As for the person who posted about the police officers are taught is correct - they are trained to stop a threat not wound someone. Bullets travel fast, standing there to see if the person is going to shoot is not an option, if they have a gun pointed at a police officer they run a great risk of being shot.

Six rulings from the supreme court of the united states government says different.By on of the ruling they said that they were their to solve crimes only.

They are now only money making arms of the state constantly fishing for something to arrest or fine you for to justify their pay check. Now that they have been removed from a to protect and serve role.

Very well said.
Our military takes risks. Firefighters take risks. Doctors and nurses take the risk of exposure to germs. Yes, police should also take risks instead of being too quick to hurt people if something else will work.
