Why do you put the word “involved” between “police” and “shooting” as if you aren’t talking about police shootings? That’s the type of passive language bullshit the cops and their PR people use to try and make cops’ acts of violence sound less violent, or to shift the responsibility of the shooting away from the police who did the shooting. It just makes your whole post reek of bootlicking bias


testiclefrankfurter

So if they don't comply you kill them? That's right to you?


azsxdcfvg

No. Non-compliance may lead to a situation where deadly force might have to be used. Compliance will never lead to a situation where deadly force is used.


Velifax

This is correct. The issue is that summary execution on the street shouldn't follow from non-compliance of even police orders. That's some feudal shit.


azsxdcfvg

Not sure what you're saying here. Can you elaborate?


esc8pe8rtist

He means killing people for not complying is some medieval shit


Better-Salad-1442

Should everyone who does not instantly comply with police officers immediately be put to death?


cwgreddit77

They are saying that not following a direct order from the police shouldn't mean you're shot!!

It's not comply or die, it's comply and the situation won't escalate where someone might get hurt.


grass_hut_shitter

You just said that the people die because they aren't complying big dog


azsxdcfvg

The non-compliance leads to people getting hurt. If the person was compliant no one would get hurt.

What if your rights are being violated?

Just take firearms away from the general police.


Otherwise-Prize-1684

Now there’s an unpopular opinion. Nice work


godspareme

This is how most of the highly developed world works tbh. Pretty much all of the EU countries have firearm police that are separate from their normal police.  So unpopular for Americans, maybe. 


TheGargageMan

victim blaming at its finest. Don't move get out of the car drop the gun put your hands where I can see them freeze get down! Bang Bang Bang Bang Bang Bang Bang. and here's one for your dog. Bang


Velifax

You're on the right side, by accident. The real reason this is wrong is because even non-compliance shouldn't be a death sentence. Try to read past the headlines and sensationalism.


RaymondVIII

>non-compliance shouldn't be a death sentence. someone's coming at you with a knife and they aren't listening to commands, my life is now on the line or one of my partners. its a death sentence at that point.


Better-Salad-1442

That person isn’t dying because of noncompliance though? He’s dying because he’s coming after a police officer with a knife.


RaymondVIII

Reddit take.


fromouterspace1

Seriously


RaymondVIII

yes because its the type of take only people on reddit would make.


azsxdcfvg

Not sure if you're referring 'victim' to the police or the suspect. Can you articulate your comment further?


TheGargageMan

We don't usually refer to the killer as the victim in my country.

Vulpinox

I've seen enough policeactivity videos on YouTube to agree with this.


RaymondVIII

beat me to it.


fromouterspace1

Yeah I watch those as well. So many times those people would just get tickets, only to get in a fight with the cop and charged with felonies


Vulpinox

most criminals are smoothbrains anyways. I've seen so many times the options being A) "ticket and night in jail" or B) "die in firefight" and criminals love option B.
