Do you have some sort of magic that will make this obviously superior path a reality?
...'cause otherwise, I think we still need to think of ways to try to avoid shooting people unless it is absolutely necessary.
Home training?

I sincerely hope his LEO protection just ended. Why would any LEO, protect this man? (There are limits to professional duty)
What "LEO protection" are you talking about? You mean, not rushing to judgement? Was the use of force "Objectively reasonable"? That is the standard by which our UoF is judged since 1989. I would venture to guess few non-LEO even know what "objectively reasonable" means. I provided a nice summary of the SCOTUS ruling that all UoF is judged by. https://www.fletc.gov/sites/default/files/PartIGrahamvConnor.pdf
Because the video alone cannot answer the questions required to examine the legality of this UoF, most officers would wait until more facts are known. The internet legal beagles will pass enough judgement for all of us.
A friend of mine works for Kenosha County SO. The officer isn't dead.
Notice how the pandering Gov'nor and his wife Kathy did'nt join with family, friends and neighbors of the Officer that got his head bashed in with a brick in hoping earnestly that he will not succumb to his injuries. He might as well just flat out invite everyone to come and torch Kenosha and tell them "We stand with you"It's hard to hear, but were the LEOs shouting "Drop the knife"?
The WI governor has released a statement:
Need a lot more facts to conclude what prompted the escalation to a discharged firearm.
Optics support additional confirmation that police reform is mandatory.
Personally, it certainly looks like the cop is the worst type of coward....but I'll await more facts on the runup to the shoot.
Yeah. It looks like the black guy may have gone quickly for a handgun. The cops actions might be totally justified. If there isn't a handgun there, however......
The optics aren't good.
It doesn't really matter if there was a weapon or not, the question that should be asked is what prevented the individual from stopping and following orders?

You know how many bad guys dont follow simple orders and then start shooting.....
Go watch some vids on Youtube.....doughnut operator channel.
The thugs are damn quick on the trigger.
Excellent post! anytime someone bets on a plinker getting shootered for simply disagreeing with the majority, it's a great post!
