Armed citizens "absolutely" distracted police by drawing guns during the Colorado Walmart shooting on Wednesday night that left three dead, police said—the latest example of law enforcement struggling to deal with armed civilians in the middle of a crisis.
In the midst of the Colorado manhunt, police officers wasted precious minutes poring over surveillance footage, becoming frequently distracted because the tape showed several armed people whose movements needed to be tracked before cops could rule out each as a suspect, reported The Denver Post. |

Geee, I wish cops' jobs were easy, 'cause I like doughnuts!
Sorry about the snark. Yea, cops have a tough jobs. I don't think I'd like doing it, and I respect those who do put on the blue and protect & serve.
But I was taught back in the Jurassic Period that the only way for cops to have it simple was in a police state.....we give up our rights, our freedoms, and gain security. You know what happens then?
Freedom is messy. Sorry. Put on your big-boy pants and buck up and BE FREE! |

It isn't our responsibility to make cops' jobs easier.
Will we, if we can? ABSOLUTELY.
But our right to defend ourselves supersedes the cops' job being "easier".
Period. |

TO REMEMBER |
| There are other things so clearly out of the power of Congress, that the bare recital of them is sufficient, I mean the "...rights of bearing arms for defence, or for killing game..." These things seem to have been inserted among their objections, merely to induce the ignorant to believe that Congress would have a power over such objects and to infer from their being refused a place in the Constitution, their intention to exercise that power to the oppression of the people. —ALEXANDER WHITE (1787) |
