    “ Pelham paced outside, holding a gun and yelling at police. He eventually went back inside and fired the gun several times. For their own safety, police left the property that night, and let Pelham sleep off his drinking."

    WHAT THE FUCK?!

      Of course they left. They didn’t want to get shot. You have noticed that cops kill a lot of unarmed people? It’s because they don’t shoot back.

      Are you suggesting the police take action against every drunk, gun waving neo-nazi who threatens them?!?

      They’d never get any extra-judicial killings, corruption, or asset seizure done.

        We already allow the cops to police themselves.
