    Yes. That is exactly what they will do.

    Cops are not military. They are poorly trained panic strike thugs and children.

      Then the people have a reason to shoot back at the cops.

      In that sense we have seen plenty examples where cops in the US immediately withdrew or refused to engage when there is a possibility of someone shooting back at them.

        I don’t think you understand the gravity if being attacked with a weapon by someone who really wants to permanently end another. it is terrifying, and life altering. this is not a movie, this is not something that will only affect other people

        this is real life and you’re acting a if it’s a freaking movie

        I know it will probably end up in something along those lines, but don’t be so glib about it
