one man ran at him with a rock 15 times and an an immense show of restraint, the cop did nothing the first 14 times and then bulldozed his family's house

This is why, instead of tazers, cops need a Gom Jabbar-type device.
Two high-ranking New York Police Department officials and a police sergeant who oversaw gun license applications were among the latest arrests in a case that has cast a cloud over the nation's largest municipal police force.
A businessman who contributed heavily to the election campaign of Mayor Bill de Blasio already has pleaded guilty in the case. Earlier this month, federal prosecutors charged the head of the correction officers' union with taking kickbacks. De Blasio, a Democrat, hasn't been implicated in any wrongdoing.
A criminal complaint accompanying the latest charges described how Brooklyn businessman Jeremy Reichberg exploited his connections within the police department to arrange arrests, speed up gun application processing, make tickets disappear, obtain police escorts for him and his friends, get assistance from uniformed personnel to resolve personal disputes and boost security at religious sites and events.
Susan Necheles, Reichberg's lawyer, said in an email: "Mr. Reichberg did not commit a crime."

i knew an anarcho type kid who was intensely into marcuse and from baton rouge, after katrina he launched into this huge diatribe about his hometown being ruined by "people" from new orleans & an obvious subset of people started leaving the room. later he fell off a balcony while drunk and broke like eight bones because anarchists believe that justice should be achieved by voluntary action.

it works if you preemptively shoot them as soon as you see them

well i think like once you've bought camo pants, a beret, a military duffel bag, etc., after a while it just feels strange if you don't have a gun, especially if you have no other career prospects. dress for the job you want etc.
