I implore others to not just listen to Mfm, and actually watch the videos I linked to and then see what you think of Mike The Cop.
I’m sorry, but I agree with mfm here. I don’t have the time, and I really am not interested in being required to invest half and hour each to such videos.
Fine, but then don’t make your mind up about the guy without watching what he has to say.
Additionally, if you don’t have a weapon, you shouldn’t be at risk of being shot. Period. Supreme Court ruling or no.
Police are not clairvoyant. Sometimes you don’t know whether a person is armed until the afterwards. As I said they ruling states that police can shoot if they believe the suspect poses an imminent danger to people around the suspect.
Consider a drive by shooting happens. You are a cop. You are given description of the vehicle, which includes make, and model and the fact that window was shot out. Soon after the shooting, around the area the shooting took place, you stop a vehicle that matches the description, make and model and a shot out window in the correct area of the car. You see two guns in the car. Suddenly one the occupants of the car takes off on foot. You have no idea if he is armed or not(even though two guns were in the car, it doesn’t mean another one wasn’t on his person). For all you know he was involved in the shooting. What do you? (and keep in mind you have less time to decide than it took you read this paragraph)
