For mags and ammo commonality the only factually correct answer is G19 and G26. 12lb trigger is ridiculous, though.

Have fun enforcing lots of BS laws though. Just remember "I was just following orders" didn't work for the Nazis, and it won't work for you after The Happening.

American LEO in general are shit-tier. Discuss.

>>28509589
Can we get an elaboration on that, or is this just "They have guns, Europeons don't, Europeons are better" thing? Cities like NYC, Jersey City, Newark Boston and others have pretty good police, and especially good SWAT/ESU/SOG teams.

>>28509621

NYPD has a really bad track record of missing people they are shooting at and instead hitting or killing innocent people. NYPD mostly enforces drug laws which we all know are wrong.

Having grown up and lived my entire life in North Jersey, I can adamantly say that while I disagree with the prohibition of Marijuana, I do firmly believe that anyone dealing heroin needs to be put away for life. It's absolutely fucking horrible.

>Training is too short
>Shitty attitude
>Way too trigger happy
>Killshots when disabling ones are viable without any actual risk to the officer
>Poor marksmanship

In general the occupation of a police officer is supposed to be a service one, but it really doesn't seem like that in the US.

Naturally I understand the difference with all the nigger gangbangers in the US and the far greater danger to officers, but exactly because of that their training should be superior, but it isn't.

>>28509672
I just hate how anybody that doesn't immediately comply or has a weapon usually ends up getting shot.

Like when a tweaker doesn't drop the knife they light him up. Wtf happened to your tazer, mace, or baton.

Guns are a different story of course. But I don't believe it's fair that a few months of training means you can go around putting guns in people's faces but if someone pulls a gun on a cop they'd get shot.

It should be stricter ROE's. For example: police can't fire till fired upon. It's their fucking job to put themselves in danger and risk their lives. most have bullet proof vests too.

>>28509667

Yeah, you're right. Adults shouldn't be allowed to consume substances you dislike.

found a old reddit ama of a NYPD gonna post the bullet points of its OP here

>Every officer hired since the introduction of pistols in the NYPD back in the early nineties is NOT allowed to use a revolver as their service weapon. They must choose between a Glock 19, S&W 5946, or a Sig p226. All of these guns are in DAO variant and have NO external safety.

>Everyone who is allowed to carry a gun in the department (not everyone is) has to re-qualify once every six months (give or take, it's been as short as five and as long as nine sometimes).

>MOST NYPD officers fire their FIRST gun, ever in their entire lives, at the police academy, some as young as 21 to as old as 35 shooting for their very first time, and on a DAO pistol.

>The qualifications are HORRIBLE mad get dumbed down every year.

>The NYPD offers once a month training for members to use, on their own time. However, all that is done during these sessions are the same basic dumbed down qualification exercises. You will only receive real help if you outright fail. Missed 12 out of fifty @ 7 yards? GOOD ENOUGH!

>Our tactical training is a joke and maybe ten people in a department of 34K have had Active Shooter training (I'm not exaggerating).

>Some of our members NEVER take their service weapons out of their gun belts, and never carry ANYTHING off duty. I've seen people with 3 years on have brown rusted rear sights. Some never clean their weapons unless forced to by the firearms unit.

>The NYPD has been tight fisted with ammo for the longest time. Take your one box and be happy.

I've been thinking of joining the FBI, criminal investigations. I like the idea of being an investigator/detective, but traveling around the country, maybe out of the country. But all of my teachers (ex-LEO) say that the FBI are a) lawyers with guns, and b) a bunch of pricks who just do what they want and shit on local law enforcement.
So I'm curious as to what our /k/ops think of the FBI, and any experiences they've had working with them.

>DAO handguns

WHY

WHYYY

>>28510238
Because the gov in nyc is so shitty it barely trusts its own police with guns

Derisiveness aside, presumably its to minimize nds or 'accidental' shootings

>>28510223
Funny because I'm in law school and they basically tell us that "haha yeah fucking right Mr. FBI, good luck getting that job if you're not an ex-special forces ultra high speed operator with 3 Ph.Ds and fluent in 15 languages."

Shoot first or die first!

>>28510223
OP here, I was a CJ student, I've been involved in public service (EMS), work with police daily, and a lot of my family is public service (Mostly police).

