I think this demonstrates that the only thing scarier to a cop than melanin is social consequence. The spectre of someone, somewhere saying that what they are doing isn’t ok glides about the back of their mind, whispering that no one cares about the chafing of their collars as the weak pull them back from sinking their fangs into crime.
Things sure were different before stand your ground laws.
Unless video games have lied to me (extremely doubtful), you always shoot the knife guy first because he’s faster and dodges to the side a lot. Then the shotgun guy because he didn’t shoot you because you were strafing the whole time obviously, and then pistol guy but with melee attacks for the achievements
As always, so very good. Thank you.
The Detective was wrong. Arrested Hearts is the better band name.
Oh and this was genius: “the classic debate between “these devices marketed through paranoia and designed only for killing are perfectly safe” vs. “hey, wait a minute.””
“Designed Only for Killing” always makes me smile.
That’s precisely why I will never own a gun (except possibly a pellet or bb gun for target shooting…I don’t need a firearm for that).
If I ever own a gun, eventually someone is going to get shot, and possibly killed…in fact, there’s a good chance it will be me.
Because that is what guns do…it is what they are for.
There are cheaper, easier, and definitely safer ways to protect myself and my property. No one has to die for my safety.
This book reads like a plea from a cop for civillians to save the murder for them. I’m extremely anti-gun and this dingong illustrated several situations where I shrug and go ‘well I mean a wing in the leg is KINDA survivable’. All that AND he makes sure to go ‘and if you shoot someone, make sure to never ever render first aid.’
