re: #557 Rightwingconspirator

The comparison is about the relevant laws and the appropriate training to enforce and adhere to it. The analogy stands once you accept the context.

Only if you acknowledge there’s much more at stake with a gun than a camera.

If you reject my intended context, okay, but that would be then a deliberate misunderstanding.

I’m rejecting the idea that anything having to do with guns is ‘no big deal’. If you want to call that deliberate misunderstanding, feel free

If I seem a bit put out about this, (trying not to) that would be because the lack of reciprocity puts me at higher risk to do my day to day work. Given the level of criminal threat people in my industry face, they often have a different view than what one would expect from those who face no special threat.

Which is totally understandable. But I’m asking you to extend that sympathy for cops, who also face a greater level of criminal activity.
