Police Officers Are 3 Times More Likely to Commit Murder than CCW Permit Holders

[HackerF15E]

Although this is not exactly comprehensive research, and it is only from one state, I think it would be an interesting topic to actually research using a slightly more scientific approach.

Which means it is only BS right now.

So, I guess CCW citizens would be better trusted with those kewl armored fighting vehicles than police officers. I just seems safer for all of us.

Flip the switch on all murderers.

This ...

If the guy wanted to save himself some time he could have read " More Guns,Less Crime". Nation wide the violent crime rate (per the book) is higher with cops than carry permit holders. I'm not bashing the cop. I work with them and I respect them.

and this ...

I can't tell if you are being sarcastic or serious, but I don't really think so. This "study" does not surprise me one bit. What I would like to know is how many of these officers who committed unjustifiable murder were discipline problems within their departments, or were known as "problem children" ... Although it's a bit off-topic I'd like to know how much more likely a police officer is to be killed by his spouse or S/O than the average citizen because I bet those numbers are higher than for the general population also.

The only thing I have been able to come up with from my work experience is that some cops convince themselves that they know the system well enough that they will be able to "skate" ... Drew Peterson, anyone??

Flip the switch on all murderers.

For the most part, I can't find a good argument against the death penalty in cases where there is not good cause for the murder to have been committed. I'd even add a couple more crimes in there like pedophilia, for one. Yes, I know ... That makes me a murderer at heart ...

LOL ... of course!!

BTW, guys ... I'll leave it open as long as you are civil and don't start resorting to crass generalizations ... Otherwise, you are all right ... It's just a matter of time ...

Lol, I just watched the movie that is from a couple weeks ago.

BB, you're probably right about the "murdered by spouse," part. There's that saying (built on a stereotype, and we all know stereotypes have NO truth to them )

"Cops beat and firemen cheat."

Let's test this. Someone go to an average CCW class, and after EVERYONE has 'qualified', provide each of them with an AFV to drive home for their use.

Please visually record this exercise and post the results.
