okay ill admit, the cops probably couldnt tell in the one second worth of time that the guy was throwing the gun down. but why shoot him if the dog was already on top of him? and why not use non-lethal rounds? theres no way around it, they handled it wrong. i hope the young man's family got paid over the incident. i see where they are coming from, one guy with a handgun .. but a whole squad of cops posted up all around him? i say excessive force.
at least he went out like a soldier.

It is not that you claimed it directly but more through other words.
you are requesting the police in the first part of the video to put a pregnant woman in arms reach of a man who says he is armed and willing to use the weapon on the police and will die before being arrested.
By being against the police for not making such a decision shows some irrational point of making the police out to be bad people.
Add that to your view of saying that no police have attempted to help with your children says more.
As I said maybe I am reading more into you posts than is there but is seems you have some grudge against the police in general.

This thread, like any involving law enforcement will always bring up heated debate and there will always be those of us who just WILL NOT see eye to eye. Its the reality of being human beings.

TRUST ME when I tell you, the OVERWHELMING majority or cops and soldiers WILL NEVER turn on their own family and friends. MANY of us, including myself, will hand in my badge and my sidearm if ever asked to do so in that aspect.
Ok maybe I won't turn in my glock and other goodies...I could use those to defend me and my family...

As for the rest of your post you seem to be making ass many assumptions as I did so I’m passing you some crow now as well.
I can guarantee there is more than you are letting on.
No one in their right mind would put a pregnant woman in the middle of a possible shootout, regardless if they support the 2nd amendment or not.
Also since you seem to be assuming I am in law enforcement I feel I should tell you I am not.

Your opinion is that idiots should be killed.
That makes you a murderer.
Let me give you something to consider.
Do you know what it is even like for a meat eater to suddenly go vegetarian. That person might believe they are a murderer.
Would you kill a vegetarian because they believe they murdered?
I don't think vegetarians are idiots.
