No innocent person should be hassled in any way by the Police whose job is to nab the guilty to protect the innocent. If only 2 screwed up then get those two, but don't endanger those who broke no laws just because they were on the scene. That can never be logically justified. And if you feel that it can be justified, please allow me to apply that standard to your loved ones. Logic cuts both ways. And the founding principles of the USA were that no innocent person should come to harm by the government for any reason at anytime no matter the circumstances. If a cop stops my car and approaches me with his gun pulled to protect himself, can I pull my gun to protect me from him? Cops have murdered before so I should have every right to do that, yet it is not allowed because somehow Cops have more rights than the people they are supposed to be serving. Thar's why they've lost most of the respect and support of the communities they work in. And to see this Cop endanger the innocent for any reason proves that the problem isn't only with the people, it's with the Cops as well.
One of my favorite sayings is that someone who is evil had better not be drowning if I'm the only one around to save them, because I will ignore them and let them get what they truly deserve. Because Cops act irresponsibly in not accepting their own responsibility and in standing behind wrongful actions by their own kind, they have all joined that group as far as I'm concerned..There's the "group is guilty" logic turned around. Just remember who caused that because they are the only ones who can fix it without violence.
One standard for all, no exceptions, and no excuses accepted. And no reason for it to be any other way
