Good to see.

"Bad guys" do not exist; this is merely people subjectively perceiving themselves as protagonists while perceiving those whom they feel against as antagonists.
What do you mean help them? I would like to see them get into a place where society is safe from their illness and where efforts can be made to cure them and provide them with some rehabilitation.
What would you do ?, give him a big hug ?.What discussion is this thread supposed to generate?
Are we just watching this person getting shot and hoping he died.
What a pastime.
That's not it at all, we are not talking about mother Teresa here, were talking bout scumbags that can be very dangerous, and sometimes they need to be put down, as fast as possible for the sake of those who are good living people, What if one of those crazies held a gun to you, what do you do ?, hug them and kiss them ? lol.Reread my post.
I asked what the point of the thread was.
It's disappointing that one's concept of entertainment is watching some criminal get shot.
The old strawman excuse.Are you even reading my messages?
Okay... this doesn't answer my question or relate to my post at all?
No. Obviously. I wasn't defending the criminal at all. I was asking what discussion the thread was supposed to generate and of course you turn that into a strawman. Why am I not surprised?
Ok then. happy new year.I agree that the police officer was not in the wrong. Get that through your head.
I asked what discussion is supposed to emerge from this. I didn't say the person should get "hugs and kisses".
A bad guy that is.
Dramatic gunfight in Arizona Walmart caught on video
I only saw the video not
the story so I don't know if anyone died or not.
If the bad guy died then who cares?
Edit: I'm very sorry I said "who cares".
I never, not once, fired a shot at another human in my over 2 decades on the job.
I sure could have, and 3 times almost did.
I'm soooooooooooo very grateful I didn't.
I've known officers that killed men "in the line" and not one of them served long enough
to retire with time served.
They all were so troubled that they required therapy and eventually took disability
retirements.
You see most police officers really want to help others, not kill people.
I served over 10 years as a criminal investigator then made rank and took over a shift
as command officer.
I was in charge of the S.W.A.T. team and designated lead sniper.
I was taught by a famous military sniper named Carlos Hathcock who had 93 confirmed
kills in combat.
He wasn't quite "right" after that if you get my meaning.
Three of the times I could have shot someone and didn't it worked out.
One gave up and two committed suicide.
I wish I could forget some things.
Like the time I was trying to talk an old guy out of
shooting himself when he blew his head off right in front of me with a shotgun.
ewwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww
Sometimes I still have bad dreams about that.
To this day I fight the urge to go buy a bottle and get lost in it.
No one goes through such trauma without a damaged mind.
