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.

You’re not the one under fire btw. Must be easy for you to sit in the comfort of your chair and talk about what she should have done. But in her shoes she was unable to see the shooter and she saw someone when she turned around, if she waited and double check she would have been killed just like the first one.

If she couldn't tell the person she was looking at was the shooter she shouldn't shoot him. If that means she dies so be it.

Sorry if that seems harsh but she chose to be a police officer and that random citizen didn't. So she can either risk her life to protect Canadians or she can find a different job. She doesn't get to risk our lives to maybe make herself safer.

I don't understand how being a cop is like, meaningless nowadays. Not only are you not expected to go out of your way to save people anymore you're not even expected to not shoot civilians. What the hell.

Ahh I see you’re just anti female cops. Well look at the shooting in the states where male cop shot and killed a civilian that stopped an active shooter, how about you’re not bring gender in this now?

Nothing about the cop matters except that they''re a cop, everything I said applies to all cops.

In fact. This comment is so fucking stupid that you aren't even serious. You're pretending to have a political alignment and views you don't seriously hold in order to discredit people who actually care about womens rights. Which is a fucked up thing to do on a post about a situation where innocent people actually died.

I can tell because I'm pretty sure you're pretending to be someone like me.

Accusations of sexism only weaken your argument.
