So far we've heard that shooting people is acceptable, but running over them isn't. Any other options that would be acceptable?
Just trying to sort things out and expose the obvious bias that is going on here. Some people simply won't ever admit that cops are put into impossible situations where their only option is a bad one.
What about the protesters? Did they have better options? Maybe could have handled things differently? Oh right, they were 'peaceful' and not a 'threat.'
I get how this works.  |
Well if that's what you got from Oling's post this isn't going to make much sense. He was being obviously ironic with the shooting comment. And there have been numerous suggestions made about what a normal cop would do.
What I really disagree with is the bolded. This cop was not in an impossible situation at all. In fact there were two other cruisers right there that didn't run everyone over. It was anything but a choice between bad options.
