1. Been saying it. Further they insist/demand my child face an AR15 while they cowardly refuse.

6. Yep, it's OK for a child to face off with a AR15 unarmed,

but not a trained cop with at minimum a pistol, plus most law enforcement vehicles
have a shotgun or AR15 that's real handy to grab.

7. And expect teachers to fight them off with their 3-hole-punch.

Not joking. The faculty at my school was told we needed to stand by the door and prepare to clobber the shooter as he entered with whatever was handy.

2. I'm almost sorry to say this, because I've known several cops

who were awesome and very nice people, but I almost get the impression that a lot of these guys are fine as long as they're the only ones who have guns. If they're so brave and love their guns and military equipment so much, I think they should join the military, but they don't want the other guy shooting back. You get hurt that way.

8. Same. nt

11. +1, if they're in front of unarmed black guy they shoot quick cause they fear for their lives

3. Modest proposal replace the cops

with Ukranians as soon as they whip Russia. We know they will fight.

[70sEraVet]

4. Yes they will.

5. Brilliant way to put it, Lakota man!

Thank you!!!

9. And cops DO support gun reform but...

Their unions aren't very vocal about it. Gee, I wonder why. Could it be because they love the dependable support they get from MAGA world when they kill an unarmed black person?

10. I firmly disagree

I completely disagree with your premise that the gun had anything to do with the massacre of those children. You need to refer to Beau's post today on Rule 303. I have made his point several times myself - after Columbine, Parkland and many others. The cops are chicken shit. You want an unarmed person (or child) of color shot in the back while fleeing - they are all over it. But when the firing starts, they stand around with there heads in their ass, their hands on their gun butts and wait for "backup" while listening to the sounds of children dying. When you put on that uniform, you assume a solemn obligation to protect others. At some point that may require you to put your body between an AR15 and a 10 year old child. That's what the uniform requires. If you are not willing to do that, then get another job. THE WAY OF THE TRUE WARRIOR IS DEATH!
