This behavior is the specific reason for the creation of the 2nd Amendment. Americans have the right to arm and defend themselves against criminal activity, and should do so if they wish to protect the livelihoods of themselves and their communities. Police are criminals if they engage in theft, and forfeit the special protections normally granted to them by the law.
- zenexer 8y agoFighting back against police officers is both illegal and a death sentence, regardless of your innocence. Whether that should be the case is a matter of debate, but if you fire on police during a raid, you’re going to die. If you somehow manage to survive, you’re going to be in jail for a long time. It’s as simple as that. Again, whether it should be this way is a matter of controversy, but that’s the way it is. As it currently stands, encouraging people to fight back with physical force against police is extremely irresponsible and shortsighted.
- craftinator 8y agoI don't think that retaliating against criminal theft is a matter of debate. If police behave criminally, they are subject to retaliation. This is the long sighted view, in that in the long run, fighting back against criminal behavior is a detterent against that behavior. Am I missing something here? Should we encourage thuggery and brigandry in our peace officers? Dangerous, yes, shortsighted, absolutely not.
