If and only if a shot needs to be fired, can it not be one to disable rather than kill? Yes, the police in many countries do not have the respect that they deserve on the whole but then that goes for just about every profession in which authority is or should be advocated. We need teach kids and people to act responsibly and accept the consequences of their actions. Sadly sometimes some truly innocent person is in the wrong place at the wrong time, but that doesn't mean that they deserve their troubles. People should not be singled out because they are a certain skin colour, ethnicity, educated or religion. The media also bear a lot of responsibility as they are able to edit and portrait things as they wish especially if it "sells".Michellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08043171190520380845noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8636111343812044798.post-40593300455267975612014-08-23T09:22:23.143-05:002014-08-23T09:22:23.143-05:00Sam, your comments are inflammatory and racist.

This is oh so wrong. again glad to be a retired LEO.

Unfortunately, there are no doubt a few less than sterling police departments in the U.S., and maybe the media shows their faults too. I'm not referring to the Police in the St. Louis area, by the way.Gypsyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18052445200220681513noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8636111343812044798.post-8062184689881353312014-08-19T19:59:45.751-05:002014-08-19T19:59:45.751-05:00I remember years ago when our son thought about be...I remember years ago when our son thought about becoming a police officer. As time went on, he changed his mind. I asked why, and he said "because you have to deal with too many stupid people". <br /><br />Yup.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.travelwithkevinandruth.com" rel="nofollow">www.travelwithkevinandruth.com</a>Kevin Readhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05795747155781311686noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8636111343812044798.post-82052805584357825032014-08-19T18:20:45.140-05:002014-08-19T18:20:45.140-05:00CNN is the WORST!!
