Civilians can end your life "without trial" if its in the right circumstance just like a police officer can. These are the the rules the courts put into place. And just to be clear I have no issue with self defense. A reminder we are not talking about police doing things against the law or if they get away with it more often.
- faitswulff 6y agoCivilians aren't universally armed with firearms and both formal and informal legal immunity. They aren't called upon to put an end tension situations. If the worst a health professional can do is commit you to a mental institution, it's still likely to be an improvement over being shot to death.
- trident5000 6y agoI'm not sure what the proportion of citizens armed with firearms has to do with this. Its about rights of citizens in the country, all of whom can defend themselves and end life without trial in the correct circumstance, being self-defence (as it should be). And nobody in the country should have the right to detain you without trial. If you really believe this I'm afraid that is quite short sighted.
- faitswulff 6y agoNo, I’m just saying that, given two poor choices, I’d rather not have firearms in the equation.
- lazyasciiart 6y agoBut police do have the right to detain you without trial. For years, sometimes - see Kalief Browder.
