Feel free to reply to any comment by clicking the "Reply" button.The police officers really have a dangerous shit job these days. Whenever they get called out for a disturbance,they could pretty much so plan that at least somebody in this argument / disturbances are going to be packing. This, in my opinion,leads to officers to be Trigger Happy. When it comes to guns the person that shoots first wins. Violence is a vicious cycle
