Another shot by the Police (Roxboro, NC)... Good, bad? More riots?

You don't teach someone the right way to do something by showing a bunch of examples of the wrong way.

What would have been a more appropriate response by police in this video?

2 things: I never even mentioned the response in this video.

And you absolutly show the wrong way to do things in an effort to change things for the better. "Learning from mistakes?" We don't show people the effects of sober driving to demonstrate why drunk driving is bad.

I think you've got that backwards.

They tend to get trigger happy when they are outnumbered and are afraid of losing control of the situation.

I think they get trigger happy in both situations. And why not? They won't be held accountable.

Learning from your mistakes is not the same thing as receiving proper training. It's an experience that helps you get better at your job over time. It's not enough by itself though. An individual needs to know not only what they did wrong, but what could have been done instead. That was my point. So Iask again, what would have been a more appropriate proportional response in this case?

Get to the choppa!

Right.

Cops always send proportionally appropriate responses.

How do you know what will happen? Man with a gun call tends to get the attention of cops and many come.

LOS ANGELES — Prosecutors are declining to criminally charge eight Los Angeles police officers who injured two innocent women after mistakenly riddling their pickup truck with more than 100 b…

When one of the women threw a newspaper onto the pavement in the early-morning hours, an officer believing the sound was a gunshot opened fire. Officers unable to see clearly into the truck sprayed it with 103 rounds, and hit seven nearby homes and nine other vehicles with gunshots and shotgun pellets.

Appears he had a slung long gun. All i see is police showing up threatening a black man at gun point for exercising his 2A rights. He scared for his life and tried to defend himself to the immediate threat. As a patriot this is an outrage.

playing devils advocate ... could have went sideways or ended after a 4hr stand off the world will never know.
