I’m just saying I’ve had the shit beat out of me a few times, and based on my experience ain’t no way I’m gonna analyze somebody’s arm angle, stance, gait, wind speed, and other atmospheric conditions like I’m some fucking shonen anime fighting savant in 4 seconds.
Hell I don’t think I could’ve gotten off a shot in 4 seconds, I’d be laid out by this kid and he’d be wailing on me.
Maybe you’ve had amazing training on this front and could make such a calculus, but most people don’t, and cops aren’t much better trained than regular people.
14 weeks in Georgia, tender care of the Army. But forgive me for thinking the police should at least be able to do better than the Army whose default win mode is achieve the objective without committing a war crime.
And it’s easy to get a draw and shoot down to about 1 second. But they really should have had weapons up going in, together. They knew it was a call about an aggressive minor. They could have easily had one guy trying less than legal with guy 2 ready to shoot.
The lack of training to use deadly force isn’t an excuse. It’s a reason to disarm normal patrol officers.
