    Pizza delivery drivers die on the job twice as often as police. Should they be able to shoot anyone they want without real repercussions?

    …Actually, food service workers specifically should get one free kill a year

      “Shoot anyone they want” is a exaggeration. There’s over 1 million police officers in this country, over 30,000 police departments… how many would you say are just “going out and shooting anyone they want?”

        Far too many for my comfort. The problem isn’t just that a lot of them do, it’s that when they do, they almost always get away scot-free. I can count the number of cops that I’ve seen actually get punished for murdering someone on one hand. I wish the number of innocent people they’ve gotten away with killing was so small.

        The average drunk driver drives thousands of miles before actually killing someone. Shall we ignore the dead children next?
