It will continue.

Confrontations between police and suspects will continue. 

That is a given because police have the duty to arrest persons they feel are breaking the law and those persons don't want to be arrested. So get used to it.

I don't condone police brutality in any way and I have spoken out about it right here but what's been alluded to this year has been wrong as has most that have happened recently.

The woman who was shot in her apartment due to a "no knock" warrant was wrong, although I understand that the male person they were seeking opened fire on them first, that's just what I heard, which puts another light on it.. The man shot and killed in Atlanta was wrong but was brought on by him "resisting arrest" although the officer didn't have to shoot him, in my opinion.

Which brings me to this. The Atlanta shooting, the shooting in Minneapolis, the most recent in Milwaukie are all a signs of lack of respect for the law. I've stated here in earlier posts about the amount of force that an officer can use to effect an arrest and is a necessary tool or their wood be many suspects resisting and doing real damage to officers and the public.

Most people who have comments about this situation have never had to face someone that was bigger and stronger than they are and likely on some drug, mad and ready to fight, and have to force them to do anything. Yet they already know what is right or wrong about a situation before they know all of the facts.

In all of my posts I have waited until I had adequate information to form "my opinion" of what happened and based on my knowledge could see where the officer was right or wrong. There has been a couple of times the officer appeared to use excessive force but 99% of the time the officer was within his lawful rights to do what he did. As stated above, some times the officer could have over stepped the need for as much force as he used but I myself understand why he did.

Keep in mind that all of the officers in law enforcement are just like you or I, they have just decided to go out everyday and protect you from the criminals that would hurt or kill you if they were given the chance.

The people in law enforcement are just human beings and as such are fallible and under pressure of violence, could make a bad judgement call in the split second they have to evaluate a situation, leaving them and others at risk, and mitigating that sometimes doesn't turn out the way it was planed.

All in all, they deserve our respect not vile hatred, their lives matter too!
