If cops are no longer the defenders of the rights of the citizens, when citizens fear for their safety, which could just be a cop with a phone, shouldn't they be allowed to remove the threat?
I would argue we are certainly getting to that point.
It is the reason that I am on the fence with respect to Black Lives Matters. I understand they are terrible people, and mostly bought and paid for rioters. But at the end of the day, I have watched over a dozen events in the last 6 to 8 years where cops have gunned down people who have not offered any threat at all. All of the blame for those shootings and other killings are on the cops, yet they all got away with it. I know for a fact the police must be reformed. So, I support that aspect of things.

I would say it is a citizen's duty to remove that threat.

BLM is still a Marxist organization.
It's okay to protest police brutality while NOT supporting the Marxist scam operation called BLM.
