But why make a hero and a martyr? Are they stupid?
Vs. What?
Letting the world know that you can walk up to someone in the middle of the day and shoot them and get away with it?
We all know CSI shows are over exaggerated, but they give us a feeling of protection
Without a motive or a link to follow. A random gunman is next to impossible to find after they get away.
This way they don't have to make the charges stick but "they caught" the gunman.
Security theater is important
Because this happens all the time and they are used to just doing it and nothing happening.
I always think about the episode of true detective where they roll with the biker gang. They just do it cool as cucumbers, prep and say "yeah we're going off book." No debate, no explanation, it's just a thing they do.
We all saw how that ended up.
Yes?
