Sounds like someone that afraid of shoplifters shouldn’t be allowed to have a gun, or really have any punitive enforcement capabilities on anyone.

Cops are the whiniest babies. Everyone else does their job without self-crucifixion at every opportunity. “Wow I’d really like to ruin this persons life but paperwork”. So much wrong with this mentality

In liberal cities in the US police can be charged and convicted of homicide if they arrest people who overdose while in custody. You may be unaware of this, but the police know all about it. Every time they do their jobs, it's a gamble as to whether the media will decide to destroy them.

Lol! You think the risk comes from the arrest and not man-children like you who will castigate the cop for making the arrest.

No doubt the cop would be harassed in the street whilst others scream 'they didnt do nothin'
