So it is ok to see people get killed, but not getting nude

If I remember correctly the last officer died from his wounds but he touched the back of the car to leave a finger print.

USA needs to spend some tax money on identifying the root causes of violence in their culture/society. Once you know what the problem is 1/

2/ then you can spend some more taxpayers money dealing with the problems. At the moment the argument is oversimplified to guns/no guns

Look how safe all these guys are.

And now Russian traffic videos seem to be like a civil argument compared.

As a dispatcher, this is my biggest fear. Not having a unit close enough to back up the primary unit.
biolologist
How often do you worry about the officers you send to a call killing an innocent person?
thisisjustmytemporaryusername
Actually never. The officers at my agency are great. Once one of them arrested someone wrongfully and he was fired. We have a good chief.

Where is this out of curiosity? Must be a fairly small area to not have a distressing level of misconduct.

CapitalizingOnTheAbsenseOfAReasonableUsernameCharacterLimit
Fuck... The first officer didn't even shoot the guy when he pulled out his gun.
raidleadergutts
Funny how none of the power-tripping, trigger-happy psycho cops stumble upon guys like these. The problem would sort itself out.
captainjenkins
Don't pull the gun unless you intend to use it.
CapitalizingOnTheAbsenseOfAReasonableUsernameCharacterLimit
The guy tried to pull the gun on the cop. The cop got his gun out first, and instead of taking a life, he gave him a chance to surrender.
MikeVick
Cops are different, they pull it if they feel a situation could result in deadly force. Basically the gun is a dick waving contest.
MikeVick
That's what guns are to cops. They are the final step to getting someone to stand down before it's too late.
SithRuleOfTwo
I always consider both sides. These are clear instances of the cop being in clear danger. But being on someones chest, arms pinned down...
Greaticalia164
Somehow the answer is we need more guns because guns = safety
BlueBomber05
If the cops were armed too, these situations wouldn't have happened...wait

Unlike the half naked lady posts, this one actually needs to be marked mature.
BigDaddyBacon
No. More people need to see this to know what kind of morons there are in this world.
Mirawatts
It's still mature content. A LOT of people don't like seeing others die. I agree it's important to see, but it's serious shit.
ImmaEaty0Face
I don't see how watching someone get shot/killed can affect someone's day in the slightest. Maybe it's just me....
Eyesofaknee
If watching a person get killed elicits zero reaction from you, you may need to see a therapist for that desensitization issue.
ooMogar
Nope if you're gonna complain about nudity you're damn well gonna mark footage of murders.
FaithAlone
The only thing these videos have in common with everything going on right now is the guns. Maybe we just have too many damn guns.
Mirawatts
Correlation is not causation. You know what else is in all of these clips? Criminals and police officers.
pwnface
Maybe we have too many police officers around, we should ban cops and see what happens.
outoforbit500g
you know how it goes; blame the gun, not the person. never consider the factors that lead to violence, that requires too much mental effort.
WaterTastesLikeWater
you can never get rid of crime or criminals. guns just make crime more deadly.

Everyone acknowledges it's a dangerous job. And just as measures are implemented to reduce the harm to cops by criminals1/2

we also need to implement measures to reduce the harm to civilians by cops.2/2

No no, all cops are heroes and saints and if you refuse to accept this and worship them you must be a rapist and murderer!
sol3141
Welcome to the job, if youd rather some innocent collateral casualties than your own life, youre in the wrong line of work.
Emilide
Take the guns out of each of these instances and it can't escalate that quickly.
screenaholic
A knife would have been just as bad in the first one.
Emilide
Mostly agreed. I think he'd have had more of a chance defending against a knife than a gun. Knifes are still nasty though in the wrong hands
Thereisnosafeword
You think a cop unaware that the person he was arresting had a knife would be able to defend against it? LOL. Confirmed. You're retarded.
Thereisnosafeword
You're fucking retarded. In that first one, even without guns, the officer is outnumbered. It EASILY could have escalated.
Emilide
I am not fucking retarded. I think that having fewer guns in the hands of civilians would help reduce the whole police getting shot part.
Thereisnosafeword
You are fucking retarded. Sorry you had to find out this way.
Mycologics
So as a Dutch man I don't know what it's like living in the US but after seeing this how can you NOT be for gun regulations

As an American, I stopped caring. I'm applying for jobs abroad. Fuck most Americans and they're self destructive opinions.

