How to end police shootings in one easy step.
|
 
That won't stop it from happening. So long as armed people are sent, frightened, into a dangerous situation.. they're inevitably going to pop off a few rounds at a little girl for loudly chewing bubble gum out of the corner of their eye.
It would be a good start, though.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
I thought the step was:
1. More guns. RE: How to end police shootings in one easy step.

LOL, I'd go the other way with it, personally. Less guns. We have swat teams for those times that guns would be required...and iirc, yall in the uk have a sort of middle road between patrol and swat, right?

I don't think so. Why don't non-cops do that then? It's not about human nature or something, it's about consequences.

Because they don't send themselves, armed, into a place where they perceive themselves to be and are perceived by others as an enemy...where they fear being shot? You might notice that -noncops- do behave that way, when they're frightened, ofc. People just keep shooting their spouses as intruders....and that;s in their own homes. Multiply that dread many times over, and that's where cops work.

I agree, the police don't need to look like an army unit. Despite what the media tells you, violent crime is near an all time low in America. Guns should be a last resort for the police. Hell they should pull out the tasers first. A taser will take down an armed person same as a gun.

It's also easier to apologize to someone you've tazed for what was..in retrosepct, no good reason.... than it it is to apologize to someone you shot 13 times in the chest at close range with 9mm para B.

It's very rare that officers out on patrol are armed, with the exception of Northern Ireland, but it has increased slightly over the past couple of years especially in major cities. But yes we do have heavily armed units that handle domestic terrorism. |
