Reply #58: cops are not paid to get killed [View All]

[crankybubba]

contrary to opinion of some here. use of force continuum allows an officer to meet potential deadly force with deadly force. are you willing to get killed on your job? probably not.(most wouldn't be)
Current law gives cops a wide berth to use deadly force when a suspect presents a danger to another person's life.

Paterson (D-Harlem) wrote that a police officer, under his legislation, "would have to try to shoot a suspect in the arm or the leg."

where does it say this..."this bill isn't for ALL circumstances of gun use by cops" do you have the bill handy I would love to read the text.

the fact is you are willing to allow some police casualties to avoid injury to an armed suspect. That is one of the most ludicrous things in this thread. monday morning quarterbacking is easy being in a deadly force situation is not.

this is not about gun rights. it's about common sense. this bill has none.
