I went through a SF pistol course. Kicking in doors, not shooting the ‘prisoner’, that kind of thing. After a while you get conditioned to aquire targets real fast. Well, that’s when the instructors started to mess with you. They put groceries in the terrorists hands, and pistols in the lady ‘prisoner’s hands. This was the second part of the course where they trained you to see what you saw, not what you expected or were jacked up to see. They wanted to burn into you that your mind would play tricks on you.
I don’t think police get that kind of training. They just seem to get a minimal...’Drop the...( bang bang ) gun, and do( bang bang )...’.
I’ve seen plenty of video arrests where one jacked up officer is yelling ‘put your hands up’, another is yelling ‘Don’t move’ and a third is yelling ‘ get down, get down’, while the first officer who yelled ‘get your hands up’ is getting mad because the subject is sort of hands up, down, not moving, getting down, not getting down.
It is obvious that they don't communicate with each other, but I don't think it happens only in the police department, it happens in civilian jobs too
