        First rule of gun safety “only point your weapon at something you are ready to destroy.” If an cop points their weapon at someone it should be treated like they took the shot.

          One is intended as a people killing device. The other is a gun.

            Guns are made to kill, aint the basic rule is if you are pulling it, you gonna be willing to kill the victim?

            Why does police follow different rules? Why are they always pulling guns on people, many times unwarranted such as here?

          If pigs point guns, then that means they will kill the victim…

          Please let us know if we have arrived mentally as society to permit pigs to kill kids and preggers women?

          Do you think the swine feared for their useless lives here also? 8yo kid got them quacking in their boots? Clear and present danger?

          Can’t count on the occuption force to tell difference?

          Pretty sure US bootkickers had more decorum during Iraq and Afghanistan occupation, we can’t expect any of that from “protect & serve” … daddies’ property.
