This weekend there was yet another shooting in Louisville, KY.  This time it wasn't black on black violence but a cop doing nothing but his job and defending himself.  All the local media and from what I can see on FB and other topic related pages, people are going ape shit over this cop.

This is on video.  The cop is responding to a call of a man beating a woman.  Cop pulls up along side of the street because he sees the suspect, he tries to question him to no avail, you can see the suspect walk out of view and the cop processed to follow, just then the suspect returns in view with a flag pole, advances toward the police officer and swings this pole at him.  The cop releases two rounds into the suspect and kills him.

Here's the problem, cops are not going to do their jobs if everyday they go to work they have to worry about being arrested.  Think about it, they already put their lives on the line and now they have to worry about going to jail for defending themselves.  You could not pay me to be a cop right now, and where's why.

I have heard or read things like, "well all flags poles are plastic, he didn't need to shoot him".  "You don't bring a gun to a pole fight".  "He should have escalated his response".  "He could have mace and tazzed him before he shot".  And that's just a few of the bullshit I've heard about this and it's just this one account!!!!  I mean it's like nobody cares about this poor cop.  Or, the city for that matter.  What's it cost to put this guy on paid admin leave until this gets settled?  And this cop has to live with the fact that he ended someone life for the rest of his, he'll never be the same.

I haven't even mention Darren Wilson who doesn't have a career anymore.  I haven't mention the six in Baltimore.  I haven't mention the cops from NYC.  This is all very recent.  WTF are you people going to do when the shit hits the fan?  Because when it does, it's going to be Cops and Soldiers that save your ass.

Think About That!!!
