But I am not a cop, perhaps there is a good reason for not doing that I don’t know about.
See, this is the mental gymnastics Jeebus is talking about. You’ll always bend over backwards to give the benefit of the doubt to the officers. Why aren’t you giving the same benefit of the doubt to the ones being shot here? It’s not helpful.
The officer is the one that stands accused, the benefit of the doubt goes to the defendant. Also it is true, I am not cop, I don’t have that kind of training, and there are things they do that might look wrong the untrained eye, but make sense then you’ve had the training. Finally, in today’s world there seem to be plenty that want to give the benefit of the doubt to the suspect and not to the cop. Maybe I feel like balancing things out a little.
