Welcome to the News community!
Rules:
1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.
2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.
Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.
5. Only recent news is allowed.
Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.
6. All posts must be news articles.
No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials, videos, blogs, press releases, or celebrity gossip will be allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis. Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.
7. No duplicate posts.
If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.
8. Misinformation is prohibited.
Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.
9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.
All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link. Newswire services such as AP, Reuters, or AFP, are frequently republished and may be shared from other credible sources.

For copyright reasons, you are not allowed to copy an entire article into your post body. This is an instance wide rule, that is strictly enforced in this community.

The problem is fear. In general, we don't teach cops how to deal with complex situations. We don't teach them how to deescalate potentially dangerous situations. We don't teach them how to peacefully resolve conflicts. All they are taught now is Killology (AKA Warrior Training).
...
Cops out there now are terrified that they are constantly in the sights of one bad guy or another. They are in a state of constant terror that anyone might pull out a gun and murder them. People in that mindset cannot be trusted to be "peace" officers.
This man has a financial interest in keeping officers as scared as possible so their Chief can book training courses with this guy.
I wouldn't take whatever he says as having any basis in reality.
You and I know that, but the cops he's training eat that shit up and then wet their pants in terror when an acorn falls on their squad car .
One of the fucking greatest things I've ever seen.
Dude apparently thinks he has been shot, so of course, what makes sense to do is:
'Combat roll'
(Utterly tactically useless given the angle from where he thought he was being shot from)
'Suppressive fire toward a restrained person in custody in a police cruiser...'
("I need to shoot my partner's car!")
'... narrowly missing his partner cop...'
'... and with flimsy ass shit tier residential townhomes as the back stop beyond the car.'
That guy needs to be sentenced to only be allowed to appear in public in a full on clown suit for 5 years.
Its actually a miracle he didn't kill anyone.
Jesus I had forgotten about that one...
its the squirrels.
Skwrls are the worst.
Is this the guy that teaches them when they murder someone it will be the best day of their lives?
The problem is cowardice.
There's some of that, but I think it's pride more than fear. Cops hate it when you don't "respect their authority" or dare to assert your rights. They think they have the right to do whatever they want, no matter what the law says...
they are also recieving training on killing methods from the IDF.
