"He had a gun!"

Even supposedly gun-friendly Republicans have a large anti-gun blindspot. And it's where their idolatry comes into play: cops.

They'll frequently excuse a murder-by-cop by saying "*Well, the guy had *(or the cop imagined he had) a gun!"

That's no justification for murdering someone... unless cops would like all of us to adopt the same standard with regard to them. "I had to shoot the cop. I saw he had a gun and I feared for my life!" If it wouldn't work for you or me, it doesn't work for them.

If you're a cop and you believe that seeing a gun justifies shooting the person, you need to be locked in a padded room without access to any sharp objects. You are unfit to live among the rest of us.

Killing people for carrying a gun is extreme, unless that individual was threatening peoples lives or attacking the innocent.

Sooo, out in the country, you approach a house, nicely, in the daylight, shouting your presence. Because we all know there is a shotgun just behind that door.

And this is the way police officers should approach any house.

With all the death by police, (and doggy deaths) after a no-knock raid (often on the wrong house) i am surprised we are not seeing entire SWAT teams dying, just as a precaution.

Well, there are several no-go zones... so it may have happened and we just haven't heard about it.
