Legit wild how other subs are defending the officer for domeing a civilian saying things like “it’s easy for you, this was a stressful situation” and “how can it be a training issue, it’s just unfortunate”

I didn’t know that cops can now shoot civilians when shit gets real or crazy. So when swat kicks a door in they should shoot the hostage because the bad guy startled them. Training literally removes your nerves so you don’t do what that officer did. Absolute training failure and failure on the officer.

You have no clue what you are talking about.

Training helps but it wont turn you into a terminator with no emotions.

At what point are we allowed to talk about things, I was in the army, we trained on dealing with threats, target identification and most importantly PIT (Positively identify target). Training doesn’t make you a terminator but it provides a muscle memory on rapid responses and making sure you don’t commit the ultimate mistake….killing a civilian.

No cop will ever ever say “it’s okay if it get bad and you accidentally pop someone” no the they make it very clear. You shoot a civvie, you will be charged with murder. Your bullet, your responsibility. How do we prevent this, train so you don’t panic when it happens.

As a previous LE officer, and Police college firearms instructor. I whole-heartedly can't stress enough how crazy it is seeing civvies thinking they always know better. Training helps period. But it isn't magic. We are human first. Mistakes happen, adrenaline is uncontrollable. It's life, it isn't always pretty and your not always prepared. All you can do is hope when shit hits the fan, you try and be as level headed as possible.

It's the same way where Reddit is also an entire group of experts on fighter jets.

People just want to parrot the easy talking point to feel good