The FBI pisses off all municipal PDs, especially in the big cities, because the FBI often has the upper-middle level drug dealers as "informants" and completely cockblocks prosecution of crimes that the PDs have legitimately busted them on. They also tend to overstep their jurisdictions but because they're federal, they get away with it (Feds can threaten death penalty, NYC DA's cannot). The job is a pretty sweet deal, all things considered, but if you have a healthy respect for city/state independence from the feds, you're gonna hate the job fast.

>>28510238
>>28510260
Reduces risk of accidental shootings and NDs, there's no safety on department issued guns.

>>28510312
That's...Weird that they tell you that. The FBI -loves- lawyers, it's easier to teach a lawyer to be a cop than teaching a cop to be a lawyer.

Additionally, if you join any federal agency, they have to pay to move you and your family, and it costs a lot to do that, if you live in a City or within whatever arbitrary distance they set to a City, they'll probably never move you. Too expensive, and no real gain. Especially if you're a fresh agent. You will have to go to Quantico to train though.

Met a lot of FBI, DEA, DOJ, DHS, etc etc guys through my school's CJ program.

>>28509672
There isn't a single American LEA that teaches "disabling shots". We teach the continuum of force. If a situation calls for lethal force, you fucking use lethal force. Disabling shots are a load of bullshit.

>>28509760
I need to ask, do you live in America?

Additionally, to your tweaker with a knife comment. I believe it's within 7 yards, or 21 feet..If a Police Officer were to have to draw his gun, aim and fire, the tweaker with the knife would have covered 21 feet in that time and been able to stab him. That's why. If you draw your taser and the dude is too whacked out on Meth to be effected by it, by the time you dropped/put your taser away and went for your pistol you'd be dead. Same with baton. Knife>Baton, you never go -lower- than what the suspect has, you attempt to go with equal force. A knife is lethal force, so you go to a gun.

Simplest solution, don't fucking attack police officers, it's so simple it hurts.

See, I'm in ADJ, and I'd hate to be a lawyer. There's too much sitting around and lying to people. I want just want to investigate violent crime and help to upkeep justice in our country (that sounds really faggy, but it's important to me). So the FBI, as it is advertised by the government, sounds perfect. But from what I've been hearing, it's completely different from what I thought.

>>28509396
Jesus christ, go easy on the HDR sliders there boy

>>28509621
Vast majority of European police are, in fact, armed.
Brits are an exception to this.

>>28510528
Consider US Marshals if you want to work at a federal level and deal with violent crimes. The FBI largely either delegates municipal departments, undermines investigations, or handles monetary crimes. They've become a sort of political police sometime in the last 10 years, which has reduced them to extreme levels of "Nobody does what they say".

>>28510502
Because liberals think that all white police officers are racists who exist only to target "unarmed black teens", and the /k/-/pol/ relationship has led to most people thinking the police are filled with statist, gungrabbing, innocent shooting neanderthals with no ties to their local community.

All of this is of course enabled by a media with an extremely anti-police view.

I'm not saying all cops are saints, or that there aren't policies that exist across the country that need to be looked at, but even the suburban "do nothing" cops do a lot more than people realize. Being in EMS has really let me see that.

>>28509621
Hardly any focus on de-escalation.
Paranoid nature (either due to America or training) means reaching for weapon happens way earlier than is necessary.
Investigations are performed internally rather than neutral 3rd party agency, no transparency = no accountability.
Fitness requirements are a joke. I see morbidly obese cops all the damn time.
Hardly any training on dealing with people with mental health issues or those under the influence. See "too eager to reach for weapons", above.

I could go on.

>>28509396
Did you get bullied in school by any chance?

>>28510528
Same here but I basically missed the boat and have no federal experience (as far as internships, etc.) so... I would rather be bored with a happy family then work for the FBI and have a stressed out, unhappy family. I'll make a little more money anyway so... I guess that helps a little.

But obviously if I cared about the money I wouldn't even ever think about joining the FBI.

>>28510578
European police is armed, but armed with pistols, not automatic rifles. Nor do they go around wearing body armor, riding in APC's.

>>28510411
Is it the FBI's protocol that indirectly fucks over PD's, or are FBI agents just haughty? I see no reason why FBI agents can't work with local, and if I were an agent, I'd want to work with sheriffs and police, since they know more about the area and the people.

