We give them so much power, they shouldn't get off light if they abuse it because "Their job is hard". Yes, their job is hard. They routinely have to deal with assholes, many of which are fine with killing them. But that shouldn't meant they get to kill innocent people(Or at least people who didn't deserve to be killed) for free. To be fair, "Not killing innocent people" isn't really a higher standard, it should just be A standard, period. That's a slightly different argument. When I say it's tough to hold cops to the same standard as everyday people, I mean that... A cop reacting to somebody with a gun and one of us reacting to somebody with a gun shouldn't be held to the same standards. We aren't trained to deal with situations like that. We could just make it worse. Joe Schmoe pulling a gun on a violent individual is different than a cop pulling his gun on a violent individual, and should be treated differently. Normal people often don't need to be there escalating the situation. Cops do have to be there. --- Seplito Nash, Smelling Like the Vault since 1996 Step FOUR!
