      Still not seeing anything of value

      Well, look. I’m not going to become a cop just so you can value my opinion on things.

        Oh, you absolutely should not be a cop.

        You should go read a few history books, and maybe take a few civics classes, but you should absolutely not be a cop.

            Because you have never had any formal training on the laws governing use of force, and your worldview is shaped by the opinions of people who have never had any formal training on the laws governing use of force. Unfortunately, with a few rare exceptions (Chris Dorner, Philando Castile spring to mind) the deceased also had no formal training on the laws governing use of force.

            Dorner knew them, and committed suicide by cop. Castile knew them, followed them, and was murdered.

            It is a travesty that our government only provides this training to police. It should be taught in high-school civics/social studies/government classes, so the general public is aware of when it can use force, and when force may be used on it.

              Cops’ “formal training” includes courses on “kill-ology”. They get rewarded with paid vacation and the adoration of people like you. I’ve run into people like you on reddit. As long as I keep responding, you’re planning to fire off one of these pro-murderpig comments every 24 hours or so to see how long you can keep me going.

              As with reddit, I can choose to not participate. I’m making that choice. Inflict yourself on someone else. I’m free to leave.
