Again, show me some policy changes to protect the innocent. All I hear is crickets.
police use of force policy is based on a US Supreme Court case Graham v. Connor

Aiming for center mass does not equate with shooting to kill. Aiming for the head is shooting to kill. Aiming for the head results in more misses, thereby putting bystanders at risk. That's one reason cops are trained to aim for center mass. But you think cops should aim for the head instead?

They won't pick me; I know too much.

Which, in some cases, is a pity. I understand that in domestic violence cases, the jury is unaware the reasons behind of "why didn't she just leave?". Of course, with my background, I know why........

.........but I guess that's just the way it works, that the jury is composed of people not so studied in security matters.

As for everybody who is critical of the police... Why don’t you volunteer and become a police officer? They won’t because these people, who believe that cops are some type of blood thirsty killers, do not want to be put in a life or death situation... Or deal with the sheet law enforcement officers have to deal with every single day.

Because of these people, the country, as a whole, is having problems in recruiting AND retaining officers... Who wants to be a LEO when half the country hates you, BUT!! Has no issues in calling the cops when they need one.

It’s easy to beech about something that you know nothing of, but it’s a different story when it’s time to step up to the plate and do something... Other than beech about something that you have never done before or ever will.

Please talk to a police recruiter AND be that “mythical” law enforcement officer AND lets see how long you last in the real world.

He'll be sucking off the govt tit for the rest of his life.
Once he was found not guilty, he was going to appeal his termination. There was a potential that he would be reinstated as an active police officer on patrol again, against the wishes of the police department. The city was trying to avoid him working again, so they cut a deal that made sure he would not be in contact with citizens. Their hands were tied since they fired him largely due to the shooting, which he was cleared of by the jury.

This is really not that difficult to understand.

Watch that, it's very clear no one posed any threat yet the guy was shot dead just for pulling his pants up, by a guy who had a gun that whom the pieces of garbage had a "YOU'RE ******" on his weapon yet wasn't allowed to be used as evidence against the guy by a very evil judge who is very obviously racist, sexist, loves evil doers and loves subverting the law.

What happened in the aforementioned video is completely unjustified yet happened anyway. Obviously the same judge would have been completely been cool had the same guy that did that brutally raped a woman than shot her dead, not like he would have cared.

I wish that like in the military cops had an "Don't fire unless fired upon" mindset. Far better is it for a cop to be shot and killed than an innocent civilian. May sound harsh, but given the vast majority of cops comprise of the losers in high school that, while those of us had an IQ above 50 went on to college, these losers and freaks ended up going nowhere in life? Have you ever noticed how most of the jackasses you knew in high school ended up becoming either nurses or cops because they love having the power and control over others?
You listen and live. Idiot I guess didn’t want to live.

The fact that the United States has so many illegal aliens is irrefutable proof that millions of people will break the law without a second thought if they feel they can get away with it.
