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.

Not justifying her killing somebody, I’m saying you weren’t there when a man jumped behind your back when you’re being hunted down by a shooter how just shot your colleague. Say what you want but if I was there I can’t even think of how I’d react to it.
