Stopped by a cop for...criminal behavior?
I didn't say anything about criminal behavior.. Not sure why you keep injecting that into the predicate of what I said.
How many people are being shot after being stopped for jaywalking or speeding?
Is this a question you want answered?
You mean to tell me it's usually because they're actually doing something bad?
And, again, since you don't really have that data, and since you go on to say:
Why insert it into the argument? Seems rhetorical.. As if you're saying, they got what was coming to them...Not that it warrants being shot, of course.
If that's not what you're saying, my bad, but again - if it didn't warrant getting shot, then why bring up what they were doing, regardless?
Anyways, my original comment was just because I remembered you telling me cops don't really risk their lives much
That's not what I said.
and the job isn't all that dangerous.
That's not what I said either.
You compared being a cop to being a soldier. That was a ridiculous comparison and still is.
It was a conversation wherein you were attempting to justify the median wage of police officers in the United States by saying it was a dangerous job. I obviously disagreed.
I saw an opening and I took it, I admit it.
...I think you misunderstand my positions.
Tragic story though.
Indeed.
