But should they be trained to shoot when they see a threat? They should feel regret if a colleague is killed because of their inaction, but shouldn't they feel more regret if they kill an innocent person? Why should you _have_ to manage the emotions of some cops entering your home lest your son be shot and killed?

- some_random 3y agoWe're talking about the difference between not rushing into a collapsing room to search for victims versus just refusing to go into a burning building because it's dangerous. Of course in a firefight cops should focus on winning first before attempting to render aid, that's common sense. That doesn't mean they should be allowed to aggressively escalate encounters up to killing someone who is rational and compliant just because they are armed.
