I honestly cannot understand, how you've got that from my post. Did you read it?
and I agree that when one signs on to be a cop, they should be fully aware of the risk involved, of the chance that a random scumbag can steal their sidearm and use it in them.
shouldnt a criminal, upon venturing down the path of a career as a criminal, also be aware of the risks involved? that if you do what the shooter in the vid did, you will catch a major beat down?
Originally posted by dadudemonhard to say what you would do in that type of situation. It's one of those things that has to actually happen to you for you to know what you would do.
If I was a police officer that witnessed my coworker/friend blown away...I would be extremely pissed. However, I wouldn't beat the utter living shit out of him. I would definitely tackle him as roughly as possible and be as rough as I reasonably could while cuffing him...but that is just me.

Along the same thought process...
"Some things are worth the flag." meaning that sometimes committing the foul is worth it.
If you knew that your job would be in jeopardy, would you beat the shit out of someone who just killed your friend? I think most men would. But when you throw into the mixture that you are a police officer, it should be a harder decision to make. (Whether or not to beat the shit out of the dude that just killed one of your mates.)

No, that's not what I said. I said there's no point, because I'm not and never will be a police officer.
So, we should all be safe in the knowledge, that if we are to do something wrong, we're going to get battered by the law? The police shouldn't ever let personal feelings, or situations effect the objective treatment they should be giving criminals, suspects and the like. Do you not see why that's important?

I agree whole heartedly with that statement but we all know that will never happen when a human is a police officer.

absolutely they are. though their acts of vengeance would be understandable, they cannot be condoned. thats the price an officer pays to gain such power. they know this full well before day 1 at the academy.
(waits to see how RJ will reinterpret and slander from the above statement)

Well, there's that huge issue of innocent until proven guilty for a start.
Then of course, there's the fact that it's against the law to beat people up.
Criminals go to prison, after being tried by a court, your proposition would entail the law resorting to illegality.
