“Why do officers use force during traffic stops?! He just had a warrant and was resisting arrest”

BURLESON, Texas (AP) — Authorities say a Texas police officer was shot multiple times during a traffic stop and police are searching for suspects. The shooting happened at about 4:15 a.m. Wednesday in Burleson, about 45 miles southwest of Dallas. Police say the officer was taken to a Fort Worth hospital and his condition wasn’t immediately known. The shooting is at least the fourth involving a Texas law enforcement officer in recent weeks, including last month’s fatal shooting of a Texas state trooper during a traffic stop near Mexia, about 75 miles southeast of Dallas.

Officers have so far been able to describe the suspects as one white woman and two white men. No further details were immediately available.

The majority of the country will not see this story and the rest will forget it in less than a week.

That dumbass mayor in Minnesota just said cops shouldn't have guns at some traffic stops.

I mean...thats not the best argument.

The Patriot Act is a one of the biggest attacks on personal and civil liberties our government has ever perpetuated against its citizens....but like....we know "why" they did it.

A cop being aggressive or over-forceful against a citizen isnt justified simply because he's on edge (reasonably or not) about his dangerous job. Its not a free pass for the cop.

Each situation should be policed specifically based on the aspects of the situation present.
