Perfect timing for your topic.
Yesterday,my apartment was an incident of the cops having the wrong address.
They were given the wrong address by a witness and were looking for a possibly violent suspect (they got him somewhere else in the complex,btw).You could tell that they were ready to take someone down if they had to-about 5 of them.
My roommate and I did the adult thing by being calm and once they told us they were looking for someone-we immediately told them to come in and do their thing.
Once they saw that we weren't harboring a suspect-they apologized and left.
If you guys knew what kind of killers that the cops have to deal with here in Memphis on a daily basis-you would be glad that they were around.
I had my a$$ beat a couple of times by the cops when I was younger-but I deserved it.
It's a shame that it took me until the age of around 20 to learn to respect local cops.
btw:I'm willing to bet that most of the cop haters live in areas with damn near no crime.

A lot of us are sick of cops killing people they didn't even know were criminals...
Or weren't even criminals...
Or were just standing on the sidewalk selling cigarettes...
Or running from bullets, putting their hands up and turning then being executed by 4 officers...
Or homeless people being ganged up on and then shot by them cos a clumsy prick dropped his gun when he didn't even need to reach for it...
Or standing in there doorstep scratching there nose with permission and still being killed...
Or cowering in a room cradling their baby and then being shot in the head through the door because some coward heard a noise in the room...
Shall I continue?

Killed by police has compiled 1450 homicides caused by officers in the US since May 2013.
That's 1100 at year or 3 a day. And that's not a comprehensive list, because local governments do not want us to know how many people were shot, tazed ,beaten and filed a complaint.
What I learned collecting data on police killings
In 2014 Germany 4 officer caused deaths, England 0
I think the problem is police brutality and militarization
. It's strange to me all these unarmed people keep "attacking" or "advancing" on armed officers.

lol okay OP
When a shooting is 100% just, they should have to deal with these idiots? Protesting is fine, but when you protest under a false pretense.. Those protesters should have been chanting that a criminal was taken out of this world to not do anymore harm.
But when they become illogical and retarded, then yes a police presence is needed because the idiots protesting have no basis to protest.
