In a "required-to-open-carry" State, things would be different.

It might be disastrous for a State to implement Open-Carry-Required on the spot, without any movement to get the people used to the idea, and that isn't the way it should be done. Neither is it the way that I am talking about.

Open carry in the past was a bit of a hassle. Even though it would be easier now, with all the modifications to holsters and such, who wants to open carry all the time in public. Nobody. It is a nuisance to have that thing hanging there. We have enough trouble carrying groceries to the car.

If the people of a State were used to the idea, training would be in place about how and when to use guns. We wouldn't need cops. There wouldn't be as many school shootings, because anyone using a gun in an armed school would be dead before he knew it. Everyone would know how to handle kids with toy guns; there might be toy gun areas. A real shooter in a toy gun area would be dead because folks would know how to handle such situations.

Once the bad guys are dead, only friendly, respectful people are left.

Implement this in your State, and you won't need a National Guard or police.

EDIT: Cops are simply trained and armed people. Train and arm everybody, and you won't need cops.

We are not alone:

According to longstanding precedent, the police have no duty to protect anyone, and all lawsuits against them alleging same are tossed. Police however swear an oath to not do exactly what they do, and are effectively immune from any real consequences for breaking it. I wanted to be a cop before I learned about the dark side of the blue line.
Against them personally, yes lawsuits will be tossed. However The police department and the city/multiplicity they work for is a different story as the victim can claim that their procedures caused them to be put in harms way

Against _any_ entity, tossed. There is no officer named District of Columbia.

Vanitygen has split key generation built in and has for years.

I consider this discussion a huge red-flag.  You should never let a third party generate private keys for you.

You should not be charging anyone for any length before you switch entirely to split key, or giving anyone vanity addresses you have the full private keys to without a massive warning that no BTC should ever be sent to those addresses.

The people that work for "bad wages" instead of negotiating for "good wages" are knowingly screwing themselves.

That's true but since people get so desperate for work they take the offer immediately.

Desperate for work or income? Those are not the same thing.

That video is still a blurry piece of shit and damn near worthless as evidence.

The video is simple support. What was done by the cops should never have been done that way.

Smiley

It's so blurry anyone can dishonestly use it to "support" just about anything they say. I would rule it inadmissible as evidence as a judge, or nullify a fellow juror lying that it was crystal clear to them and all the evidence they needed to see. No sound, no other angle showing where the car came from, I can't see anybody's guns at all, can't make out faces, only bodies, can barely just infer that it was a police car (from the blurry appearance of a push bumper, low-profile LED lightbar, and what looks like a contrasting color stripe on the left side of the car that is wider than I would expect trim to be, so possibly "City of X Police" lettering).

What instructions? Where is the clear recording that evidences instructions were given?

They had the chance to park outside the average accurate range of a pistol and use their PA system while the cover officer pulled the rifle or shotgun out of the center console most marked vehicles seem to have. People in vehicles rarely get life-threatening GSWs from those outside them. If they drove right up to the suspect to expose themselves to hostile fire, they are Darwin Award stupid and it's just a matter of time before a real criminal shoves their suicidal "tactics" up their ass.

This seems like one of too many idiotic OIS where suicidal cops roll right up on the perp and exit the much higher safety of their vehicle to leave no choice but to have to open fire.

Where is the evidence the cops decided to execute the kid on sight, with no verbal warnings or commands given?

How brave of you to second-guess emergency responders from the comfort of your armchair or yoga ball.

Why don't you join the force and show those dumb cops the proper way to deal with a 911 call about an armed dude terrorizing the local park with a gun?

Is it because you can't pass the physical?  No doubt.

But it's also because you would rather shift blame from the individual who created the situation to those society assigns the thankless task of dealing with it.
Where they park their car does not matter, unless they are dealing with an active shooter, they are not going to be taking cover, plus a SWAT team would likely be involved.

Active shooter tactics have changed. The first responding officers rush in and stop the bastard as soon as they find him, they don't wait for SWAT, they don't "take cover". They were smart enough to change that tactic, but we are led to believe that either 1) cops are such dumbfucks that they apply their active shooter tactics to MWAG calls when they were trained to use OTHER tactics for MWAG calls or 2) cops' training for MWAG calls is suicidal and utterly devoid of common sense, but they are Pope-level infallible now, so we should never expect them to be retrained for a commonsense, non-suicidal tactic in any future situation - the active shooter tactics were the end of all evolution in LE training.

For the morons, morons everywhere: Parking your car a safe distance away so you can give PA commands and shoot from a supported position with a vastly more accurate gun, is good tactics. Suicidally putting yourself in a situation where you're forced to mag dump with a shit accuracy gun and STILL get shot or stabbed instantly, or "take cover", and/or God forbid get disarmed by the perp and they use everything you brought to the scene for innocent bloodshed, is bad tactics.

The fact is that the kid was acting like a thug and was treated like one. When he showed the gun to the police he did so in a threatening way.

That video is still a blurry piece of shit and damn near worthless as evidence.
