"What is your opinion on the police?"
The reason I ask is because there have been a lot of shootings, involving both the cops killing and being killed, and it seems that they are being underappreciated.
My personal opinion is that they are here for our personal protection. If someone is shot by a cop, the majority of the time it is because they're deemed a a danger to those around and refuse to obey police instructions. Sometimes the shot kills the person, which while a sad misfortune, I cannot hold a cop liable for. They are humans just like us and get scared for their personal safety as well. The first disabling shot that comes to mind is to the chest or stomach because it's a bigger target than the arm or hand or leg. It's unfortunately also the instinctive place to shoot for some reason. While there are always some bad apples in the basket, I believe most cops are not the bad guys, and should not be targeted for retaliation for killing someone they deemed dangerous.
If this offends anyone, I apologize sincerely and will remove this immediately if requested to do so. I just feel like this is a big issue not just in the U.S., but worldwide, and needs to be talked about.
My 'opinion' on your police is that they are over aggressive, poorly educated, no respect for the people they serve and overall dangerous them selfs (the % that i see on tv and reports). One such case was 2-3 years ago when this guy had a chainsaw and someone was cutting down trees on his own property and had ear muffs on. It was said police was telling him to put it down while nobody was around and he couldn't hear them and when he turned around and walked to them, he was shot. The police was in no danger and well. Then theres all these swatting of youtubers and twitch streamers, to which one time they broke all the windows in a house, threw tear gas in and then proceed to cause $100000 more damage to the house because a 12 year old rang them and said he was keeping someone hostage. But ya, most are not like this i would imagine but still i would only hear about the fuck ups and cant see the average cop in the U.S.
