From what I understand, the criminal
had an extensive record, and IMO should
have been incarcerated or put to death.
I'm also understanding that some of the
criminal's enabling and excuse making
relatives opened fire on the officers
adding to the carnage.
I've already heard disparaging remarks
about the officers and police in general
today. The most eye opening was one
who said (not verbatim) yeah, I'm gonna
defend my relatives against anybody
who tries to do any wrong to them,
regardless if it's cops or not. I'd have
killed em all too.
People have gone nuts in 2024
The reality sad part besides the death
and destruction is that there are those
who have been trying to warn of the
decline of the nation's moral compass
for years, and got called everything in
the book. Survivalists, racists, nazis,
psychopaths, brown haters, etc. etc. etc.
A large round of "I TOLD YA SO" would
be in order, but I don't know anybody
that would, and it would certainly be
without any joy
