- bougiefever 9y agoIt's too bad that more of them don't have better military training where you are trained to not start shooting wildly in stressful and dangerous situations. Being a cop is not that dangerous of a job in America. Being a farmer or a roofer is far more deadly. Being a dog catcher is a more dangerous job than being a cop, and you don't hear story after story of them shooting indiscriminately at dogs. Cops should not be killing and injuring so many people, and the only way that is going to stop is if they are held accountable.
- krtkush 9y agoThere was a recent episode on radio lab[1] in which it was highlighted that ex-military policemen are actually better than their counterpart because they have better control over there emotions and actions during a confrontation. On the other hand, non-military people these days are not as well trained and are hence are more likely to shoot.
