Beck has an interesting twist on this "hesitancy" by the local cops to take out the perp:
Barry Soetoro, George Floyd, Antifa, BLM, and the rest of the fools that want to target cops. When a black man dies while a cop's knee is on him, irrespective of whether or not that black man has just ingested an overdose of fentanyl, that cop is automatically a murderer. Consequently, many cops just aren't interested in putting their asses on the line since they know their political leaders do not have their backs.
I'm not saying I agree with Beck on this one (cops gotta do what cops gotta do - whether it's charging into a room that has an active shooter in it or not), but it is an interesting twist and a potential example of unintended consequences.
