non cops don't. it's not fair that cops are trained to put their lives above ours. they will kill us to stay alive even when we are innocent. just cause thye are scared. well what about us? we get scared too, but we have no rights. if we make a mistake we get blown away. and the cop that does it gets a paid vacation

in a situation where an innocent person is held at gunpoint by cops, cops have all the rights, including the right to murder and get away with it. the innocent person has no rights. if the cop gets scared they can pull the trigger. if the person is scared and make a mistake, all they can do is die

What do you propose? We obviously can't do without law enforcement. Maybe the training can be revised, i'm sure there are different programs for the areas they are policing as well. Obviously training to work in a city like Chicago or LA is going to be a lot different than a small town in North Dakota or somewhere with a very low crime rate.

I feel like it's very different to discuss it as an outsider looking in opposed to being in an actual situation like that yourself and reacting.

It's a very simple solution, get rid of "probable cause". Have cops actually do some policing, get evidence, then execute warrents.

Don't just bust into peoples house because somebody said something over the phone.

Not all police have good training, not all instructors know how to teach the right way, some police also do not care to help others and just want to harm them.

Lots of variables at work.

Of course we're not in favour of cops killing innocent people.

It's just that we rarely hear the full story.

In the case TC is talking about the police told the guy to put his hands up but he refused and kept reaching for his waist. They probably shouldn't have opened fire since he was innocent and unarmed, but hindsight is great. In a real life situation things are different.

It is different. I'm an EMT, not a cop, but I am acutely aware of how stressful it is to head to a call with only the information that dispatch tells you. Dispatch typically operates with very limited information (which may be correct or it may be completely different) and when you arrive on scene, you have a small amount of time to take in everything at a scene. If a cop is called somewhere with reports of an armed suspect, or worse, an active shooter; even if there are no firearms on the premises, I cannot blame an officer for opening fire when a confused individual reaches for any place that a gun is typically concealed. I would never expect them to wait until the firearm is produced and ready to end their life at the pull of a trigger.

The kid that got murdered in the hotel was a drunk kid, the dude was confused by the asshole screaming shit at him and the contridicting instructions along with saying any mistake is a reason to use lethal force against him.

The cop who murdered that boy was looking for any excuse to kill anyone and got it with this drunk kid.

What's funny is most police would actually be cautious in that situation. Not busting in the door guns blazing.

This makes zero sense. Do you know how much goes into actually getting a warrant? What you are saying is, if there is a bank robbery in progress with armed men holding hostages, the police should first need to go out to investigate, confirm the situation, gather evidence, then go back to the station, do all the paperwork, and wait for approval on a warrant to move forward a few days later? That's brilliant, real simple solution. The hostages can just stand by for a few days.

Compare the crime rate and population of both countries though, you really can't stack them up side by side like that without factoring in that information.

I work armed security and that video pissed everyone off at my job, there were atleast 2 maybe 3 cops and all of them fucked up big time.

The way they treated the situation was way to hostile, they FAILED to assess the situation as they saw it on scene, and made the drunk boy jump through way more hoops then the girl.

The way they acted was as if these drunk kids were hardcore gangbangers, gang members, cartel, bikers or some group that actively resists arrest and are likely armed.

The only damage the drunk boy could do is puke on the floor, or uniform of the police.

If anyone at my job did any of that they would be not only in jail but someone would have knocked their crazy ass out or shot them. There are so many drunk people we get that literally just need a gentle push in the right direction be it the casino, or the courthouse.

The only times we have needed to be hard on drunks is when they dont want to leave at closing time but never to the extent of physically harming them.

I can count on one hand the number of times we had a violent drunk person to deal with.

A sober, fit officer vs. an overweight drunk dude...crawling on the floor. And yet the dude acted like they were in a war zone. Not just the shooter but the officer screaming commands.

Even in a war zone that is not how you always act, all the shouting and screaming just makes everyone nervous and on edge.

If a person cant assesss the situation they do not belong in that high stress job.

I know from experience that esculation is the wrong way to handle most situations unless you want to have a violent outcome.

Pretty much. The more you scream and threaten the more worked up a suspect is likely to be. Basic logic.
