The IQ level is just not there to ascertain anything other. Everyone is a lethal threat and the enemy.
Having been an EMT, I would like to know what the person was charged with.
“Why isn’t training better by now?”
Because it’s quite enough to learn American Criminal Law, American Civil Law, Family Law, Criminal Psychology, recognizing DUI, arson, criminal pharmacology, self-defense, forensics, baton control, arrest techniques, defensive driving, taser operation, crowd control, Spanish, Haitian, Mace, CNS, first aid, center of mass, and hitting the target?
