John Allen Muhammad was an Army vet. Also radicalized by the Nation of Islam.
Maybe some folks need to be denied military training?
Christopher Dorner, 33, was also an involutarily terminated Los Angeles police officer, He had both military and police training.
Since this is my Vanity thread, I’m going to nosedive it right into the ground.
I used to think that the militarization of police was a terrible, terrible idea. Now I’m seeing the need for it.
Maybe not in the vehicles but the police need to be brought into a new generation of tactics and equipment.
There has to be some sort of balance. We have technology. Perhaps police could be on the front-lines of technology on US soil. Surveillance drones, open lines to phone taps, court-led appropriations of tools and tech.
I’m getting torn. Cops need to get some of these tools. MRAPS ? Maybe not. But the training needs to go beyond what they have now.
Instead of discussing tactics, I think we need to discuss your reasoning. You have a warped view of the issue
Killers like this do not have us "cheering".
If Dorner was so smart, why did he flee to Big Bear Lake? There are only three roads, all of them two-lane highways, from which one can escape form there.
