I think for there to be any chance for government officers to do their jobs, and for there to not be any pointless deaths, their authority should never be challenged in the streets, and if they do abuse that authority, the officer should be severely punished.
No mistaken identity of no-name masked gunmen picking and killing random people in neighborhood. Clearly they must be the 1984 government!
> their authority should never be challenged in the streets
Interesting that you chose to emphasize that instead of having limits on their authority of actions like killing citizens in this case.
A stern reprimand will have to do because government would go bankrupt before finish settling for the scale of human rights abuse happening on the daily basis.
What if it’s the only way to save your life or the life of another innocent?
