Also known as idiots. I understand holding cops to high standards, but 90% of the shootings anti-cop protesters point to were completely justified given the situation.

And in the instances where they were not justified... were the officers convicted of murder? Manslaughter? Illegally discharging a firearm? There are numerous instances where the cops act like they're above the law, IE: The Florida officers who harassed that one female officer who pulled over a fellow cop who was going 100MPH. I never heard of them being prosecuted for illegally using their system to lookup her details. I distrust officers because of how rare it is for obvious violations of the law to result in more than a token prosecution, due to an inherent conflict of interest in the system.

I agree fully. But that's a question for the justice system. Thus doesn't warrant the anti-cop mentality that's so prevalent nowadays.

exactly. the media cover the ambiguous or wrong ones on purpose so that guys like you can come along and call it out and then the two sides argue back and forth. If this was the bart station shooting over again the cops would be in the wrong 100% there would be no justification and no debate to be had. The media want conflict and controversy because that drives viewership and distracts from other issues the government doesn't want you to see (TPP, Hillary, Turkey, etc.)

This is why. They aren't killing just to kill. They're protecting themselves from thugs who they deal with every single day.

Understand this, don't be an idiot, and you won't get shot. It's not hard.
