25. What of law? You are talking about rule of law enforcement and pretending it is the rule of law

Then you go with a bunch of hyperventilating lies to justify a bunch of bullshit rationalizing murder of anyone the cops wish to eliminate unless on rare occasion you can't come with some thin branch to stand on to justify the rogue gang of lawless thugs.

No I don't believe the cops have the right to execute anyone they don't feel is cooperative. Resisting arrest is a charge that sees it's day in court like any other and is not a capital offense either.

No, I don't think a blue thug has the right to use arrest powers to harass and intimidate and when a citizen says something about it that they get to choke you out much less kill you.

No, I don't believe that absent compelling video evidence that I must just buy whatever clock and bull some fuck with a badge spits out.

Yes, I believe taking on the job means you don't get to put your skin first, second, and third and if that is too much to accept then yes I believe you have the wrong position. You are sworn to protect and serve the community, power and authority is vested in you to do so. You cannot protect and serve acting under the assumption of a war zone.
