25 American officers have been shot and killed so far in 2020.

Oh, I agree. But even considering everything else that went wrong, that they did wrong, it was the shooting that made this an incident. It would been terrible if he hadn't ended up dead, but that just made the tragedy and the aftermath more reprehensible.

y isolating it to the actual shooting, I'm just trying to argue what those who deem it justified appear to be claiming. That's not to diminish everything else they did wrong, because up until then, the victim was still alive.


I've seen a lot of arguments over the last couple of weeks (not so much here) that police in the US need all these guns and training and etcetera because there are so many guns in the States.


And while that's true, why do most of these shootings seem to be people who have no guns? Everyone who's being honest has the answer.
