Reply to comment by vexingsilence in AG: Police shot and killed teenager allegedly armed with knife in Gilford | New Hampshire Public Radio by ACOdysseybeatsRDR2

Few things:

When I said "left alone" I mean alone. I didn't mean "leave them in the house with other people". Cops don't need to shoot people to prevent them from hurting themselves.

I train with cops and have multiple friends that are cops. They are well aware that many folks wearing the badge have no business doing so and are a danger to themselves and the public.

Be aware of where you get your news, especially on the autonomous zone stuff. I have friends who lived on the outskirts of it and it was very clear that the Proud Boys were rolling in there nightly to stir shit up and there was a very strong indication they were coordinating with Seattle PD. To be clear, my friends are non-political people who were just passing along what they would literally see out their window.

So now you're opening the door for the knife wielder to flee or to end their own life. Then the same people who are already vilifying the police would be angry that the cops stood by and did nothing. You're also assuming that there wasn't anyone involved that wasn't able to flee from the guy with the knife. What next, the person that called 911 gets called a murderer too? Let's make calling 911 illegal, that'll fix it for sure.

Oh fuck off with that shit. They had nothing to do with the shooting incident with the two teens in the stolen SUV.

So what do they actually do about that, then? Do they snitch on their fellow cops? Or do they just kinda accept that public danger?
