Only if the bad guys KNOW that people in crowd WILL shot back. Even better would be if the media and police and DC made heroes out those that fought back
You think the guys shooting police didn't think the police would shoot back?
What kind of stupid question is that? No Shit Sherlock. Yep the police are known to shoot back. But police are in nice easy to see uniforms while the people with the CCW and permission to open fire are NOT.
Would YOU shoot at cops if you knew a thousand people NOT in uniform ARE GOING to shoot back?
I wouldn't shoot at cops whether I had a good chance of surviving or not. These guys would. I think they probably knew they weren't going to get away with it, but did it for The CauseTM.
You know, that thing between your ears? It is not there just to hold your ear apart and to keep you eyes from rolling down to your toes. USE it once in a while.
Wow, that's inappropriate!
Then make the cost of "The cause" too freaking high.
Here is what I don't understand. the FBI UCR has two glaring facts that the media avoid reporting. A cop kills a Black, on average, once in 28 HOURS. But Blacks kill other Blacks on average of one every 65 minutes.
Black lives matter ONLY and IF it is NOT a Black person doing the killing. Where is the demand for the heads of Black gang leaders? Where are the witnesses when the gangs committee murder?
IF the Black community would be as active with videos etc with Black on Black crimes as they are with cops. Cities would be safe 24/7.
Ummm... black, white, latino, asian, ect... gang leaders are already wanted and will be arrested for their crimes if caught. Also, gang motivated, race isn't relevant.
Cops... less so. Also, its usually gang on gang violence. Why is that equal to cop on innocent civillian violence?
Also, this whole issue is saying "If you are a legal gun owner, cops will shoot you for no reason.". You want that?
