When are armed police officers not allowed to use deadly force when necessary?

It should be said that “news” sites like this are a common right-wing grift: sell a story in the headline that that angry reactionaries will click on to get that hit of indignant rage.

If you think about the stories for five seconds, they fall apart; but clickfarms like the one in the link know that conservatives will spread incendiary headlines like this without even a shred of skepticism.

Their business model depends on it, and they’re eating very well.

Pretty much all the time. It might be a slap on the wrist or something when they kill someone, but giving the ahead to kill people isnt common.

The key word is when necessary.

Police are always, always, just like any citizen, authorized to use deadly force… When necessary.

When it becomes necessary, it falls into the realm of self-defense.

“Please don’t be too nice,” he said to the audience in Long Island, New York.

“When you see these thugs being thrown into the back of a paddy wagon, you just seen them thrown in, rough. I said, ‘Please don’t be too nice,’” he said.

Donald Trump to Police

“When you guys put somebody in the car and you’re protecting their head you know, the way you put their hand over [their head],” Trump continued, mimicking the motion. "Like, ‘Don’t hit their head and they’ve just killed somebody, don’t hit their head.’ I said, ‘You can take the hand away, OK?’

“I have to tell you, you know, the laws are so horrendously stacked against us, because for years and years, they’ve been made to protect the criminal. Totally made to protect the criminal. Not the officers. You do something wrong, you’re in more jeopardy than they are,” he added.

But hey, those records Joe *never had the authority for× were sitting in his Vette, and that’s OK, nothing to see here folks.

Ffs the hypocrisy and lies.

Rules for thee, not for me.

So much effort to frame Trump, he scares the establishment so much. Pretty damn clear.

Steele Dossier fabricated by Hilary and friends, with clear evidence of such, since 2017. This nonsense over presidential records, which every president has done (and Joe did pre-emptively!).

The establishment (neo-cons, democrats, etc) have turned the US into a banana Republic… It’s just a matter of time now before French Revolution II occurs in the States.

“Frame Trunp” lol

It’s hard not to feel like most of his fanboys knew nothing about him before he ran for president. He’s a lifelong conman and proud of it. Did no one read his book? I did in the 90s and could tell this dude is the Steven Seagal of business.

Why defend this guy? There are plenty of conservative politicians who aren’t total pieces of shit with awful track records. It’s surreal that you elected a reality TV star to the highest office in the country and now you want to do it again.

@glimse @BearOfaTime Let’s not pretend that the #MSM would villainize any conservative republican who won the #GOP nomination. If #MarcoRubio, #RandPaul, #BenCarson, heck anyone other than #JohnKasich or #JebBush would have won, you’d be saying the exact same thing today about that person.

Not to say that #Trump is 100% innocent BTW, if #JoeBiden should be prosecuted for illegally having classified documents, so should #Trump. It goes both ways.

First off, what’s up with all the hashtags? Your comment looks ridiculous and it’s harder to read with links every other word.

Second, MSM would not be villainizing other candidates to this degree because Trump IS a villain. He’s the poster child for scummy businessmen…a caricature, really. I would not be saying the same things because I’ve been well aware of what a selfish asshole Trump is for 20 years…and he’s only gotten worse. Did you even read Art of the Deal? He’s an embarrassment to the country beyond his status as a disgraced politician.

You’re also forgetting that Biden handed those documents over willingly and without delay whereas Trump claimed he didn’t have them and then, when pressured, admitted he did have them but claimed he was allowed to. This isn’t even getting into the likelyhood that he was selling said documents to foreign actors. Now there’s mounting evidence that he tried to cover it all up. That’s your man? That’s who you think should run the country?

Yeah if you want to get into the detail the circumstances were completely different, but I’m not interested in defending Joe’s actions. I’m simply stating they weren’t as shitty as Trump’s.

At the very least Biden owned up to what he had, complied with the investigations and didn’t whine about it publicly when they were discovered. Also in the case of most of them, they notified the government they were discovered. With Trump, the FBI had to raid his ass to get them back. That’s why Trump’s actions are being treated as a crime. 🤣

🎵One of these things is not like the other…🎵

It’s actually amazing how you people will hear something and immediately steal it so you play the victim card all while screeching about how unfairly you’re being treated while simultaneously being given extra special treatment as to avoid any drama coming from you neanderthals.