My criminal investigations teacher (old sheriff) told me about a time when the FBI came over to our county to investigate drug crime at our local reservation, and were going to raid a private residence via a back road. Well on the route the FBI planned out, there's a cliff where the road that they were going to follow turns into a turnout. It's about a 10-15 foot drop, and the FBI were planning on speeding over it unknowingly. So my teacher speaks up, says, "Can I be excused from this case? I don't want to die." He had to guard the road that night, and has had a cold shoulder over FBI ever since.

>>28510646
> implying agents get a decent salary
> mfw

>>28510652
Yeah, that's because they're not the army and don't feel the need to play airsoft with live weapons like US cops do.

>>28510614
Because de-escalation puts the officer and the general public at risk. There is actually a ton of focus on de-escalation, but it almost never works. People who are violent generally are committed to it, and view the police as an oppressive authority that wants to imprison them.

Paranoid nature I would chalk up to a sizable subculture within America (Gang culture) that glorifies violence against the police and actively encourages it.

Plenty of large departments have third party investigations, but internal affairs is a far better alternative for smaller matters, and for handling police-involved shootings. It's very expensive to have a 3rd party agency investigate, there is no unlimited budget for law enforcement.

Fitness requirements are done at the entry level, and most departments do not retest. Budget concerns are one reason, attrition is another. Additionally, you spend 8 or 12 hours a day sitting in a patrol car and tell me how great of shape you're in.

Mental health has only become a major issue in the last decade or so, of course training hasn't caught up. There is an active effort to do so but it takes time. Research has to be done, studies published, and states have to decide on protocols to set.

>>28510620
Nope, can't say that I was.

>>28510666
You clearly didn't read what I said. Read it again.

>>28510646
I don't have family, and I don't really care about money either. I just feel it's what I'm best at, and that it'll take me places.
That's sweet to choose family, though, if not a little foolish, if you don't mind my saying so.

>>28510608
That's good information, thank you. Have you had experience with the Marshals?

>>28510657
Of the FBI agents I've interacted with, most are well grounded individuals that want to prevent crime and bring criminals in. But there's a huge disconnect between FBI agents and your patrol officer, which leads to tension between the two.

Picture Law Enforcement as a franchise retail store.

Your Federal Executive departments (DOJ, DHS) are corporate.

Your federal law enforcement agencies (FBI, Marshals, DEA, etc) are your franchise owners

Your municipal departments are the store workers.

The FBI is the owner that stops in maybe once a week to pick up the money earned, only knows a handful of the employees, and has a "better than you" attitude, despite being a pretty awful manager and relying heavily on his floor managers to keep everything working.

>>28509396

But in the end, if I can have fun, shoot guns, and go camping and hiking with my boys and drink Monsters and watch scary movies then I will be happy enough.

I'm taking Chicago PD exam in April and DC Metro in May. Good luck OP, nice to see NYPD has a list, CPD seems to be going the way of making all new recruits take a Glock 17/19 for duty and thats it. Days of .45 SIGS are gone. Amazed NYPD has their shit together enough to call you back in a few months.

We shouldn't allow guns to be sold then either, because a kid might buy one from someone and do something bad.

NYPD is a typical group of organized criminals and state sponsored terrorists in many circumstances. I know careers are pushed really hard these days, but there is a Line that most people with morals and principles draw in the sand and working for such an organization would be crossing said line. Enforcing wonton stop and frisks, enforcing the pistol permit racket known as the Sullivan act of 1911 which caused a 20% increase in crime when it was enacted. The base line fact that the citizens of NYC were saving millions of dollars a day when the NYPD refused to arrest for small crimes for two week, they stopped in protest of the two cops that were shot by a random guy just goes to show they are a waste of space. They are a detriment and a liability to people at best and organized criminals and domestic terrorists at worst.

Effective at nothing more than eliminating the protection against unreasonable searches and seizures. As a former deputy I even realize most laws that prohibit things like weapons and drugs are still victimless crimes. arguing stop and frisks effectiveness is only in the use of it to snare people on victimless crimes. We as Americans have a very well defined history path as far as standards of law and liberties go. Just because one small portion of country who are subject to dangerous and immoral standards tolerate them, doesn't change the fact that its fucked up and serves no purpose other than usurping the peoples rights to be secure in their persons and effects from unreasonable searches and seizures as codified by our constitution and bill of rights.

