“Police officers need to have better training.”
—
I assume you’ve been through police training-——so what would you suggest that they teach?
.
“...crazy people were sent away or kept at home...”
Yep, old school. Now they’re all over, creating physical and social danger.
Depends on their politics! Let’s face it, my sympathy level for these freaks died a long time ago. I actually wish they’d start the civil war so we could clean up the country post-haste!
“GTENS All Clear. At this time the campus has been cleared of any threats. You may resume normal activities.

Word is not students, Antifa.
I’m not making fun or light of anything.
Thugs lit a police car on fire. Campus on lockdown.
That’s serious news and I got out word of it here ahead of any national outlets.
Hope you were able to contact her and in some way I helped.
Some may be ‘making light’ on this thread, but it certainly isn’t me.
You are absolutely correct. The new nonsense being taught in training cops is producing more violent encounters, not fewer. There is a video of 2 Las Vegas cops arguing with a guy about his getting out of his vehicle. After a few minutes, he pulled a gun and shot at both of them (both were hit but not seriously wounded). The perp was shot and killed. If the cops had not been taught the so-called “de-escalation” routine, they would have tased or pepper sprayed him as soon as he disobeyed their command and dragged him out of the vehicle. Then nobody would have been shot.
There seem to be several Freepers who love second-guessing cops and don’t seem all that bothered when an officer is hurt rather than a thug. Let them try doing a cop’s job for a while where split-second decisions could result in death.
Cops are being told to do something that should get them fired.
Run away from violent offenders.
This is all from the Michael Brown incident onward and makes BLM gleeful.
We have had to stand with those protesters in our face calling us everything but our Christian names and take it. It is galling and only makes cops doubt their leadership.
When I trained in Civil Disturbance with the Guard, demonstrators were not allowed any closer than the tip of your extended riot stick. Any closer, they got stuck.
With police training, not so much. It is the suck and it is because of political correctness and the worry about optics.
I’m sure we have the Ability, Means, and Opportunity.
The Intent or Will I am not sure on.
Some people here and commenting elsewhere seem pretty glib about that. Have they ever had to try and disarm an individual with a knife? I have.
Three times in my life I have had someone pull a knife on me; none of those times did I want to kill or severely injure the assailant.
When I was in my 20’s, I seized him in an arm-lock, and let my colleagues take the knife from his immobilized hand.
When I was in my 30’s, and when I was in my 40’s, I bluffed and told them to put the weapon away before someone got hurt. It worked then; I could be pretty intimidating at the time. I doubt it would have worked with a delusional, suicidal individual, as in this case.
So what were the Campus Police supposed to do? Try to disarm him, and probably get cut? Come up behind him and knock him on the head with a billy club?
Was it Kruchev that said, "America will destroy itself from within?" Looks like he was correct.
I saw a movie where a guy did a flying back kick and took out the knife. I bet he flew 30 feet. They could try that.
One of the kids our daughter was in a music group with had problems. When he became and adult, he moved to Florida to live with his parents. He had really good parents, but something was not right. He worked at the local grocery store and had fans among the shoppers because he was a nice, caring young man.
The young man, for whatever reason, decided to commit suicide by cop. He holed up in his parents home with a knife. The cops obliged.
Imagine the tragedy his parents have encountered. Imagine the regret the cop has having to shoot the guy with a knife, and having had to kill him. His brother who was a jazz piano virtuoso in New Orleans, has moved to Florida to be closer to his parents.
Are you really satisfied the confused young man was shot? Many, if not most of the liberal extremists are beset with mental issues, and they are egged on and encouraged to be crazier by the media and democrat party.
When I worked in Corrections, there was an inmate who had pulled a knife on a cop. The officer had not drawn his gun, but had his baton in hand. He beat the knife-hand, and then the perp’s head. Brave, and skillful, policeman.
Conservatism was corrupted after 9/11 by people who worship state power.
Better to imagine a Tranny commie pervert with perpetual mental problems. They're all like that, you know. Never met one that hadn't attempted suicide. Even normal gays. Trannies have mental illness x10, so imagine!
I don't care if a million Trannies or SJWs choose suicide by cop. I think it should be legal and cops should not be prosecuted for obliging.
