As a person with good hearing I’m wondering what you’re supposed to do in a situation like this to avoid getting killed.
Anyone know of any stats on the military service experiences of these shooter cops? Possible ptsd? Is this fear the officer had just the result of police training or was he dodging IEDs in Iraq? I’m just curious. And WTF is it with “gamers?”
- maxerickson 9y agoUS military people are often quite critical of the rules of engagement employed by US police. Even in potentially more dangerous situations the military typically is much more disciplined and slower to use lethal force.
- burntwater 9y agoPerhaps one answer here is to require military service before becoming a police officer. That potentially could solve two issues; better trained police, and employment for veterans.
- ThrowawayR2 9y ago> Perhaps one answer here is to require military service before becoming a police officer. People will protest even more loudly over "police militarization" and not without some justification. Beyond that, it reduces the supply of police officers to people willing to serve in the military and then become police officers afterward instead of some other career.
- qaq 9y agoI wonder why you are being down voted? Many military guys have served in way more dangerous places while observing in many situation rules like do not fire unless fired upon etc.
- burntwater 9y agoI wondered the same thing! But didn't bring it up since complaining about votes is frowned upon. But I really was puzzled. Is it that controversial of a statement/question? I don't see it.
