Not just dogs anymore...

They make instant decisions to shoot infirmed old men who didn’t take their medicine, old men who were waiting for ambulances, 13 year old boys with toy guns....

Maybe cops should be better trained to think a bit more first.

It would seem that I got BETTER training in my 3 hour NRA First Steps Pistol Course.

!. Always Point the gun in a safe direction
2. Finger OFF the trigger
3. Assume it is LOADED

(and, further into the book...NEVER point the gun at a family pet. NEVER, NEVER.)

Cops should have to eat their kills.

Don’t forget the kid the other day in California and the former Marine in Arizona, I believe it was. The old man in Texas. The difference is these were human lives that were taken.

That's just it. It's my firm belief that they are trained NOT to think, just to react according to a strict protocol. It's all part of the "death of common sense."
