Thread: Cop beaten and side arm taken.

If the cop had the gun out and the guy went to attack he could always shoot. I dont think any cop wants to kill another man but it hes outlaw and attacking...

Nah Toby, the public and media crucifies a cop over here if they shoot someone to defend themselves. You see it time and time again.

Not only would the officer have to come to grips with the fact they just killed someone, the media would drag them and their family through the news and papers, calling it "excessive force" and going on about how it wasn't necessary, basically calling for the cops head... without being there.

Screw sending our cops into some of the shit they have to deal with unarmed. It's not like the crims are unarmed.

I think as a nation we need to harden up to criminals and give some real punishment. Assault a cop in he line of duty and get 20 years,if it doesn't work as a deterent well at they would not be causing no harm to others. I glad none of my kids are policemen
