If the man was running away then he is not a threat to the officers. If they take the job as a police they are swearing an oath and are voluntarily putting their lives on the line. The question then becomes if they really are serving and protecting the public and enforcing the law, or if they are really race soldiers enforcing white supremacy under the color of law.
One might conclude, in allot of cases that, it's the latter when they see that there is a double standard when it comes to how white people are treated. For example, a white person points a loaded gun at the police in a stand-off and does get shot, like Cliven Bundy, who was also acquitted later by an all white jury. Guys who are mass shooters like Dillon Roof, or the recent one in Buffalo, don't end up getting shot, despite the fact they have a gun and killed allot of people. Or, lets look at the January 6, 2020 insurrection. Would you say that crowd loved the police? Were they the blue lives matter crowd? Folks you are being gaslighted by the police and by the narrative that they and right-win
That's why anyone arguing for the police can only be taken with a grain of salt. When it benefits them and they are the recipients of a power advantage than its easy to stick up for the police. However, when it does not benefit them then they attack the police just like anyone else who they claim are anti-police or anti-white, etc.... Did you notice how the white insurrectionists got very light sentences for taking over the White House? It becomes a selfish argument rather than one based on principle.
Ask yourself this...would you still stand up for the police if a white person or someone you knew was shot by a Black, Muslim or other diversity hire working as the police? Or would your support for the police end there? Where was the blue lives matter crowd for Mohammad Noor or Derrick Strafford? These are cops who where thrown under the bus, who were legitimate worried about their lives but shot ONE fatal shot at a white person. Do you notice when it's a black cop they end up going to jail for 40 years? He did not shoot 10 or 60 shots and aim to kill like the suspect was an animal...no, it's just one unfortunate accidental shot that he had to make to do his duty and they get thrown under the bus and under the jail. Where is the blue lives matter crowd for him?
