Hi Rel!
I could be here all afternoon typing about how that picture is actually demonstrating two officers losing tactical control of an engagement, and are neutering themselves of the primary mechanical advantage a firearm presents in that situation.
If I was the cop, my thumb would not be fumbling around on a magazine latch, but would be stuck as far as physically possible inside the ocular socket, soft nasal tissues, larynx, or any of the other 'last ditch', absolutely are going to cause grievous bodily harm, techniques that are generally frowned upon. And if that incident turned into a Ferguson and I ended up a juror, I'd still come down on the side of the cop!
Anyone wanna go back to my points earlier about nod nod, wink wink... You know, the goodies cops get in their personal lives (assuming they are gunnies), by virtue of the roster? The cops hear *really* believe the roster did what was (laughably) promoted? Let's call a spade a spade. Modern politics revolves around the division of society into a lot of collective interest groups, then setting them up against each other, giving us the illusion of political participation. Cops are very much a special interest group, and each and every exemption received on an individual level is nothing more than your blood money in a corrupt system.
If Lady Liberty must be blinded in order for a civil society to recompense the individual for the natural rights lost in the formation of that civil society, then societal servants must *not* be privileged under the law.
So, I am perfectly happy with no more exemptions for LEO of any form, until I see their representative organizations get out of 2nd amendment politics.