Alcohol was manufactured domestically. Please point me to the nearest opium farm on US soil? Or Cocaine Lab?
Hard drugs like Coke and Heroin need to be cracked down on. IMO 3 strikes your out type of thing. I live in an area where drug use is rampant. We just had 6 junkies kidnap an 80 year old and rob him them murder him and stuff him in a storage tote. All for drug money. Meth manufacture can be cracked down on as well if you crack down on the chemicals to make it. Foreign drugs can't compare to alcohol. Drugs need to be smuggled into ports. Crack down on smuggling and use and they can make all they want but it wont get anywhere if there isn't a market. BUILD WALL and the Cartel will have to use tunnels, which can also be stopped. Then they will have to use cars, which is becoming more difficult.

Most people in new York city do not own pistols as a result of laws requiring a permit to own, a law enforced by NYPD. Most people if given a chance to carry a firearm for self defense and legalizing the majority of drugs would eliminate the black market that exists because of prohibition laws, think about the eighteenth amendment and the al Capone era. If these laws were repealed and people we able to actively defend themselves, you soon find that departments like the NYPD would collapse or be downsized and downgraded so much, that they might actually find a legitimate use besides revenue generation or organized crime and terrorism.

>>28513501
I use the term terrorism sparingly because not all indeviduals are terrorists but there are plenty of individuals in there that would meet the criteria pretty well.

Yeah, like I said crackdown on smuggling and dealing. It was the fucking 20's, we barely had border security back then. You are using a stupid fucking argument.Probably a fucking tweaker yourself. Fuckers need to be dragged out back and shot. If you make punishments so stiff that it makes people actually think twice about doing it, they will maybe consider not doing it, especially dealing. Mandatory life sentence for heroin dealing and I bet you would see a decline in dealers. And cracking down on smuggling through ports is a lot easier than cracking down on manufacturing in other countries. The cartels have to move product through ports. You are comparing apples to oranges here.

Our borders suck we have next to nothing in them. In arizona militias have to protect them. The Border patrol says the borders are in dire need of help and they need funds to get the right people on the front lines where the war on human trafficking, drug trafficking, arms trafficking, etc. is occurring.

>>28513542
Dealers if such drugs would be more deterred from citizens who could carry firearms and weapons for self defense without any license or permit, cops are mostly noun by law and procedure but a everyday person with a properly safeguarded right to defend themselves wherever they are is gonna have an invested care in the place where he lives, its common in small towns and is more then capable of happening in big cities if rights and liberties are respect, protected and most of all acknowledged.

>because increased border security has been working on the drug war right?
It actually does dumbfuck. The cartel has had to resort to different methods because it's getting damn near impossible to smuggle drugs by car. Once you build a wall then you wont have to worry about mules. And tunnels can be detected. You can't fix a problem without spending money. The drug war has been ineffective. but partly because our borders are fucking open, literally. In some spots its just 3 strands of barbed wire on a wooden post. Mules can easily get through. If there was no land access aside from driving, the amount the cartel smuggles would drop dramatically. You know how we stopped them from smuggling drugs in car tires and other compartments? By spending more money. Fixing shit aint free. I'd rather pay for increased border security to stop smuggling than taxes to support druggies who turn career criminals.

Portugal is a country of 1 million and they are decriminalized and dealing them is still illegal. In addition the gov has a program set up where tax payers dollars are used to help anyone who says they are "addicts" or get found with drugs. This program that tax payers are forced to pay for allows addicts to go to school free, hobbies free, housing free, etc.

Firearms are lethal weapons, but shots to extremities, when applicable, are still part of the force continuum - sure you might not be able to save a bloke who's been shot in the leg, but he's more likely to survive than someone who's shot in centre mass.

Sure, people like me support you, we know you are a necessary evil, and we know that you do a job that needs to be done. But we will not associate with you, we will not invite you over, and we will not let our kids play with yours. We will be careful around you, because we distrust you. Even perfectly law-abiding middle class yuppies will avoid you.

