Police don’t haphazardly fire anything into a crowd. Warnings beforehand including announcements on foghorns to disperse and often occur after curfew times previously declared are being violated.
None. This is what ends riots. If rioters know that instead of being caught and released in time for the next riot, they risk spending 30 years in a federal pen.
was a recent shooting in St Luis I believe. Guy shooting at cops outside of his bar standing in a crowd of people. Police “shot into the crowd”, and hit the guy shooting at them and no-one else. That is not indiscriminately shooting “into a crowd”, it was in fact very discriminating shooting “into the crowd”.
aside from that, if people willingly act as human shields for a terrorist, they deserve the same death.
Police can and do make mistakes when arresting people. I’d rather they not get used to the idea of roughing up people they think deserve it. How about you?
Punishment can and should severe in the court of law for bomb throwers.
Enough force should be used that is needed to make the arrest. Nothing more. Gooddad was winking at roughing up “bomb throwers”.
Keep in mind police make mistakes. They aren’t infallible. They may arrest the wrong person and roughing that person up? It isn’t their job to be judge and jury and mete out a roughing up punishment. Unfortunate that we have people like Gooddad that feel otherwise.
