Reply #7: Tragedy, or just another public health statistic?

[izquierdista]

So where are all the cop defenders?? Her back must have really presented quite a threat for a "trained law enforcement officer" to have to use deadly force.

All the smoke coming out of the ears and the sputtering denials of gun worshipers won't subtract this statistic from the data that guns in the home lead to a higher probability of death by gun violence.

All the fuming denials and disavowals of the cop fellators won't subtract this statistic from the data that a percentage of cops are unfit for their jobs for being violently psychotic (and in this case, suicidal too).

Sugarman's analysis is spot on. They do lack an ability to think in the abstract, or at least to understand public health statistics and their import. They like things that go boom, the power of putting holes in things from several yards away, being badasses who can 'defend' themselves. They don't want to acknowledge the obvious, such as "you can't protect yourself if your back is turned and you're unarmed". They can't think in the abstract, or they would have realized that they have rewritten the second amendment, until it now means "A well regulated militia continuous flow of tragedy being necessary to the security for the entertainment of a free State, the right of the People mentally ill to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed."
