Are you going out there with them?

e7alr:
In the traffic stop, the officer doesn’t know who is in the car, or what they have done before the officer pulls them over for the traffic violation. Sometimes fate has it that the person being pulled over for the minor traffic violation is either an armed wanted felon, or has just engaged in major criminal behavior that the officer doesn’t know about, but the felons believe the officer knows and stopped them for what ever crime they just committed.
How many cops have been killed during routine traffic stops in the last ten years?
How many people have been killed by police during routine traffic stops?
Without looking up the data, which number do you think is larger?

WuWei:
You not down?
Again, I really don’t know what you’re trying to say.

Not really. Both are kept in homes for protection. But only one ends up killing the home owners.

Dude. The whole eating pets thing was a farce.

It doesn’t matter how many, each death, civilian or officer, is a tragedy. By all means spend more time and effort screening the officers, both before hiring, and on an ongoing basis. But disarming them will only get officers killed and injured by bad guys. The life and safety of the officers is equally as important as that of the community, not less, and not more. But those officers, by the nature of the job, will have many more encounters with dangerous situations and individuals than the law abiding general public.

Wouldn’t be the first time something like this happened. Dogs and cats started disappearing from the housing area on Ft Polk back in 1980. We had a significant population from Southeast Asia, where dog and cat is a common food item. The animals were being taken to make traditional Asian dishes for sale in a restaurant down in Leesville.

No. The term is wrong.
How so? If, as Allan says, “every person’s common sense is different” then by definition, it is not common sense because it has no commonality.

What if the shooting doesn’t start until the cop(s) get there?

tnt:
It has nothing to do with their time on the job. It has to do with their assignment.
For example, the cops in my town haven’t fired a weapon in something like 18 years. Half of them on the beat don’t need to be armed. That’s my opinion.
And never in the 48 years I’ve been in my house have I ever discharged a fire extinguisher. in other words … So what?

It’s not my story and I’m not pushing it. My only point is that the lack of police reports does not mean that it’s false. LOGIC!
