Does the polarization of society and police require a shot first mentality by LEO's or is there room any more for non violent deescalation?

Makes you wonder why anyone would ever become a cop.
You have to make split-second decisions, and no matter what they are they are always wrong.

Shot should be shoot. Apology for having fat thumbs.

“Mader, who still lives in Weirton with his family, is now working as a truck driver.”

He can now anticipate a whole big boatload of traffic tickets and safety inspections.

I remember this. Just up the road.

As I recall it had nothing to do with a "shoot first" mentality but with a cop who wouldn't or couldn't do his job and put other people at risk of injury or death.

Made acted like a MAN. He chose a path that might have put a girl cop (not to mention other citizens)in grave danger. Can’t be showing up the girls can we. This lowest common denominator factor is why all police forces are effectively feminized. There are plenty of situations where a guy with a silver gun is going to be quickly plinked. This wasn’t one of them.
