With that in mind, as sbane pointed out, not everyone becomes a cop to beat up folks. Though if this happened in South Central L.A., would you think that the shooter was just as justified?
No. Though this quote does sum up most cops:
"You don't become a cop because you want to serve and protect. You join the force because they let you carry a gun and a badge. You do it because you get respect. Most people respect the badge. Everyone respects the gun."
Just curious, did you get that from a movie? I think I heard it somewhere, but not sure where.
And, I voted yes. I don't see any need for an excuse to kill any cop, anywhere.
