WHAT I THINK ABOUT THE STUPID STUFF GOING ON IN THE WORLD
Wow! Another man was shot by Washington State police officers today. This is crazy. There have been something like three or four killings by police officers this past week in Washington and none of the people had a gun. It is amazing to me that cops are killing people like this. They are acting as judge and jury for people. Now don’t get me wrong - I love cops. I love them because they are responsible for running TO crimes when other people are running FROM crimes. They do a hard job and don’t make anywhere close to what they should make for the job they do.
My problem is that these officers in Washington are killing people when they don’t have to. They are not using available non-lethal weapons. Why aren’t they using tasers? Why aren’t they shooting people in the leg or arm? I know that their training teaches them to shoot to kill, but what they are doing is not right. It is very stupid not to follow the instructions of police officers, but you shouldn’t die when you only have a knife in your hands. Several of the people shot by cops in Washington State only had knives in their hands. The officer doesn’t have to get close up on the people AND the officers could shoot them in the leg, the arm or use a taser. I don’t get it.
Officers shooting and killing people who don’t have guns is very stupid! However, don’t make yourself a target if you happen to be driving through Washington. Chris Rock offers us some wise words when it comes to dealing with police. I think it offers some good tips for all - LOL. So do what cops tell you to do, don’t have knives and stay out of Washington State. To the cops - stop killing people! Doing that is very stupid!

OMG! That has to be one of the funniest things I’ve ever watched! I’m not a real Chris Rock fan but that was funny! Glad I’m no where near washington state.
