Castle Rock) and break a lot of rules and still get granted qualified immunity in the event of a lawsuit. I find it highly doubtful that saying good job to a citizen is going to cause any problems.<br /><br />While I believe that the majority of the police are pro 2nd Admendment once you start moving up in the ranks and are the public relations officer thinks become political.<br /><br />If you look at Police Officers & Sheriffs from conservative states you tend to get positive responses to these types of situations.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8964596045360803212.post-71442244074378040442012-08-13T16:26:05.170-07:002012-08-13T16:26:05.170-07:00Adam, yeah, I know what you mean.

The problem is when the police say "Good job, I'd recommend this to any good citizen of this city." Then when someone does shoot back and ends up getting killed or seriously injured, they sue the police for telling them it was okay to do so. <br /><br />If we had some serious tort reform, then we wouldn't have these issues. I don't know any cop who would care if all five of those pieces of crap were killed in that store.Adamnoreply@blogger.com
