Quanell X Changes His Tune After Real-World Police Training


A enlightening experience for him I am sure.


“Please brothers and sisters,” he insisted, “if they tell you to do something, do it.”

Wow. Good for Quannel X that he stepped up to the challenge of seeing the other side.

He explained his rationale behind the choices he made – including one scenario that ended with a suspect shooting at him. Looking back, he acknowledged that race was not a factor in deciding how to respond to a threat.

“If I’m in a high-crime area that I’ve worked,” he said, “and I know it’s a high-crime area and I know the kind of calls we get, I could easily see me pulling my gun quicker, on a simple call. I hate to say it.”


--------------------------

So I am reading about this here... and he says

He’s shocked at how many shots he fired, something he so often questions in police shootings.

“I think I might have emptied my clip,” said Quanell, and standing in a cop’s shoes, Quanell wants them to have more backup.


LOL - and he is calling for more police. And he's right.

The best advice he could give them. If there are issues with how they are being treated, hire an attorney after the fact.

My neighbor, a liberal herself, took a police course in Baltimore. She gained A LOT of respect for the police and the job they do afterwards. Still a liberal, but one that looks at reality and not just emotion.

Most liberals look at reality. There's a reason there's not that many liberal Trump supporters...

Reality can be emotional. That is when self control is suppose to kick in.
Unfortunately, it is high crime area, because of the lack of self control.

How so? He is usually out agitating before the facts are known.
