The police don’t have proper training. It’s sad. Before my deployment I went on 2 TDYs in CQC(close quarters combat), and they bash the whole shoot-no shoot scenarios at you. It’s a reality check when you walk around a corner in a stressful environment and there is a “fake terrorist” target on the wall and you shoot him, just to get told later that it was a 12 year old boy with a phone in his hand. Of course after a while of practice you get comfortable and handle the situations a lot better. The police force to my knowledge doesn’t get that type of training, it shows. If they do, they clearly need more practice at it
Yes they do. The police absolutely do this type of training.
They do modified real life scenarios, of actual real cases that have occurred with actors and sim rounds. They have simulated shoot don't shoot video programs. Put you through obstacle courses to get your adrenaline pumping and then have you participate in scenario training. Have you drive cars pull over actors, do scenario warrants with active shooters.
Obviously differs state to state.
I can't comment on police brutality, but actual police killings of unharmed individuals is incredibly low. And unarmed doesn't mean not dangerous or not justified.
