarmed by the Nazis. Just FACTS.... The only sure way to survive a canopy collision is not to have one.
