If America wants fewer dead kids...then the kids must be trained how to react under stress. Otherwise theyll freeze and be sitting ducks. And the adults probably would to....cowards like DontTazeMeBro whose biggest risk to protect Americans has been carpal tunnel syndrome from message boards.
If America doesnt want their kids trained to react under stress...then accept kids will die often. Training for a violent situation isnt comfortable or nice or fun.
Maybe Navy commanders of warships should announce all battle drills a day in advance so everyone can get all nice and ready for it! Im sure that will get them ready for battle.
Most children aren't developmentally CAPABLE of being trained the way seem to think is proper. Here's a novel concept, the police are assumed to be experts in their field, but, as we have seen, they are far from it. How about the POLICE get some better training? Right now the cops I see (with a few notable exceptions) are excellent report writers (especially when they make stuff up...they're getting really good at that) but they have poor skills in dealing with people who they are sworn to
"PROTECT AND SERVE".
Now the public is considered a nuisance at best. That is the wrong way to look at them.
Part of the problem is society thinks the "serve" part means the same thing for cops as an Applebees wiater. They think cops should hug citizens and kiss their asses. You arent gonna get choir boys to do cop work. So dont bitch about cops being a bit too...stern and not huggy wuggy touchy feely for you.
You havent read all my posts. You dont see ones where I say a cop is clearly wrong....because those incidents are so obvious that the threads dont last long and thus not many responses. Just like when I post a story of a heroic act or charitable act...thread doesnt last long bc its not a debate.
Police are more effective now than ever. Idiots just dont see it because crime has fallen, and the bad apples get splashed on facebook or youtube for dumbasses like you to make broad assumptions about how "most cops" are.
