Dealing with a country full of gun nuts and general loons can't be much fun.
When talking about the police, it's important to remember they are employed to uphold the law.
Which is why an incident like George Floyd, murdered by a copper for no reason, will always gain more publicity than an officer murdered by a suspect/civilian for no reason, like in the above example.
I think that's applicable for most crimes as well; if a police officer and a random bloke are caught stealing, who will get the limelight and attention?
Rightly or wrongly I think their choice of career holds them to higher account and focus when things go wrong and they end up on the wrong side of the law.
I was gonna write a bunch of other stuff but it's kinda futile, and I hope the slain officers family can come to terms with such a senseless tragedy.
Just as I'm typing I see the story about the 20 year old black man in America killed by a cop mistaking their handgun for the taser during a traffic stop.
An unenviable role.
Although as everyone knows this, you wonder why people still persist.
But should they?
Resisting arrest isn't a death sentence, so your chances of death shouldn't ''dramatically increase'' if you don't comply.
Particularly in scenarios where the threat is limited, like George Floyd, or when the suspect is wanted for something relatively minor, also like George Floyd.
Sometimes people die at the hands of the police even when they are complying.
Policing in America is such a complex, multi-layered issue, and I'm glad we don't face a lot of that complexity here in the UK.
Yes, in a perfect world people would just comply, never resist arrest etc but this ain't a perfect world and people don't act perfectly.
But the options really shouldn't be 'comply or get shot', that has to be wrong and a situation with many shades of grey should never be so black and white.
Surely the way forward is for the police to stop shooting or choking people during routine stops.
I'm sure when Derek Chauvin woke up on the morning of 25th May, he had no intention of ending the day facing potential murder charges.
But that's exactly what happened, when he decided to use his knee to subdue, restrain and ultimately choke to death a man stopped for a potentially dodgy $20 bill.
There is absolutely nothing that George Floyd did on May 25th to justify or excuse his death.
The mere suggestion that had he complied then he'd still be alive is beyond contempt.
Just because an officer doesn't start their shift wanting to shoot or harm someone, it doesn't absolve them of their responsibility should a straightforward stop or situation escalate to something more sinister, like the events on May 25th and countless other occasions.
There are of course situations where it will be 'comply or die', but that should the exception not the rule.
Trigger happy cops attempting to police a trigger happy nation.....an unenviable role.
I also think you could debate this topic forever, and not get anywhere.
The officer that killed George Floyd was evil.
What about his fellow officers that just stood by, and watched?
There are too many examples to explore.
People have been shot dead while running away, and posing no threat.
Too many of the examples seem to include white officers shooting black people.
Having said all that, I am sure that the overwhelming majority of officers are reasonable people, who try their best, and do an impossible job to the best of their ability.
15 Most Controversial Police Shootings In The US
Unfortunately, these officers' poor judgment calls led to harm against innocents, excessive force, and even death - plus outrage across the nation.

Should've just complied right?
Oh wait....
There's video footage on Youtube, it's grim so I'm reluctant to link it but you can find it easy enough.
Within it you'll see some footage from the police car that stopped them, and also some footage of the immediate aftermath taken within the car by his partner.
You'll see the driver bleeding to death as the copper continues to point his gun at him through the window whilst yelling ''don't move''.
What movement he was expecting from someone just shot 5 times, including twice through the heart, I'm not so sure?
Zero attempt from the officer to even try and save his life, as futile as it likely would've been.
Consider the following....
If a man was about to shoot the police, would he likely inform the officer that he does indeed have a gun? Surely that's amongst the last things you'd say if you were planning an ambush.
Is a man travelling in a car, with his partner and small child in the back seat, and pulled over for the fairly trivial matter of a broken brake light, a likely candidate for wanting to murder police officers?
You ''assume that most people would react in the same manner'', and this is exactly the problem.
A routine traffic stop turns into a bloodbath due to a trigger happy officer.
Rinse and repeat.
Watch the footage and tell me you still stand by your comments above.
Racist military idiot acting like a racist military idiot shocker. I've read he's now been arrested. What a scumbag.
Have you watched the footage?
I'll try and find the Youtube stuff.
