What the hell is that supposed to mean? Look, do I support Law Enforcement? Yes. Does that mean that I give them a free pass? No...So I don't know why you feel the need to attack me.
Who said she had to go up to one of the cops there? That may have been one way, but if she felt uncomfortable, then she could go down to the police station, and file a complaint, and to the courthouse and file charges....
And think about for a second what you are saying, she was bold enough to insert herself close enough to an ongoing police operation that involved danger, but the poor wilting flower is too meek to go file charges....pfft, not buying it.
No quarrel with that statement, but you and I are not the judge.
Really? So tell me, if no charges were filed, who is going to be prosecuted?
Nope, sorry but you're wrong about that.
Now, you are conflating what the SCOTUS was ruling on...It is true that the police are not a "pro active" agency. IOW, they are not there to predict, and conversely prevent crime from happening. That would be impossible. But, if you have an ongoing operation by police, then at that point they ARE tasked with public safety...Why do you think they block off things like hostage situations?
