    But we know people are subject to crowd panic. It’s not an excuse, but definitely part of the reason was they worked themselves into a frenzy until someone let loose. They’re all guilty, but it’s also a human weakness that police need to solve

    This one I can’t even see how it happened. There was no crowd, nothing that could be perceived as threatening, no real possibility of any sort of violence, not even a threat of escaping. Most importantly, she was the “victim”, she called for help, how does that turn into her being suspicious? We’re far beyond any possibility of an excuse for that behavior, but I don’t even see how

      These mfs are basically trained to see civilians as a threat. So I’m not surprised that they randomly attack people who are not threats. Psychological conditioning can be very powerful

      thats why you have training.and not the kind that convinces you you’re on a deniable black ops mission in Falujah at 4am infiltrating Al Qaeda when actually it’s Just Some Dude.

      That is a reason why it is a systemic problem - because crowd panic and situative anticipation is not trained enough.

      There is a reason police training in basically all industrial nations takes multiple years. One would expect the US with a dangerous environment to even take longer… instead it is smaller than it is in most developing nations.
