I’ve come to the conclusion that these guys must be frightened out of their skulls on a deep emotional basis. I just can’t equate the trigger-happiness I read in these reports on anything else.

I agree.

I also wonder how much informal "training" is being done at home using "Grand Theft Auto" or "Call of Duty".

Instant reaction under stress is usually trained reaction and "muscle memory".

This is the third Police shooting I have read about. The one in NC were an elder man pull his walking stick out from the back of the truck.

Another where the police was serving a warrant in GA, kill a kid at the front door with a game controller in his hand.

Now this one, three different states. I think they need to look at police training, are they scaring the officers in the training were they think every person they pull over is going to pull a gun.

How many of those Officer serve in a War Zone? It appears they have been train like they are serving in a war zone.

The last tea party protest I attended, the park police were arm for war.... After talking to them, I found out they were brief that extremist protestors were on the way from intel reports. The intel source: Free Republic Postings...

The Police are trained to be scared of the public...
