sounds like it would be an incentive to shoot someone. 

i think they call that projection. amongst other things

now amongst folks who have actually shot folks, not to be confused with folks beating their gums about it on the internet, i've never seen that. cops military or civilians.
seen some of each group talk smack  but no real players just the poseurs
It is much more powerful to seek Truth for one's self.  Seeing and hearing that others seem to have found it can be a motivation.  With me, I was drawn because of much error and bad judgment on my part. Confronting one's own errors and bad judgment is a very life altering situation.  Confronting the errors and bad judgment of others is usually hypocrisy.

I don't like the idea of a (good*) shoot being a career ending move.

Trouble is that every police shooting is a "good" shoot  ;/   =(


* we all know that some people just need shooting
Freedom is a heavy load, a great and strange burden for the spirit to undertake. It is not easy. It is not a gift given, but a choice made, and the choice may be a hard one. The road goes upward toward the light; but the laden traveller may never reach the end of it.  - Ursula Le Guin

Sorry, you must have missed this:

A Dallas police officer who shot a mentally ill man in a disputed incident caught on tape has been fired and charged with felony aggravated assault, police said Thursday.

Police Chief David Brown apologized for the actions of Officer Cardan Spencer, who had been on administrative leave following the Oct. 14 shooting.

"Officers are not above the law," Brown said at a news conference. "We as a police department are not going to look the other way."

While it maybe true, but give the police enough time and the victim perp, will have been found to be into, kiddie pron, cheated on his taxes, sold drugs, gambled in overseas casinos, invested in bitcoin, and anything else that would make it a good shooting.

Not that it was aggressive behavior but how does aggressive behavior give the cops the right to shoot someone?  I thought the standard was fear for their life?  I guess that standard has gone out the window.

That was replaced a decade or more ago by, "They just want to go home at the end of their shift." That's the new mantra that justifies all excessive use of lethal force by the police.
