Guest Posted April 15, 2023 Share Posted April 15, 2023 My cousin was LEO in London, England for 20+ years and never carried a firearm. Far more civilized country though I'll admit. I've lived in my town since 1976 and in all that time the only time an LEO has used their sidearm was to shoot a bear or a skunk. No cop has ever shot a person here, ever as far as I know.

You go on somebody’s property without permission or cause and trespass while armed you are committing a crime. The cops had no business being armed on that guys personal property. I don’t care what they were there for. If they weren’t carrying guns this guy would still be alive. Way more innocent people die from police gun fire then police die from criminal gun fire. It’s a huge disparity and not even comparable. This guy was exercising his constitutional right and the government took his constitutional right away as well as his life. why couldn’t police carry non lethal weapons instead of lethal ones? Domestic dispute that resulted in a call to 911. So basically what you're saying is, let the domestic continue and whoever's getting the shit beat out of them - let it happen. Cops can't go on the scene to try and help because they're trespassing. What in the flying fuck kind of logic is that? We may as well stop now, because you won't change my mind and I won't change yours. I already said the officers involved with this need to be held accountable for their actions. But I stand by the notion that the good cops outnumber the bad cops ... and by a significant percentage & claiming ALL cops are trash is DERP worthy. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No cop has ever shot a person here, ever as far as I know. Policing in the US isn’t even in the top 20 of dangerous jobs in the US. Being a crossing guard in the US saves more people than police could ever hope to while cross guards die at a greater rate. Policing in the US kills substantially more people annually than people kill police. Just facts. Police commit 97% of their homicides with fire arms…. Some justifiable but overwhelming majority are unjustified. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why does it take an armed individual to respond to domestic dispute? Why not use a taser when they answer the door?

Rarely, and I mean rarely do domestic disputes require a gun to be drawn and a trigger pulled. They are as routine as a cat stuck in a tree. Why not use a taser responding to them or other non lethal means. Non lethal policing is very successful around the world.

What’s the reason? If they are close enough to shoot a man in his doorway they could have used tasers and stun guns in most cases just as effectively as firearms. And nobody would die? If any cops see a gun they freak, they are taught to freak the fuck out and innocent people die. Do you freak out if a cop is carrying a gun? Do you freak out if you see somebody carrying a gun? cops freak the fuck out and lose their shit if they see a gun and pull there gun and start firing instantly.

Six of those cases involved officers being engaged by gunfire from over 50 feet. ➢ A Man with a Gun and Shots Fired call types both increased dramatically over the numbers found in the first analysis (Fatal Calls and Deadly Encounters). Those two firearm related calls for service nearly doubled and in a shorter time span than that covered in the initial report. ➢ The average length of service for officers killed while answering a call for service was 13.5 years. https://www.thetrace.org/2016/08/domestic-violence-police-risk-danger/ https://www.cbsnews.com/newyork/news/nypd-domestic-violence-calls/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are constitutional carry in my state. Can conceal carry without a permit. Have I knocked on doors and the people that answer have a gun. Yes, on occasion! Did it make me want to shoot them? No…..

There are literally 10,000 of thousands of domestic dispute calls in each of our biggest cities monthly…. Likely millions a year in total across the country. Cat in a tree call. https://bmcpublichealth.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.1186/s12889-022-14901-3 If a couple officers die responding or ambushed their gun is neither a deterrent or a savior of them during the initial response. more people hit the mega million and Powerball jackpots in a year then the amount of police officers killed responding to domestic violence. Way More innocent people die at the hands of police and them using guns then there are police that die at the hands of non police using guns.

Gold Member Kivalo Posted April 15, 2023 Gold Member Share Posted April 15, 2023 1 hour ago, BOHICA said: You have a constructional right if you are a law abiding citizen to protect yourself in self defense. Armed individuals knocked for no reason on his door intending to do harm to him and his family. He has a constitutional right to protect himself, his family and his property. Murder, attempted murder, hate crime, and civil right violation committed by these cops You are not trespassing by knocking on someones door baring a no trespass sign, which I don't believe is there. Once the property owner or whomever tells you to leave then it becomes trespass. Also I've heard there are other body cam videos so perhaps one of those will shed light on wether this guy pointed a gun at LEO or not. Simply possessing a firearm is absolutely not grounds to shoot that person. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gold Member BOHICA Posted April 16, 2023 Gold Member Share Posted April 16, 2023 Last year, an armed man in Oslo, Norway stole an ambulance, injuring four people and firing shots as he drove. Police officers chasing the vehicle fired their guns—but not at him. Instead, they shot the wheels of the ambulance to slow the vehicle and arrested the armed man. “Police in Norway do encounter very dangerous situations—albeit less frequently than American police,” says Paul Hirschfield, a professor of sociology at Rutgers University who focuses on policing. “But when in danger, they are far more reluctant to resort to deadly force.” Norway is one of 19 countries worldwide where police officers are typically unarmed, and permitted to use guns only in exceptional circumstances. These countries, which include the United Kingdom, Finland, and Iceland, seldom see deadly incidents involving police officers. While 1090 people were killed by police in the United States in 2019, Norway saw no deaths at the hands of police officers for the same year.

No reason cops should fired upon firstbe carrying weapons and if they do they need to have rules of engagement that consist of they have to be fired upon first before they can fire their weapons….
