I put a large part of the blame for incidents like this and others on the officer’s training.
If your training since day one ends with you shooting someone you are being told that every incident MUST end in someone’s death. A complete, not a whitewash, investigation ever takes place after a SWAT shooting you will discover that none of their training exercises have a no shoot solution.
Even the FBI in the 1930s knew there has to be situations where shooting in NOT the proper result. Too bad local LEOs haven’t been taught this life saving training.
Bingo, and training like this is directly responsible for the death and dismemberment of even the most innocent of our society, including children.
Training like this *directly* benefits the Obama regime; those who support police militarization are supporting a tyrant-preferred method of clinging to unlawful power.
