The "forces of Evil" is a term from the Dark Ages. The shooter was mentally ill. The reason it happened wasn't because "God" created the situation. Un reasonable gun laws by Republicans, a system that allows mentally ill person to buy AK-15's, lack of mental health facilities are some of the reasons this happened. Humans diagnosed with mental illness should not be able to own guns. Normal people frequently lose control during arguments over money, intra-personal issues with family, friends, or people known to them. Law enforcement cannot predict who, when and where someone will lose control and start shooting people. Humans are just irrational primates, Only trained people in a military structure have any business to have a gun. Even police shoot people accidently or on purpose.

COPS DON'T WANT TO KILL We hear so much about the subjects from police shootings, and the need for more police 'accountability'. But we don't hear about the pain caused to police officers, and their families, after they are forced to respond to lethal force situations by the suspects dangerous and violent actions. We need to remember, that this is for the ones who are fortunate to have even survived the lethal force situation. Here is Chad Robichaux's story about his officer involved shooting: 1) Dangerous Situation: A subject creates a violent and dangerous situation placing innocent people at risk of dying. A male with a gun at a domestic violence call, and a family in need of safety. 2) Resistance To Shooting: Chad felt an overwhelming resistance to using lethal force. Like many officers, it was unexpected, as the suspect pointed a gun directly at him. In the book Shots Fired, Chad describes that before the shooting, he would've said "blast him" if told about this situation. But then he delayed shooting and tried to grab the gun, putting his life in greater danger. That is powerful resistance to using lehtal force is a common response for so many officers. 3) Emotional Pain: Chad felt a deep emotional pain for being forced to shoot someone. In the book, Chad writes that he felt compassion for this man, who was pointing a gun at him. 4) Media Bias: Despite no charges against Chad, the media headline from his shooting was: 'Cold-Blooded Murder'. This is so disrespectful to someone who just risked his life, and his mental health, to keep his community safe. 5) Lack of Understanding: Not only did the media not understand, but even his own wife struggled with how to understand and support Chad. He describes severe emotional pain, leading to thoughts of suicide. Here's why this matters: This wasn't a murder in need of 'accountability'. This was a man who was forced to shoot a man to keep the community safe. This came after Chad risked his own life, to keep that man's own family safe. He was then vilified in the media, and his life fell apart for years. I know many officers who have suffered severe distress after a police shooting, and many of this officers are actually the victim to someone else's suicide by cop attempt. Many have described the investigation, and (unwarranted) criminal charges as WORSE than surviving their lethal force situation. That's the type of situation, and person, that is regularly being vilified in the media as a murderer after a police shooting. They aren't a nameless faceless police uniform. They're a good person, just like Chad. The public needs to understand the difference between a non-culpable homicide and a murder. Most importantly, we need to stop treating cops like criminals, when we are asking them to keep us safe from dangerous situations.

It is crucial to recognize the shifting landscape of violent encounters and the growing role of the citizenry in preventing and responding to these incidents. Recently, there has been an uptick in instances where citizens have stopped active violent offenders before law enforcement arrival. These instances demonstrate the importance of being prepared and proactive in protecting oneself and others. It is heartening to see citizens acting swiftly to prevent harm. These developments underscore the importance of responsible gun ownership and the need for citizens to be trained in self-defense techniques. It is crucial to recognize that the safety of oneself and others often depends on quick thinking and decisive action. By being prepared and empowered, citizens can play a vital role in preventing and to stopping violent encounters. #unitedwestand #onenation #underGod

How come Switzerland has as many guns per capita like the United States but has a lower crime rate? It makes sense to learn gun safety and use at an early age. Responsible gun owners follow the rules such as checking the permits (or CCW permit) of gun buyers before selling and transferring their firearms. In addition, some communities have a safe storage for gun owners to keep their firearms if they feel unsafe. For example some of our veterans may experience suicidal thoughts during periods of stress or trauma anniversaries. Providing a place to store their firearms prevents suicide. Furthermore, a gun safety educated community is more likely to be attentive to persons who could pose a threat to public safety; and encourage them to seek help voluntarily. https://lnkd.in/g68WCsaG
