Isn't that a bit dramatic? If US police officers were ordered to shoot to kill, I highly doubt there would be no defectors.

- Nextgrid 6y agoDepends on the skin color and/or political leanings of the crowd they're asked to shoot.
- aaomidi 6y agoYou're being downvoted but you're absolutely right. We have literally done this before: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1985_MOVE_bombing?wprov=sfti1 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1985_MOVE_bombing?wprov=sfti1 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pittsburgh_railroad_strike_of_1877?wprov=sfti1 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pittsburgh_railroad_strike_of_...
- AYBABTME 6y agoI'm not saying there would be no shooter. I'm saying there definitely would be officers who would refuse to carry out the orders. There's already been such cases over the last year, when non-lethal weapons were used. It's just unreasonable and of bad faith to state that no US police officers would resign similarly to how some do in Myanmar.
