Isn't this all moot? I mean, cops are out there to defend us. They take marginal pay, in a dangerous job, to defend YOUR right to sit here and bitch about them.
This officer defended him or herself, as WELL as an innocent person from on the street in a manner that was decisive. I'm sorry but its all well and good to sit here and deconstuct this, but someone was out there making less than you, DEFENDING you, and many are still bitching.
Go out, have a gun pointed at a fellow officer, with an innocent victim held hostage, and tell me you would not shoot. To the officer that pulled the trigger, all I can do is extend my sympathies for putting up with the jerks that question you, I only hope that in a situation such as you were in, I would be half the person.
I have said before, my daughter wants to be a cop. Its dangerous, but THIS is why I don't want her to be a cop. I know that with the right upbringing she will make the right decisions. But to be questioned for acting in a situation such as this, it's horrible. I don't want my daughter to be a cop because she might be crucified by the same people she wants to protect.
I got a PM from a police officer that read this, and I printed it out for my daughter. She hung it on her wall. For all the cops out there, I want you to know, theres a 7 year old girl out there who worships you. Keep it up, please. You are still heroes to some.