You will notice this and resent it. After all, you are doing a shitty job. You will have people spit on you all day and when you go home they will quietly snub you. You will become bitter and wonder why noone likes you. You won't ever figure it out, and you will get more and more bitter, and eventually you may even turn into the statist asshole we all hate here on /k/.

Effectively stopping the threat, while reducing the chance of lethally wounding the suspect.

>>28514286
Ok, fine, then in that case I still disagree with you, but at least you're arguing from the point of view of someone who's picked up a handgun.

This is the point I'm trying to make:

>Studies by the Force Science Research Center reveal some of the practical problems with these positions. Lewinski explains some of the basics of human dynamics and anatomy and the relative risks of misses and hits:

>“Hands and arms can be the fastest-moving body parts. For example, an average suspect can move his hand and forearm across his body to a 90-degree angle in 12/100 of a second. He can move his hand from his hip to shoulder height in 18/100 of a second.

>“The average officer pulling the trigger as fast as he can on a Glock, one of the fastest- cycling semi-autos, requires 1/4 second to discharge each round.

>“There is no way an officer can react, track, shoot and reliably hit a threatening suspect’s forearm or a weapon in a suspect’s hand in the time spans involved.

>“Even if the suspect held his weapon arm steady for half a second or more, an accurate hit would be highly unlikely, and in police shootings the suspect and his weapon are seldom stationary. Plus, the officer himself may be moving as he shoots.

>“The upper arms move more slowly than the lower arms and hands. But shooting at the upper arms, there’s a greater chance you’re going to hit the suspect’s brachial artery or center mass, areas with a high probability of fatality. So where does shooting only to wound come in when even areas considered by some to ‘safe’ from fatality risk could in fact carry the same level of risk as targeting center mass?

>“Legs tend initially to move slower than arms and to maintain more static positions. However, areas of the lower trunk and upper thigh are rich with vascularity. A suspect who’s hit there can bleed out in seconds if one of the major arteries is severed, so again shooting just to wound may not result in just wounding.

>>28514205

>>28514332

>Police officers and self-defense shooters all learn the same thing: you shoot to stop the threat. The best way to stop that threat is to put bullets in the largest possible part of the body (typically, the upper torso). If that fails to stop the threat, you then rely on your “failure drill” training and move to the head, and if that fails, the pelvis. You “work the problem” by moving your shots from the torso to the head and pelvis.

>>28514313
And increasing the chance of missing, or hitting unwanted targets. Decreasing the chances of neutralizing the target, and generally endangering other people including the officer. If you are in a situation where you need to shoot someone, you shouldn't need to worry about hitting their extremities, you should be worried about quickly stopping them. There are LL munitions for situations not needing lethal solutions and still don't consider extremities as targets.

>>28514368
>>28514353
>>28514332

The crux of it is this. If you're resorting to a handgun, you're facing lethal force with lethal force. If the deadly threat isn't there, you're not - or should not - be using a firearm, you should be using other options.

Now that you've resorted to deadly force, it should be applied quickly, and safely, to stop the threat to life - of you, of innocent bystanders - before the subject has the chance to take one of those lives.

Nobody in LE shoots to kill. They shoot to stop. They shoot to stop someone else killing.

Cite me some cases of lethal force being used less than lethally - you're implying the few times in Europe this has happened; I for one can think of an occasion an FBI HRT sniper actually took a weapon shot. But please, cite me some examples and let's work through them and discuss why it was or wasn't a good idea.

if you get the sig you'd probably be the only one. When I went to NYC I saw a lot of cops and naturally checked out their guns. Every single one of them had a glock 19, some were beaten to shit also
Whatever you get, make sure you really practice with it and buy plenty of your own ammo to train with. I shot a modded 12lb trigger at my range once for the hell of it (they literal just had it as a "see what the NYC cops have" special) and it was awful. I don't defned them for messing up most of their shootings but I can easily see why it happens

>Portugal is a country of 1 million
Portugal is a country of 1*0* million, and even though they might spend alot in rehabilitation, the usa sure spends far more(percentually speaking) on their war on drugs and the titanic prison population. Rehabilitation is helping people get their shit together, when you live in a society it means caring even for those who are wak and stupid, its why primates live togethr stronger as a union even when they have weak links. If you dont like it, go Innawoods and become a hermit. They also have a very capable public health system and goverment that is quite more effective than the usa, or any of the other countries you mentioned

>>28514332

Now we're getting somewhere.

