[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Fact: if the person isn’t brandishing a gun or knife, they simply are not a threat—particularly when confronted by multiple police officers. Therefore, there is no need to throw punches, hit, or otherwise use violence to subdue.

I know some police officers get scared and overreact. But they must be held accountable.

Suggestion: the military is trained to deescalate, and they are also trained to be courageous. There are news accounts where police are former military and they handled the precarious situation flawlessly precisely because of their courage and military training. Let’s see if there are lessons to be learned. [/quote]

This is my BIL. He is a former marine now police officer. Also has a college degree. He is calm under pressure and can handle stressful situations remarkably well. He is advancing quickly in his department. A few of his fellow academy graduates have been let go for various reasons, namely, not doing well under pressure, reacting impulsively, etc. They are all under a lot of scrutiny for at least the first year post-graduation.
