They have the right to opt out of any given encounter, but the gist of law enforcement is intervening as you well know. Anyway, word lawyering is dreadfully boring and it seems that’s all you have to offer so I’m ducking out.
- monocasa 5y agoI disagree that addressing the core argument of your claim is "word lawyering". Your original full claim > Unless your job requires you to forcibly intervene between armed, violent offenders and their victims, I don’t see how this is relevant. doesn't hold water when police are also not required to forcibly intervene between armed, violent offenders and their victims.
- BobbyJo 5y agoI'm sorry, but the point you're trying to make here is just bad. If some is running around with a knife stabbing everyone and the police just watched because 'they don't want to have to kill anyone's do you think that'd be ok? That is the kind of thing the police force was designed to handle. Sometimes killing someone is the right thing to do when your job is dealing with situations like that.