I feel like you're arguing a very specific scenario. Sure enough, when the target is moving or the shot is far too likely to do no good, you either shouldn't shoot at all or shoot centre mass.

That's not to say that there will never be chances to hit that leg or arm. Moreover, it shouldn't just be limited to handguns - shoulder fired weapons such as the all-popular mp5 would be a lot more suited to the task.

>>“Legs tend initially to move slower than arms and to maintain more static positions. However, areas of the lower trunk and upper thigh are rich with vascularity. A suspect who’s hit there can bleed out in seconds if one of the major arteries is severed, so again shooting just to wound may not result in just wounding.

This is a point I conceded in the initial post.
>sure you might not be able to save a bloke who's been shot in the leg, but he's more likely to survive than someone who's shot in centre mass.

The leg can be TQ'd, a punctured heart cannot.

>>28514421

That's all fair and well, but consider that:
>a taser has an extremely short range, and both of the darts must hit the target
>LTL ammunition may not be available at the time

While most police cars have a support weapon in the trunk.

>And increasing the chance of missing, or hitting unwanted targets
Which need to be taken into consideration when taking the shot. That's a training issue.

Basically the FBI looks for what they want when they need it and will hire you if they want it. They don't have set rules, Ive heard of people being 30 year old desk jockys getting a job over 21 year old marines. Its all about what they want and being ok with them moving you wherever they want

>>28514477
Yeah, just keep training until they can hit a moving arm or leg. You're living in a fucking fantasy world if you think that it's feasible to train officers to shoot like that in situations that might possibly require something like that. Hell, I'd like to see CAG pull off shots like that.

>>28510652
my fucking ass
I went to germane on vacation 7 years ago and saw cops with SMGs on the highway. A tour guide said theyre specially equipped in case they deal with arms/human traffickers who frequent the roadways

>>28514477
>I feel like you're arguing a very specific scenario

Really, the opposite is true - most times you're employing a firearm, the target is not stationary. The only time it would be PLAUSIBLE, not advisable, to shoot for a leg or arm, would be if it was not moving and not going to move - the times that's going to happen are very rare.

Most of the time, your target is moving, your target is pissed off, your target is flailing, your target is not going to present his arms for you to carefully take aim at and squeeze a round like an IPSC A-zone.

One other thing. How many rounds did it take, and how regularly were/are you shooting, when you could hit a say, 4" wide target first shot every shot?

How many rounds would that cost multiplied by every single officer on a force, multiplied by every single range visit, added to the cost of having extra officers to still be able to fill shifts while your force is now going to the range 3-5 times a week.

Not feasible for a large force, not feasible for a small force, and not sensible anyway.

>>28514527
>Yeah, just keep training until they can hit a moving arm or leg.

Why moving? I've been telling you from the beginning, if the shot is not feasible then it shouldn't be used. The exact same applies to warning shots, if there is no safe location where to put the round, you don't do it.

And they are a reality in most of the world. If you have a suspect whose activity needs to be stopped and an opportunity to shoot a leg instead of the torso, of course you should prioritise the less lethal area.

This is not rocket surgery, people. Simple concept.

I grew up surrounded by LEOs from east-west bumfuck towns all the way up to high-up feds through either family or personal connections and working in the field or related fields.

NYPD is somewhat of a special case, almost more so than other major cities. The criminal elements, their families, and their associates are looking for every opportunity to make the NYPD look bad pretty much because you are THE NYPD. They will escalate situations and test you, pretty much to see how much they can get away with. Especially once they find out you are the new guy, and believe me they will find out sooner than you can imagine.

Heres the issue: things arent like the old days. Meaningful walk and talk beats dont exist. Building rapport is a lot harder given the citizen/police climate. No longer will the citizens you serve (key mentality) give you tips or heads up anywhere near as much as they would in the past if you did things right. Things are more difficult. And its not strictly LEOs fault, some bad apples make it worse, but so does the entitled culture of todays generations.

You've probably read all about the great parts of the job and consider yourself a good candidate so i wont get into those details, but i will say one final thing.

