The best Target is the one that stands perfectly still ,de-escalate training ,play dead
It’s not the Chicago cops that are shooting up the city.
Learning the Vulcan mind meld?
Exactly. If there’s any more “de-escalation”, Chicago is going to turn into something out of Escape from New York.
I have a much better “de-escalation” tactic -— allow Chicago PD open season on shooting the 1,000 - 1,500 worst gang bangers, thugs, and punks. Just put them down as fast as you can find them. See if that de-escalates the murder rates in Chicago, for a good while at least....
You can’t make this stuff up. Liberals are completely deranged.
Inside every liberal there is a totalitarian screaming to get out.
This de-escalation training sounds like a plan! ( sarc.)
Chicago and Detroit, governed by liberals, have become New Jack City, Way Cool.
An expert fast talker like a liberal attorney or professor could be used as a policeman’s shield.
Even the typical Bernie supporter knows much more about what a cop should do.
De-escalation Training is actually get yourself killed Training.
If I were a cop in Chicago, with the BLM attitude and leftist politics of the place, my “de-escalation” plan would be to stay in my patrol car, and if I see anything, call for back and wait until others arrive.
If you come upon an armed robbery in progress, apologize for the intrusion and back away slowly. Try not to upset criminals in any way.
After that incident in which 6 policeman got charged in some scumbag’s death, I think the cops in Baltimore tried “deescalation” on their own; as I recall, that didn’t really help in terms of the murder rate there - quite the contrary. Chief Johnson in Chicago might want to look up the “Ferguson Effect”, and give some thought as to what it implies.
Meanwhile, Chicago citizens with middle class incomes face sharply ratcheting taxes and fees while the poor face an increased chance of gang-related deaths. Perhaps all citizens should be permitted self-defense!
Looking at the dashcam video and reading up on the case for a few seconds makes it look like the cop did over-react. The kid had a 3-inch knife and while he did turn quickly, he was not advancing on the officers when he was shot, that I could tell. He was shot 16 times in 13 seconds, most of which time he was on the ground in no position to threaten anyone with a 3-inch knife.
I’m gonna have to vote “bad shoot” on this one.
Maybe the South and West side of Ciraq should listen to what Chris Rock had to say about proper behavior when the police come calling.
Hilarious. So far in 2016, there have been 18 police shootings, with 6 killed and 12 wounded.
At the same time, there have been 483 gunfire homicides, with 2639 wounded.
Obviously it is the police who are the problem here.
“Why did you shoot him sixteen times, officer?”
“I ran out of ammo, judge.”
BOOM!
Wow, that de-escalated fast.
