Entry: Good Cops Link: http://www.takimag.com/blogs/article/good_cops#24667 Post contents: I don't believe anyone here is worshipping these cops. I agree that we should always question authority, but that is not a blank cheque as many try to make it out to be. We need lessons on morality from immoral drug dealers as much as we need them from those who hate all authority arbitrarily. These cops were in a fight for their lives with the lowest of low. Instead we label them incompetent or cowards, yet it's us sitting on a computer making these judgements on those who put themselves in harms way. If 50 shots needed to be fired so be it. That sounds a little excessive to me as well, but I am here behind a computer, and they were dealing with thugs trying to kill them with a 5000 lb vehicle. I personally chose to give them the benefit of doubt instead of the parasites who take advantage of everyone that they possibly can exploit. Anyone with a conscience does regret taking life I'm sure of that, and I'm sure these police officers feel the weight of their decision. I am also sure that what is getting them through this is the knowledge that they reacted and took life when they were given no other choice. Sent at: 2008 08 30
