@racebannon6257 Most dangerous thing for them is domestic calls and welfare checks. Actually, the most dangerous for civilians is welfare checks. More people are unalived during welfare checks than law enforcement just sitting in a car. In other words, they execute us more than the people executing them. Its ironic that they are supposed to be checking on someone, and that someone ends up severely wounded or worse. I think welfare checks need to be severely regulated. Paramedics should be the ones to respond to those situations.

[@squishyblanket]

@@valerierodger If you can shoot a chihuahua for absolutely no reason, or kill a man after he suffered a seizure, and absolutely NOTHING comes of it, then yeah, we have a serious problem. The only time in recent history where I can think of a cop actually being held accountable for their actions, they were only brought to justice *AFTER* massive public outcry and violent uprising. If the only time police are ever held accountable is when there is a violent uprising, rioting and looting, then that is a problem. You're the only one burying your head in the sand here, pretending we don't have an issue with police accountability (or lack thereof).
