I've seen guys otherwise calm and collected lose it when they are chasing someone. We try to teach officers to recognize they are in a moment, take a deep breath and analyze it. |
If there is an imminent threat to an officer, he doesn't have to wait to see a gun. |
Most people don't have a clue to understand how much force is necessary to stop resistance. It's hard to put handcuffs on someone who doesn't want to be cuffed. |
One of the key points to me is the lack of communication (among these departments). I don't understand why you don't have that. And why did the officers leave their point of cover? That completely violates standard police doctrine. |
That is a pretty sad caper. |
