I don’t even understand what people think. Do you seriously think that thr cops there were in on it like a big conspiracy? Do you think the cops knew that the soccer moms could take out the mad man with armor destroying bullets, and they just wanted to save the madman from them?? Just think about it like a strategic video game, what do you genuinely think is the best way to deal with such a situation?
Look, I get it, cops generally suck. So many of them do. This isn’t about that. Think about this situation objectively as a little mental exercise. The world is not so black and white all the time.
