FYI MikeBob I was in law enforcement for over 30 years and it was people like you that I worried about more than the criminals. It's one thing to be observant and help law enforcement officials out so they can do their job better. However, taking the law into your own hands is not only stupid, but it will get you or the wrong person killed sooner or later!!!
I have alot of family in law enforcement and game wardens and every single one of them will tell you that if something happens you are on your own until they are alerted.
so you are saying if someone is in need of help by being beaten, raped, stabbed, shot, just walk right on by and call the cops because after they kill said person they can catch them and put them in prison, BUT you will be ok because you just walked right on bye. In your 30 yrs as a cop how many crimes did you stop.
1: First off I didn't say I would shoot the people, I said I would shoot the truck, come on people no one is going to shoot a person over a deer, get real.
2: cops are there after being called who is supposed to protect us during the crime. cops do not have the resources to protect the people.
3: I believe in law's and law enforcement and I do believe the officers work hard and do a very good job at what they do, but they CANNOT be there to protect you without being called. What is a person supposed to do until they arrive. Sit and watch people get killed, beaten, stabbed
4:
I prey to god if anything seriously bad is happening to my family that someone will step up and help them and not stand and watch until cops show up because they don't want to take law into their own hands.
5: If you post keep it clean, do not bring up ethics just opinions
6: Criminals know the cops will not be around until they are called so why not just go right into this house and kill everyone, because cops and government think we dont need to take "law into our own hands", because we will just call 911 and just stand there until cops show up which will give them several minutes to do what they will. Plus neighbors cant do anything either because that would be taking law into their own hands.
7: How many crimes would be committed if the criminal new every single person around would get up in all his sh** until he was stopped.
8: There was a man with 2 kids walking through the park after playing and came across a man getting beaten bad by 2 guys trying to rob him. The man told the kids to go tell someone to call the cops. The man then jumped in to help the guy against the other 2. Which he was not doing all that great because they were way bigger than him, but the 2 guys all the sudden took off because the guy was getting help. The cops ask the man why would you do such a thing, the man said he needed help, and if I just walk on by what would that be telling my kids, that it was ok to hurt people. I was 12 when that happened
9: Criminals will always have their way in this world as long as people pass it off to police and government, because its not the police and governments world, it is ours.
11: Have you ever watched the show " what would you do". would you be one that walks on by and not help.
12: Their is a lot of interesting opinions in here I must say I agree with some, not with others, but good all the same.
13: Topgun I thank you for your carrier in law enforcement as well as all that serve in the military.
