    Legal boilerplate isn’t even necessary. They’re cops. Of course they’re authorized to use lethal force, or they wouldn’t be given guns. This is so fucking stupid.

    If Trump was black, he would be dead with a bullet in his chest and/or head by now.

        Wait a second… you may have figured out how to get Republicans to defend black people. Wealthy black people at any rate.

          No, we tried that. The rich black people aren’t allowed to be concerned about black issues, otherwise they stop being one of the “good ones”

      It’s even worse than that. It’s boilerplate language that limits their use of force rather than expanding it.
