Do you believe that citizens both black and white should be held responsible for their actions?

When would you agree that it is alright for PD to use deadly force? At what point has the said citizen crossed the line to far?

Do you believe cops should have the right to defend themselves before the person in question fires a bullet at them? Or should they only fire once fired upon?
Police are allowed to escalate.

Civilians are not.

Police are trained to deal with life or death scenarios.

Civilians are not.

There's 3 solid amendments about how police should not be killing people period. There should be no special case outside of normal self-defense to allow for killing people.

Police get acquitted for firing 4 bullets into a man pulled over and telling the cop he's nkt reaching for the gun because the cop couldn't see his hand. That's not self-defense.

I fail to see how you need special protections under the law when you have extra training and apparently military grade equipment to enforce it. It's comical to defend.
