Still waiting on someone to answer why the US has a higher incident rate of police killing cillivians than other developed countries. It can't be the 2A as we all make the argument that bad guys will use anything ad a weapon if they didn't have guns and the data shows that the police do in fact kill bad guys that are armed with weapons other than guns. So what is it? Does the US just have that many more bad guys than the rest of the world? If that's the case what is causing the number of bad guys to be so high here compared to the rest of the world?

I'm sure the vast majority of those shot failed to comply with the officers' commands. A lot of parents don't teach respect for authority these days, including the parents themselves, teachers, and LEOs.

People don't generally fail to comply in many countries, because they know they'll likely get a beatdown (or shot). Apparently our bad guys are slow learners.

Apparently third world mentality (beatdowns and getting shot) and the issuance of unlawful commands by LEO is now the norm. Just because they have a badge and a gun the police are still ruled by the law of the land and the constitution they swore to uphold.

Who said the commands were unlawful?

Lmao! I rest my case ... I've lost track of the number of times I've been pulled over in my lifetime ... So far. Those who know me KNOW I'm no shrinking violet. I've voiced my displeasure with said stop during same, if I didn't have it coming, but I've never been beaten, or shot (at or by) or raped by a LEO. I have gotten tickets ... I have gotten warnings. I have been in handcuffs on the side of the road and had a seat in the patrol car while the officers in charge of the scene worked through their process. I wasn't the one who went to jail that night. If I had thrown the hissy-fit some of you guys say you would I most likely would have a record right now. Jesus, some of you have absolutely no common sense at all.

I HAVE been beaten, shot at (thank God the MFer missed) and raped by "Regular Joes". By y'all's logic I should be more afraid of showing up for an ENS, or leaving the house without bodyguards, than any other person on the planet.

I dunno how some of you guys manage to get backed out of the driveway in the mornings, much less to where ever it is you are wanting to go. I gotta say, I'd be embarrassed to admit to being that afraid of ANYTHING as you guys seem to be of the Po-Po. Except snakes ... I get to take a pass on snakes ... Those things scare me to death! Lol
