I muddied the waters on this thread, and for that I apologize.
I originally spoke up because I was bummed out by the broad swath comments made towards LE, such as:
He is not a disgrace to good cops. He is a typical cop.
As long as they view themselves as special and different from the rest of the population, we will always have a problem.
Unfortunately the law rarely applies to the other side of the "thin blue line".
Bingo. It's no secret that cops like to kill. If a cop kills a "criminal" they are heroes. If an ordinary man kills a cop, they have essentially killed a god based up media emotion and law.
Fuk the police. To serve and protect my ass.
To serve & protect now means to shoot to kill...even if your life isn't in danger. Then hide behind the badge. Pussies shouldn't become cops.
Etc. etc.
I could have done a better job of prefacing my comments with the fact that in defending LE professionals as a whole, my intent was not to support the officer in question here. For that I apologize.
As for the video of officer Dinkheller, I shared that because it left a profound impact on me and I thought it was an appropriate reminder of the potential that these public servants face every day while protecting and serving.
