you can’t give the executive branch a blank check to kick down your door and start issuing orders and/or beating you to death.

And there's a vast, vast gulf between persecuting local cops when a crackhead overdoses in their presence, and creating a door kicking police state.

I quite simply don't care if criminals die at the hands of the police. If anything I'd like to see it happen more frequently. The only problem here is that we allow leftists into positions of authority, so that they pervert legitimate authority to serve Marxism.

But that is not a problem with the paradigm of policing in and of itself.

If a criminal isn’t resisting arrest or physically threatening an officer of the law, why would it be fine for a cop to kill them? That’s a police state, when the cops become the judge, jury, and executioner. Last I checked it’s not what the founding fathers had in mind for our criminal justice system.

Isn't what happens the vast, vast, VAST majority of the time liberals try to cry about "police brutality". In fact, in almost every single instance of so called police brutality, it was a black man in the process of attempted murder in order to try and avoid being arrested.

Let me tell you something about due process. Due process starts the moment you are taken into custody for processing, and not one goddamn instant before. If you try to run or fight, you are resisting due process and what happens is on you.

If the police have to kill you to stop you, oh well. You roll the dice, you take your chances.

I agree. Its part of why the woke /BLM movement is so toxic for the youth who are buying it. They’re told all cops want to kill them simply because they’re a POC. This creates fear, which leads to a “do or die” scenario. The media has blood on their hands and should be called to account for their misinformation campaigns that lead to dead POCs. And yeah, of course there’s a contingent of criminals who simply don’t care about acting responsibly and complying with lawful orders because they don’t want to go to jail.
