People that have been injured (I??m not talking about the police), physically and otherwise (and I HAVE been in both respects), are far more likely to strike back. If somebody targets me, in the streets or wherever, they ALWAYS back off when they see my expression and/or body language - not to mention the things that I say, lol. Sorry, but that's the way I survived here. When you tell somebody that you will kill them, and they know that you mean it, these cowards will back off ?? even if they are bigger, armed with a weapon (not a gun), etc. That??s survival in the streets, and if our leaders understood this, we??d have far less to worry about. Unfortunately, they don??t know how to handle terrorists, and the do-gooders would rather we all die than protect ourselves. I learned a long time ago that cowards, which all predators are, do not go after crazy people.
You are kidding yourself if you think that by removing the police we would be safer. This is absurd.
If you could be a little more specific as to the circumstances of the police injuring you, maybe it would make more sense ?? because some of us have not had this experience. I??m not saying it didn??t happen, but we don??t know what your experience was. I??ve gotten ticketed a few times for smoking in the wrong place, and spoken to nastily, but that??s about it.
I have had a lot more trouble with people than cops, and I think that many would say the same. Some people actually deserve what they get, but you don??t seem to think that justice ever prevails. Well, I've accepted the fact that it doesn't always happen, there are some bad people everywhere and always will be, and try to work around it. Sorry for your problem, whatever it was. I've been badly hurt also. As the old military saying goes, "That which does not kill you, makes you stronger".
