Don't know if it's a repost, but worth repeating even if it is. :tiphat:

That's good, gigag. He needs to be that and more. That is why I react so strongly when I see threads like the one where police shot and killed a person at the wrong house the other the other night. It wasn't just the actual shooting that got me going. That was bad enough....but it was the comments of the LEO's superior who tried to blame the dead man for the police officer's mistakes.

Being a cop is a hard job, and I want well qualified cops to be very well paid for what they do—as well as for what we might ask them to do in a pinch—because it is a hard job and good cops are a special kind of person. It is a heavy responsibility, and it requires accountability to flow both ways.

"he must make instant decisions which would require months for a lawyer"
:smash: I bet I am almost as tired of the lawyer jokes/negative comments as LEOs on this site are of the generalizations listed within that video.

Good post. I recognize the voice of the narrator, but can't put a name to it. :headscratch

:banghead: I guess it was because he didn't use his tagline. :oops:
