When police training changes, it is fine by me to charge them for undue haste.
But they are currently trained to react when a suspect moves toward a possible weapon, in violation of spoken orders.
It is NOT the fault of the officer. It IS an area of training that needs attention.
Yeah, well,
Fortunately, they are the exception rather than the norm, but don't get carried away worshipping the Uniform over the guy in it.
Had a friend who was accosted by 2 uniforms outside a club at 10PM. He was walking his new puppy on a leash.
One of these idiots unholstered and drew down on the Puppy, threatening to shoot it in the head if he didn't get it the EFF outta there on the instant, 'cause it might attack one of the drunks stumbling out of the bar.
The Puppy just squatted there, looking up, not having any idea what was going on, being a Puppy.
No amount of Training is going to fix that level of Azzhole.
