The training of police officers MUST change. They are too quick to assume they are in danger.

Any excuse can be used to implement lethal force, from shouldering an RPG to brandishing nail clippers. you can be holding a knife with a 1.5 inch blade or swinging a Samurai Sword. Same thing when it comes to the officer safety.

No need to be sarcastic at me. You’re the one who said that all cops are taught to shoot to kill, not me. If you did not intend that as a serious statement, you should have tagged it appropriately.

Your personal “someone told me “ story doesn’t change anything, in recent years cops seem to have moved to a make sure they are dead mind set, they don’t stop just because the threat is over that is why we get more and more of these overkills.

Indeed. I do not remember ever seeing a cop with his gun drawn.

“As Christians we have been taught, “Thou Shall Not Kill”.

You’ve been taught wrong. That’s not what the Commandment says.”
