Something we need to return to is cops with the courage to take some risk, currently they just kill whatever is in front of them as though they are conducting a raid on an enemy camp.
Cops need to be taught about where they are and who they are walking among, and that they need to accept a degree of risk in many cases, they can’t keep operating in this modern mode of instantly eliminating all possible or suspected threats to their own personal safety, this is the issue that is making many of us decide that we need to never involve them in family quarrels or disputes, unless we are ready to see people die.
Cops are unstable and unpredictable and have a union mentality of, the public will have to keep absorbing losses to make sure that cops aren’t at risk.
Agreed.

Kind of like weeding your vegitable garden with a D9 Cat...
I don't say this to excuse the behavior of all police officers, but a society that has degenerated to the point where we call the police to deal with a problem rather than dealing with it ourselves really has no business complaining about how they do their jobs.
I hate to see incidents end like this one did, but if this kid was walking around a neighborhood threatening people like this in a place where there was no police department, he probably would have faced a much worse fate than this.
Exactly. That's the real issue. It's a risky job. They know that when they take it. They aren't an occupying force among the enemy.
