cops are being trained as if they are combat soldiers being prepared for a warzone. this training is the problem. nobody is ever held accountable when this training costs an innocent citizen or their pet its life and we’ve now had 2 decades of this training, turning the police into little more than an occupying army.
if you call the police, you do so at your own risk. the days of Andy Griffith and Barney Fife are long gone. today’s police are hammers and to them, everyone else looks like a nail.
Yep. Very unfortunate the our country’s “community organizers” are using the issue to convince blacks that they’re being disproportionately shot by whites, rather than the truth that is the other way around.
But for the canines and humans of the US, we really ought to rein in the out-of-control, militarized police forces across this country. Too many of the people attracted to the job in the current environment are the last people we should have in the position.
Been going on for a long time. The teenage son of a family I knew in Marina del Rey in the 1970s heard a gunshot outside and called the police. When the cops arrived at their door, they had their guns pulled already, and might easily have shot the boy who called for their help had his mom not rushed to his rescue.
Cops need to understand how vulnerable they really are.Millions of citizens have operated in a war zone,the cops do not want to get taken to school by them.

No. It is worse than that. Military service members operate under stricter ROE than do police. If a service member had done this they would face a court martial and do some serious time in the brig.
No, soldiers in war zones have strict rules of engagement.
