Ah okey. well not blame them for everything. But yeah, train them to not kill all the time is a good idea. Our previous knife attacker that was missed by most media got shot in the leg and then tased. At least now we can question him.
See now there ya go. You're a civilian telling cops (who do this stuff for a living) how they should train their people.
Yeah, it's great if disabling is an option.
But that's the rub. We aren't there at the scene. We just read about this shyt on the internet.
Shot in the leg then tased, might be a good idea, unless the guy was Dwayne Johnson on PCP, or similar. My point is, that every arrest is a judgement call.
Police are just people, trying to do a very difficult job as best as they can.
No, they aren't ALL perfect, and they don't ALL make the perfect decisions. But if all the non-cop folks keep removing them from their job because of a mistake, pretty soon you won't have any cops.
Then... who ya gonna call?
