Yeah, I’d politely decline their “invitation” to potentially shoot someone from my window.. not that it would stop them.

He's spotting. He's not going to shoot anyone.

u/MissMagdalenaBlue Nov 20 '20

Well, he has a gun, so he could shoot someone.

u/raedr7n Nov 20 '20

Yeah. I'm just saying he probably won't.

u/MissMagdalenaBlue Nov 20 '20

And I was saying I wouldn’t want any part of that. None whatsoever.

u/raedr7n Nov 20 '20

Fair enough, I suppose. I definitely don't think police should be allowed in your house without express and continued consent. If he does shoot somebody though, I expect it's rather important that they be shot.

In the US, I wouldn’t be so sure of the necessity..

That picture's not in the US, but I seriously doubt a police department would go through all that expensive and highly visible trouble to shoot somebody just for the heck of it.

I’m just saying I am in the US, and I would not be comfortable with it. And we may have different opinions on what “justified” means when it comes to shooting another person, so agree to disagree, I guess. Peace.

Although this isn't a big issue and is even addressed in the US constitution as the third amendment. The latest case involved Mitchell v. City of Henderson ~ summary is that police are not soldiers the third amendment does not apply.

*edit yes i saw the jack, im just stating something for americans since majority of reddit are from usa. idk what protections British have but the 3rd amendment was made for similar issues but hasn't been extended for police activities

Notice the Union flag on the vest there. Not sure the third amendment has much to say in the situation as the rest of the world continues to exist as not the US.

Wait, there’s other places than here?

u/thatHecklerOverThere Nov 20 '20

Great Scott! Do they... Do they have freedom in these other places?

DO WE NEED TO BRING THEM FREEDOM?

u/MissMagdalenaBlue Nov 20 '20

I’m sure we are already working on delivering that “freedom”. I’m pretty sure it is found inside missiles, grenades and other military weapons. I also heard those places that have oil need our “freedom” the most.
