Explain how this report or posting it demonizes the police?

Yep, nit to mention:

The marketing team at Law Enforcement Targets, Inc. sends along this helpful explanation for the “No More Hesitation” series: 

“The subjects in NMH targets were chosen in order to give officers the experience of dealing with deadly force shooting scenarios with subjects that are not the norm during training. I found while speaking with officers and trainers in the law enforcement community that there is a hesitation on the part of cops when deadly force is required on subjects with atypical age, frailty or condition (one officer explaining that he enlarged photos of his own kids to use as targets so that he would not be caught off guard with such a drastically new experience while on duty). This hesitation time may be only seconds but that is not acceptable when officers are losing their lives in these same situations. The goal of NMH is to break that stereotype on the range, regardless of how slim the chances are of encountering a real life scenario that involves a child, pregnant woman, etc. If that initial hesitation time can be cut down due to range experience, the officer and community are better served.”

“Do you trust every cop you see?”
The civilian police in this country are slowly morphing into the Gestapo.There’s no denying it.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

If he did, then he’s in the right place. This is a cop-hating website.

I made this point about a month ago in yet one of the many “cop shoots dog” threads.

I got some push-back from a few people. But most said; “Yeah? So?” ]

From what I have seen on this site we are a “City Politically Appointed Cop” and “DHS and TSA groping constitutionally violating Cop” Hating group. However we have deep love and respect for the County Sheriffs and Rank and File Service members of the military.

County Sheriffs are usually NOT the problem, the problem is the low grade “Rent-A-Cop” Cops Local and Federal who abuse their power by shooting peoples dogs, shooting home owners during home invasions because they got the wrong address, anally probing multiple people with the same freeking glove, Stealing people’s cell phones and video cameras of people who dare film them doing their job, taking people’s firearms because a scared neighbor pissed their pants when they say them go hunting and loading a rifle in their truck, etc etc etc...

The Santa Fe New Mexican might as well be the San Francisco Chronicle.
The shootings in Albuquerque by APD have all been menaces any sane citizen wants stopped. Every single one. The DOJ who loves to take over local agencies will not find any of the shooting that were wrongful.
An attack on this guy at the State Police academy is actually an attack on Governor Susana Martinez. He is swimming upstream trying to bring some improvements to some democrat created law enforcement problems around the state.

This is a cop-hating website.

Police in the U.S. are quite simply an unionized organization that is thoroughly out of control. I sure have no use for them whatsoever. I would never have one for a friend either. The odds are in favor of us being incompatible. I'm certain that many of them see their paycheck as more valuable than my life.

Police are doing the heavy lifting. Did you sign up to be a police apologist?

Does the Academy have a course in Recognition of Electronic Gagdet Remote Control Devices?

They should, so as to prevent officers from overactions if confronted with a property resident who is holding a device and opens the door.

the state’s eight-member Law Enforcement Academy Board, which is appointed by the governor and chaired by the attorney general, voted unanimously to change the New Mexico Administrative Code

Too bad New Mexico doesn't have a referendum process that would allow the citizens to change this.

The problem is that politicians and police are now working hand in glove to reduce citizens to serfs.

You get the government you deserve.

WAKE UP, AMERICA!

” Jones, a retired Army colonel, has more
than 30 years of military experience”

He thinks he is in Iraq. This is a dangerous skill set for CIVILIAN law enforcement.

Well, since I’ve lived here they’ve popped a guy with a spatula, a aftershave bottle shaped like a train, and a brakepad.

“Evil has come to the state of New Mexico, evil has come to the Southwest, evil has come to the United States,” said Jack Jones

What, specifically, is he talking about? Seems that should be a question the reporters should be asking.

I neither defend or deny that Free Republic is a cop hating website.

It is what it is. This is a place where “cops are scum” is a common refrain and no one takes issue with that.

OTOH, McGruff is apparently pro-cop, and he is getting called out on that.
