That may be true but police are rarely if ever attacked, screamed at, spit on, had garbage thrown on them, assaulted, had whistles blown in their faces, had their arrests interfered with for weeks on end, and had their off-duty locations (homes/hotels) attacked.
Apples and oranges.
Same is true for ICE agents.
Standard procedure.
As I described in my earlier post, the shooting has a lot of questions/flaws surrounding it. What appears to have happened is that when the ICE agents began wrestling with Pretti, they noticed the gun and gave the universal warning cops issue, yelling, "GUN!" The ICE agent disarms Pretti but the wrestling continues. It certainly appears that the ICE agent who disarmed Pretti discharged the weapon accidentally. That gunshot, after the warning "GUN!" very likely caused the officers to shoot Pretti, the one they believed still had the gun.
The rule is that if an officer has reasonable cause to believe he is in danger of serious harm, he can shoot the suspect. That applies here. I think it terrible that the guy died, and that Good died, but the simple fact remains that citizens cannot simply insert themselves into a police procedure and think they are protected. They aren't. It is absolutely illegal to resist arrest or interfere with an arrest, for any reason, for no reason, for a great reason, doesn't matter. Take it up with the judge.
The basis for such laws banning resisting arrest or interfering with an arrest - every state and the Fed government have them - is to avoid what we are seeing in Minnesota with the chaos, wrestling on the ground, injuries, and death. Those are the natural consequences of resisting arrest or interfering with an arrest.
And to any imbecile who says, "Hey, the cops can't do that to a woman!" I respond - you are a ******* moron. Almost every person involved in a tussle with the cops winds up reaching for the officer's weapon. As I posted a long time ago, I used to represent cops injured on the job. I would look over their employment files and injury history and was stunned at how often cops have to wrestle with suspects and the frequency of hand injuries.
I asked one client, "Why so many hand injuries?" He explained that suspects who resist almost always reach for the cop's gun, and the cop is trying to get the cuffs on the bad guy, with just the dominant hand protecting the weapon, so the cop's thumb and fingers are yanked, pried, pulled and hurt. He showed me his right hand and the knuckle on his thumb was noticeably bigger than the normal size due to a prior partial dislocation.
Guess what? Women suspects also reach for the cop's gun. **** around and you are dead. So again, any imbecile who says that the cops should treat women suspects differently are morons.
Oh, and what do those morons say about a 230 lb. cop shooting 115 lb. Ashli Babbit when she was NOT touching a cop at the time, let alone wrestling with a cop??? Yeah, thought so.
