    Legal boilerplate isn’t even necessary. They’re cops. Of course they’re authorized to use lethal force, or they wouldn’t be given guns. This is so fucking stupid.

    If Trump was black, he would be dead with a bullet in his chest and/or head by now.

      It’s even worse than that. It’s boilerplate language that limits their use of force rather than expanding it.
