And some of the LEOs that are so special that know so much more than us lowly citizens are damned casual about collaterals. Friend those are real previously live people.
A few of you sound like I would IF I said after the next death of a swatter, 'meh, play military games, suffer military consequences. Tough sh1t, Sparky.'
You got it all wrong!(I mean that in a constructive way) Police are human like anyone else. Just pointing a loaded weapon at someone is scary enough and pulling the trigger on a person is the LAST thing that
a police officer wants. I have been involved in a fight for my weapon on two occasions. Both times I was afraid to shoot the perp. Both times I used my weapon to hit the perp several times before holstering my weapon and cuffing them. I thank God that I did not shoot them. These incidents are why I do not miss working the street.
You really should join a Reserve Division so that you can learn first hand about working the street. You will discover a whole new world.
