The whole point of the baton, bean bag, megaphone, tazer, tear gas, etc... Is to give police non/less than lethal options to bring someone down.

They are not there to give police non ethal options for parking tickets, they are there for these situations.

the real question is what are you smoking?
and when did you decide it was a cops job to go around shooting people in the face?

Seems like cops use the non lethal option for arguments and they continue to use the lethal option for truely dangerous situations. Quite the big abuse of power.

Cops would rather the other guy be dead. They do that job all day long. They wouldnt live long in it if they gave everyone who had what looks like a gun the benefit of the doubt.

In a middle school hallway in the middle of the day - I don't think most cops consider that the dark and dangerous part of their job.

Dark alley, bank robbery, high speed chases, domestic abuse.... yeah you got a point.

Cops think of Columbine. Even a school is not safe for them. They cant take a chance if they want to live to retirement.

i got pulled over with one of those old toy guns, that barely even had a red tip, in my back seat once.
cop spotted it, freaked out with his hand on his gun (this was in the days before tazers or else im sure i would have met the tazer that day). i said its just an old cap gun that doesnt even work anymore. i reached back, grabbed it by the barrel and handed it to him. he laughed and said he remembered those things.

had thet been now adays i would have been dead with your modern paranoia police.


cops today could use a bit of retraining.
i mostly blame the media and dirty harry movies
