minus-squareFlying Squid@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up10·8 months ago Remember: each and every blow the kid lands with that weapon has the possibility of permanently maiming, disfiguring, or killing the officer. That’s the risk of being in a job that isn’t even in the top 20 most dangerous jobs in America. As you were told elsewhere, soldiers in war zones wouldn’t act this way and their job is far more dangerous. You’re just encouraging police cowardice. Not that it needs to be encouraged.
