    Disgusting. I hope this stupid cop rots in jail for life.

    It’s apparent there’s a crisis brewing in Law Enforcement and Officers are not getting trained properly. Frankly, I don’t care what police training says; it isn’t smart to use a sidearm on somebody who does not have any kind of weapon on them equal to that sidearm.

    Similarly we need to quickly dismiss and retire officers to a desk job or no badge at all; who are showing signs of psychological trauma and problems; regardless of if they say they’re OK or not.

    Similarly departments should not be operating in a manner that can send a stressed officer out to assist someone. Make sure duty rotations do not overly tax them, make sure they have plenty of breaks, and make sure they’re fresh, properly trained, calm and relaxed. Don’t send the wrong officer out for the job if possible. Don’t hire assholes, don’t hire felons, don’t hire people with dark triad tendencies, and don’t hire people with psychological problems or problems with authority.

    Being an officer of any jurisdiction is a privilege we should revoke in an absolute instant the moment that any indication of problems arise in their empathy and cognition. Officers need to be good and sensible people with no issues.

    There just isn’t any valid excuse for a police officer murdering an innocent, unarmed and scared woman like that. For any reason. It was his duty to protect her, and he not only did not do that, he intimidated her and killed her.

      This isn’t about training, it’s about hiring trigger happy assholes who aren’t at all interested in de-escalation.

        And if they aren’t trigger happy when they’re hired, they have to keep sitting through “warrior cop” shit until they are.

      Apparent? Other countries train police for three years, not six weeks. You won’t hear disproportionate abuse of authority and power in other developed countries, but in developing ones where corruption and hierarchical structure is systemic.
