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 |
| No kingdom can be secured otherwise than by arming the people. The possession of arms is the distinction between a freeman and a slave. He, who has nothing, and who himself belongs to another, must be defended by him, whose property he is, and needs no arms. But he, who thinks he is his own master, and has what he can call his own, ought to have arms to defend himself, and what he possesses; else he lives precariously, and at discretion. — James Burgh, Political Disquisitions: Or, an Enquiry into Public Errors, Defects, and Abuses [London, 1774-1775]. |
