The issue is, the officer helps the prosecutor. Who is going to prosecute you if you’re helping the prosecution? It’s a case of turning a blind eye because it suits the state.
I’m in total agreement though that if a police officer is found to have lied under oath, in statement, or report - they’re done. Same as one who discharges their firearm outside of a hostage/terrorist/school-shooting. Gunning down civilians, whatever their crime, is murder. Shooting someone because they are running and you can’t run fast - is murder.
- kevin_thibedeau 3y agoYou realize the police sometimes have to shoot at people who are trying to murder them? Violent criminals deserve to have their threat capacity neutralized in the most effective way possible. If it can't be done with non-injurious force then so be it.
- gabereiser 3y agoYou realize they don't have to shoot at people. The issue is the US's obsession with guns. Other countries do this without firearms successfully.
- thfuran 3y agoThere are some few cases where it's reasonable for the police to shoot someone. But when they all have guns and no training for de-escalation or sound rules of engagement, they end up shooting rather a lot of people who aren't even trying to murder them, let alone likely to succeed.
