    It’s like accepting of the fact that your police is incompetent. They either shoot everyone or let someone else shoot everyone. That’s not doing their job as police.

      It’s a common way people try to justify their actions. As if police are a force of nature. You wouldn’t stand in the path of a tornado, why would you expect police to act on more than the most superficial analysis of the situation and with less than the most violence they can justify.
