Policing Is Hard Work

Lots of police-bashing these days. And I agree that reforms are necessary to expunge systemic racism. But also consider why this issue is much more complicated than it seems. Try to appreciate the challenges of policing drunk, crazy, and criminal people. This video shows the challenges: two cops armed with a taser are still not able to successfully arrest 1 guy. In my mind, if you resist arrest, steal a cop's taser, run away, and then fire his taser at him. Yeah... you should expect to be shot.
