Re: Police in this country have the de facto right to summarily execute innocents
Well, you see, it happens. There is no perfect system. I'd say that 99.9% of the time that an unarmed person gets shot by a cop the person was doing something really stupid that got the cop on edge. They are put in situations where they are fearful of their life, all the time (in cities). My buddy is a Baltimore cop and he was chasing a guy who had a bag. The guy couldn't get away and reached into his bag. My buddy shot him and now that guy resides in Mother Earth. What did the guy have in the bag? An AK-47. The guy was 15 feet away. If he had turned and gotten any shots off that hit him he would have been dead or maimed. The vest would have done jack. You simply can't take the chance that the dude is reaching into the bag because he it going to pull out a teddy bear.
