That's how it was with the terrorist attack on drottninggatan Stockholm in Sweden... Säpo (security police) knew about him but he was allowed to roam free.. Allegedly

Dude invited some armed police to have a shootout with him. He didn't target any unarmed civilians. It's a scummy thing to do and only detrimental to others, but it's not cowardly.

Killing people is cowardly

Not really. If I kill someone in self-defense it's not cowardly at all, or the defense of innocents. Do you think the cop who shot this guy was cowardly then?

This isnt self defense though, this is a coward who ambushed police. What is wrong with you

u/Commercial_Hold7067 Jun 22 '26

You said "Killing people is cowardly". So you take that back?

u/King-Conn Jun 23 '26

No, killing people at random is cowardly. Most people have the brainpower to distinguish self defense and senseless killing. Clearly, you lack that mental capacity. I hope you do not have a firearms license.

This is a newer reason why I have no regard or care about any police officer deaths in the line of duty: Incompetence in preventing the tragedy from happening in the first place & in dealing with it live. The poor conduct of these officers reflect on the organization as a whole.

The other older reason is that I firmly believe that if you keep an instrument capable of death on you for any reason, you are effectively carrying a double-edged sword that you will be gripping bare-handed on the blade sooner or later. So don't be surprised if you bleed.

If you can't make peace with that, you need to find a different job and/or do something else. These are mechanical devices that demand utmost due-diligence and care to operate safely & effectively, there is virtually no room to have anything in the way of safe operation especially if it is to potentially use them in anger and sometimes unthinkable scenarios.
