Some people like to bash the police. So officers invited them to walk in their shoes – and it blew their minds.

The Orlando Police Department has a new training tool where 65% of its simulator scenarios require de-escalation. The VirTra V-300 4K simulator surrounds trainees 300 degrees with 5 giant screens and more than 300 scenarios with an average of 85 different outcomes and paths towards resolution.

The Orlando Citizen Police Review Board was recently invited to test out the different scenarios, and witness first-hand what officers truly face when they must make the decision to use force or not. Board member Tom Keen had the opportunity to try three different scenarios.

In one scenario, he attempted to calm a virtual disgruntled worker with a gun at City Hall. In another scenario he tried to calm an irate man threatening to harm a baby, and in the last scenario he had to reason with a man who pulled off his shirt looking for a fight.

Maybe LeBron should try this. Not as easy as shooting a basketball.

LeBron loves the cops. Or did.

This is why Live PD performed a masterful public service, in allowing viewers the closest thing to riding alongside LEOs from around the country as they were doing their jobs. It is also why the Left had to destroy the show, even if it meant the destruction of its A&E network's ratings and income, because the issue is always the revolution, and presenting the truth about LEOs is counter-revolutionary and so must be suppressed at all costs.

I know sure as hell I could not do their job.
I wouldn’t have the patience for it.

Five minutes into my first domestic call I’d be unholstering
my gun and shouting “You are BOTH too STUPID to LIVE!!!”

[CodeToad]

Patience. Cops have to have lots and lots and lots of patience.

A few years ago I added a police scanner app to my phone. Late at night, I’d listen.

Listening to the things they “put up” with in their daily work life was quite an eye opener. It was worse than I imagined!!

[Pining_4_TX]

Lol, I agree. How do they put up with the morons they deal with? Someone near and dear to me is in law enforcement, was a city cop, and he said getting cussed out by drunks was part of the fun of the job. Well, to each his own, I guess. I couldn’t do it.

[pnut22]

Nor could I. Watching the cops in riot gear holding a line while having fingers and phones shoved in their faces and water bottles and sometimes bricks flew at them was a lesson in patience.

Duh Commoonity Akivis won’t learn a thing

[FormerFRLurker]

This is a great idea. I know I couldn’t be a cop, so I take my hat off to the men and women who do have what it takes.

As part of a short internship back in the mid 90s, I was attached to the City Of Rock Hill’s video production.

I did a ride-along / camera jockey for the local PD. Nothing big happened but I learned a bit from the cop I rode with.

Another thing I learned is that I am not cop material.

The funny thing is, the host was Dan Abrams, and he’s a huge lefty who’s sister is a judge appointed by obama.