You know how many cops have died because they were shot in the last few years? None. The answer s none

He's Dutch, you illiterate moron.
HalloweenAintTillManana
We have plenty of gun regulations. We just have a lot of bad people.
Mycologics
Then why have them available for so many people?
HalloweenAintTillManana
We just have so many they can be purchased illegally. The govt trying to take them back would lead to nothing less than a civil war.
biolologist
So you're saying that there are people who will kill their fellow citizens in order to protect the availability of illegal guns?
HalloweenAintTillManana
No but legal guns turn into illegal ones in the wrong hands so they would have to take legal guns from legal gun owners to change things.
whytezombie
because bad guys with guns will still have guns.
chickenfriedriceisdabomb
Gotta love the lib-tards downvoting complete common sense like this.
Mycologics
But the petty robber and thief don't have guns. Or if they have them it's never used.
Mycologics
There are bad guys with guns her too. Yet there have almost zero incidents. The incidents that happened were between organised crime members
whytezombie
I have so much to type, but I don't feel like talking to a wall. Nothing I type will change your mind.
Mycologics
You're right it probably won't change my mind about guns. But I'm genuinely curious what your reason for having them in your country is
Mycologics
Give me your main reason then. We don't have to agree nor do I have to change my mind. That's the thing about a discussion. To learn
Frelock
Having guns is a deterrent both to tyranny and to crime. CDC study said that more guns were used to prevent crimes than to perpetrate them.
Secular
You're not wrong in that being an officer is dangerous but we hold them to a higher standard BECAUSE we give them power over us.
SomeGuyYourMomKnows
Your higher standards are unobtainable and the alternative is anarchy. I'll take a trigger happy copy of a rapist on my daughter any day.
Secular
Not pulling your gun as a first resort or having a modicum of self control is "unobtainable"? Sure you know what that word means?
wrathbaby
I don't think you meant to say you want "a trigger happy copy of a rapist on my daughter". I really don't.
SomeGuyYourMomKnows

wrathbaby
I don't think that makes it better? You would rather have a trigger happy copy of a rapist THAN your daughter? I am so confused.

What's the point in even having police if they don't have "power over us". That's the same as me telling you not to do something then.

Its law here in Sweden. I think it should be everywhere. There's just so much you can do alone, a partner can save lives!

Sounds good, tell it to your city council and mayor to stop cutting police budgets and maybe they can actually do that.

In Canada the RCMP is exclusively solo, even jn metro areas. Keeps costs down.

Yeah but we don't shoot constables and they don't shoot us. A traffic stop in Canada is usually a peaceful.

As a former officer...they can't even hire enough people to fill the vacancies let alone double up. Also, who's gonna pay for that?
Zitronensalat
You are in this mess, because you hate taxes and you love your guns.

I have a co-worker who wants to be cop. He worked as a volunteer police officer until he just couldnt afford it anymore. He has the >

OtherDay
And why is this not an issue in the rest of the western world? Ah yes, the guns.
CmdrZellgaudis
Studies show that when LEOs ride solo, they act less impulsively since they know that they must wait for backup, letting adrenaline abate.
iowawhiteboy
I was about to say the same thing
Stockyhome
I can't really argue with that but it's high risk work, a partner can give first aid etc. I'd hope training could help impulsivity in pairs
PiffTheMagicDildo
Not true at all. The only reason LEOs ride around solo is manning and budgets. All police departments would love two man squads.

So do we put us in harms way, or do we put cops in harms way?

There are tons of gun laws, and strict ones for that matter. I don't recall the last time I bought a gun without a background check.

Yeah I actually have. Coincidentally, the second amendment literally has the words "WE'LL REGULATED" in the text. If firearms aren't 1/2

And yet it works in pretty much every other country in the world that has implemented restrictions.

it would work better if people in Chicago couldn't just hop the boarder to Indiana and get one there. Gun laws have to be strict everywhere

We don't even have to hop the border. We can just drive 20 minutes to a suburb or wait till a gun show comes to McCormack place

False. Background checks with state issued IDs required. No FFL dealer in Indiana will sell to someone with an Illinois ID.
Rogahar
As a non-murican - what's FFL?
Mirawatts
Federal Firearms License. It's a license that is required to sell guns professionally. 99% of commercial dealers are FFL.
biolologist
I guess it's just an inconvenient fact that people other than FFL dealers can sell guns, huh?
lancelittle15
(1/2) While that is possible, it's at the risk of the seller. If the firearm is tied to a crime, they are tied to it. Most private sellers

Of course their job is dangerous, it's just not the MOST dangerous. Many jobs are much more dangerous
SocoFox
Those are dangerous because of accidents or heavy machinery, not dangerous because of malicious intent from another human.

nacko
I think it's different because in those jobs, you typically don't need to make a decision on whether or not to harm someone else.
SocoFox
Other jobs being more dangerous is irrelevant, that's why.

Didn't say it was the most dangerous. But a routine traffic stop can turn into a firefight in a split second.

I'm surprised it's so dangerous to be a pilot but not sure that I should be.

Just because being a cop is safer than other things doesn't mean it isn't a dangerous occupation. That's a fallacy of relative privation.
