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 |
| By calling attention to a well-regulated militia for the security of the Nation, and the right of each citizen to keep and bear arms, our Founding Fathers recognized the essentially civilian nature of our economy. Although it is extremely unlikely that the fears of governmental tyranny, which gave rise to the second amendment, will ever be a major danger to our Nation, the amendment still remains an important declaration of our basic military-civilian relationships, in which every citizen must be ready to participate in the defense of the country. For that reason I believe the second amendment will always be important. --JOHN F. KENNEDY |
