New Mexico seems to be in midst of a police involved shooting blitz lately. The citizenry of course is looking at this all as excessive force by the police, but they only see what the press  shows us via their skewed reporting. The press wants sensation, not factual reporting and that makes cops jobs even more difficult.

Why should a criminal comply with the cops? He can run and shoot at the cops and when he gets shot or caught, the press will spin the whole incident as the police are at fault. No wonder we’re seeing the militarization of police departments, they have no choice.

Never in all my life have I seen a more divisive stance of the public, it’s us against them and we’re all on the side of law and order. Sure he committed a crime and it’s true he had a gun and he may have pointed the gun at the cops, but damn it, they didn’t have to shoot him!

Yesterday we had another police shooting. Domestic battery? Looks like it. Did he have a gun? The reporting caller said yes. Did he comply with officers when they arrived at the scene? Nope! He ran and then shoved his hands in his pockets. Seven shots fired, all scored! Great shooting guys.

People never realize that cops are trained to shoot for center mass. No one’s trained to wing the bad guy. No one is trained to shoot the gun out of the bad guy’s hand. Center mass. It’s for the cop’s protection and to limit other people from getting hit.

Shit, people are stupid. Cops are our employees, employed by us to keep us safe. Do you think that when the police department and the cops are sued by the bad guy or his family that the money comes from some magical source that just happens to pop up when some moronic jury awards money? No, it comes from taxpayers. We pay the award.

Of course that type of person, and most likely his family, are probably on the lower end of the socio-economic scale, so it’s truly doubtful that they pay taxes and most likely are being paid by us already since they’re shit poor, so I guess it makes sense for them to expect us to pay for their criminal relative’s misdeeds.

Society, I hate you.
