If you were a cop would you shoot Jake?


I hate police brutality, but if I were a cop I'd shoot him. Cause if someone like that is capable of hurting someone for no reason, I would have to just defend myself around that person. No way, it's either me or him who's gonna live.

Then you would be Jake Jr

Why? If someone who has hurt innocent people like that for those reasons, what's to say he won't do it to me? How am I supposed to trust him not to hurt me?

reply

Law enforcement officers take an oath to uphold the Constitution and state and city laws. You want to be a paid assassin.

reply

Well, yeah, but any cop would be put in that predicament if they had to put up with a Jake. This is a guy who kills for the most absurd reasons. Cops have to defend themselves. I mean what's to say he won't kill me? Or my family while we're at it?

I was cop over 30 yrs. There are Jakes in the real world. You are always vigilante around them, but you still can't treat the situation like an assassin.

You're aware this is a guy who kills for the most absurd reasons, right?

I have absolutely run into Jake's type. Typicall they want nothing whatsoever to do with the police. He used his sick perversion of power against the powerless. As the police you are vigilante around the Jake's of the world. When you catch em dirty you take appropriate action. Dirty in Jake's case was he was always carrying a gun. Great reason to lock his ass up.

If guys like this scares you as the police a good option would be to tender resignation and find another job.
