Monfort, Shot Almost dead
The cops in Washington obviously kill more people than the gangs in the area. That in itself is using the weapons too often.
The information that I provide is all that is fed to the public. Very spotty, and left with HUGE holes in every story.
In many of the instances the murdered were armed, yet never fired a round.
These victims are not drama, but dead.
I am not using a Rodney King defense. I am simply stating that the people that are expected to uphold the law, are doing so in a viscous manor. At this point, we can not say the two Seattle cops were shot for that reason. I can however say " I am surprised this is the first time anyone has taken the law into their own hands"
Death is forever, and to protect life and property is the duty of a sworn officer. Somehow we are still living in a land where property is worth more than life.
I believe that a everyone, short of an actual "random" murderer,is safer when a pursuit is done wisely, not aggressively. With a good Identification, everyone will get caught eventually. With good surveillance all captures can be safer.
a high adrenaline gun wielding, high speed chase forcing, police force is ten times more likely to end in property damage, personal injury, and or death. Where passive measures will prevail 9 times out of ten.
Technology has advanced to the point where tracking and finding and individual can be done evasively and safely. Shooting a GPS sensor on a trunk of a car would be much safer and more effective than a pit maneuver (even though they do look like fun to perform ).
Especially when you see a pit maneuver pulled on a motorcyclist. When you know the action you chose is likely to result in SERIOUS injury or DEATH, Then you are making a conscious effort to maul or KILL.
That is all I would like to change... The mindset that KILLING is just part of the job.
