Removing the right of self defense for police is just plain ridiculous.
Simply not true.
Yes, it is.
Removing it from civilians is also ridiculous.
Killing people is not a defensive act. Maternal instinct doesn't permit you to kill people. Sex doesn't permit you to kill people. Being scared shouldn't permit you to kill someone. They're all primal, but all expected to obey recognition of the rights of others. Killing someone doesn't recognize their rights. It violates their rights. Your right to be scared shouldn't supersede the enumerated rights of others to due process.Of course it's selfish. Let's face it, you have a very abnormal usage of words. You have improperly defined 'defense' here in this thread.
You would choose to take a life-SAVING measure from other people. Of course it's necessary for individuals that are threatened by someone attacking them. To deny that shows a very poor grasp of reality. That you dont like it...we get. As I said, we are grateful that the great majority of Americans and our law makers recognized the right to self-defense, up to and including lethal force.
And of course it 'feels better' to be alive rather than dead. You avoided answering my question regarding using such lethal force to save your daughter from rape. I guess the one that would 'feel better' in that example is the rapist.
And I see nothing wrong with primal. Sex is primal. It can also be misused and cause harm. But for the great majority of people, it's very enjoyable. Lots of ****ed up repressed people tried to suppress that for hundreds of years. But it's a basic right also and that certainly didnt work out for them.
Ooo...speaking of primal...maternal instinct! One of the strongest intincts on the planet. And when necessary, that incredibly primal instinct leads mothers to kill to defend their young. Including humans. Go moms go!
You're accusing me of "fantasy" while you write melodramatic encounters.^^This was your answer to this:
So, how about an honest answer?
