It's absurd that cops seem to think their ROE should be that of a combat zone.

All of the use of force policies I have read for AL LE Agencies real almost verbatim like the affirmative defense of self-defense for civilians in AL. This is a good thing in my opinion.

The agency that I worked for last followed the statute, the agencies I worked to prior to last one had similar policies, and now that I am on the other side the agencies that I have looked into (granted not every agency) read very similarly.

The statute I reference is 13A-3-23. Any person that carries a firearm in AL in any capacity should familiarize themselves with this statute or stop carrying a firearm.

13A-3-23 As Published by the State of AL

Compare the above to your own state's legislation and then compare it to the policies of the LE agency(s) you interact with. Happy motoring.

Infantry Privates in Afghanistan were expected to operate under ROEs that placed them at greater risk than the typical cop seems to think he should endure. And those privates make a LOT less and are working in actual war zones.

I don't really expect super cops. And, like I said, I wouldn't have found this guy guilty.

But, for frick's sake. Quite often, the simplest solution to "I'm scared shitless" is to back up.

I watched 100 pound woman with a 6" knife gunned down on video while surrounded by 4 cops including 3 men over 200lbs. The woman was literally mentally ill in need of treatment and might actually have been a decent human had she gotten the treatment.

In another situation, a butter knife wielding, Yes, I said BUTTER KNIVE wielding 91 year old in need of back surgery was gunned down by the 2 cops called to the nursing home to assist. I mean frick. The nursing home would have been better off calling 2 bubbas.

That's just bull shite.

Thank god those officers went home safely.

Deadly force is deadly force regardless of who wields it. I for one, do not want agents of the state having more leeway than civilians. That is the definition of tyranny.

That sounds equitable.

I think he wants civilians to have less (which they practically do).

The police are under no obligation to "back up"

If the choice is "back up" or shoot the 85 lb. bipolar kid armed with a screwdriver in his house, they should shoot?

So your saying poorly trained officers made bad judgement calls on those two cases. Me too. But we spend more time focusing on the Castile type cases because of the race hustlers. And less time focusing on areas that need to be addressed.
