Wow, if someone is pulled over for a fog light out and casually rests their hands naturally in a pocket as they do many times a day, you would kill them?
Hypothetical situation:
You are a LEO.
You pull someone over for a fog light out.
You give them a verbal command to keep their hands visible.
They go for their pocket...
Quoting scripture won't get you home safely at the end of your shift.
Decisive action will.
Please God tell me you’re not a LEO?
No I'm not - I don't think I would have what it takes. Lots of intestinal fortitude to go out there ever day and face crap like this.
I'm just a lazy SOB with an office job that treats the 99% of decent LEO with the respect they deserve, and I appreciate the fact that they are out there putting their own lives in peril to keep the POS scum off the streets so I can sleep safely at might. Pretty lame, huh?
I'm not advocating using deadly force for every freaking traffic stop, but rather reinforcing the notion that hesitation to act using training and protocol can mean going home or not.
All the social media and BLM B.S. over the last year or so is causing too many LEO's to hesitate in situations and is costing them their lives.
