    I mean the officer was clearly scared for his life. I know to you and me that seems absurd, but police officers are hand-picked and trained to be the biggest cowards imaginable. Several people are killed by babies (with guns) each year in the US and that makes them logically scarier than half the shit police officers are scared of.

    I can’t believe he even entered a home that had a known baby in it, it’s almost as scary as entering a school with an active shooter!

      I’m watching Peaky Blinders, and in one scene a lady pushes a carriage in between two rival gangs. Both back down rather than potentially killing a woman and child.

      Nice to see police practice less restraint than warring mobsters.

      When I went through MEPS, they make you piss in a cup and get a blood draw during the whole duck walk day. One guy started crying and vomited when the medic went to put a blood draw needle in.

      I bet you’ll never guess which guys in that group have Silver Stars and which one has a highway patrol cruiser with multiple complaints of excessive force.
