re: #31 albusteve

good…shooting a gun at the cops is forbidden here in ABQ…they hate that…couple of years ago, some guy took the cops on a high speed chase, crashed, got out of his car waving a gun and was shot 17 times by two cops…DOA and nobody thought much of it

It depends on the context. The police here have absolutely no hesitation to respond with deadly force when fired upon. But they’ve had enough experience with these kinds of riots to know when to stand on the sidelines/take cover and when to start shooting back.