I forget the anecdote and the exact percentages bit it goes something like this:
20% of LEOs will do the wrong thing whenever they have the opportunity, no matter who is around or who they are with. Whether it be due to reacting subjectively, having a short fuse, racial bias, etc.
20% will do the right thing no matter what. Period.
that remaining 60% will react to situations depending on which 20% they are working with that day

Be the 20% that has a strong moral compass.

Yes, actually. The vast majority of annual rounds expended by my country's police force have been warning shots. Presumably that's not counting situations where they've had to shoot a lock to break into a building.

Wherever you come from, stay there and keep your assfuck retarded ideas there too. If a gun is being used, it's going to be used to neutralize the most efficiently and with the least amount of tacked on danger or possibilities of harming unintended targets.

Like how uniformed officer carried model 10s or 19s ( glock 17s or 19s) and detectives carried j frames (glock 26 and 27)

that's just the problem, American cops put way too much emphases on the door kicking, shooting part of the job, while almost completely ignoring the community interaction/helping people part (Aka 98% of the job).

And no, waiting behind a bush with a radar gun doesn't count as community interaction

>>28514631

Honest question: in your country, when is discharging a firearm lawful?

Here we require that the officer/citizen (broad brush -- some minor differences from state to state, policy to policy) face a 1) reasonable fear of 2) imminent 3) death or great bodily harm towards themselves or a third party before lethal force is used. If any one of those elements is missing it doesn't justify the force used, and we have to be able to articulate what it was that justified shooting.

For us, discharging a firearm is ALWAYS considered lethal force because it has the capability to kill or seriously injure. You can also use it to stop a forcible felony, but nearly all of those would involve the reasonable fear of imminent death/great bodily harm.

Is there a lower threshold for a warning shot in your country? What about a wounding shot?

>>28514701

And others..From a Criminal Justice stance allow me to explain just what Stop QUESTION and Frisk is.

When someone is acting suspiciously, a police officer has a legitimate reason to stop them. Suspiciously could be walking as if they have a gun, consistently reaching for where a gun might reasonably be, constantly looking at police officers and moving quickly, jumping a turnstyle, pacing back and forth in front of a building, etc etc.

Once stopped, a police officer can then QUESTION the suspect (This part gets left out by "activists" because it doesn't fit their shitty agendas of "Police harass muh youth"). The questioning consists of "What are you doing?" "Do you have any drugs/weapons?" and so on. This questioning cannot exceed a REASONABLE time, generally no less than 10 minutes, and no more than 45 is the rule.

Then, if the police officer has a reason to suspect that the individual might have a gun or drugs, they can perform a patdown of the outermost layer of clothes. They can't reach into pockets, they can't strip you in the street, nothing like that.

Stop, Question and Frisk reduced gun violence in NYC drastically, and since it was stopped/reduced under De Blasio the crime rate has increased significantly. Now, in regards to "But it was only ever used on blacks and hispanics", well, what demographic of people generally lives in high crime areas, particularly in NYC? Of course that's going to be the majority of your stops. That's fucking basic math.

It did have issues, it was used in excess, and often without due cause, but 10% of Stop and Frisks led to an arrest, not even counting the substantial effect it had on crime by merely existing.

I work with a former NYPD guy, am friends with two more, and a fourth is the son of a friend. All of them went with the Sig, one of the friends even moved to it from the Glock.

They are, interestingly, all gun guys.

>I shot a modded 12lb trigger at my range once for the hell of it (they literal just had it as a "see what the NYC cops have" special) and it was awful.
Funny story: when I first shot said buddy's Glock, I put it up, tried to pull the trigger, tried again, two or three more times, and then handed it back and told him it was broken.

It wasn't, it was just that unnecessarily heavy.

>>28514725
>Honest question: in your country, when is discharging a firearm lawful?

We don't have strict guidelines for what's lawful and what isn't - anything that is justifiable goes.

>Here we require that the officer/citizen (broad brush -- some minor differences from state to state, policy to policy) face a 1) reasonable fear of 2) imminent 3) death or great bodily harm towards themselves or a third party before lethal force is used. If any one of those elements is missing it doesn't justify the force used, and we have to be able to articulate what it was that justified shooting.

I completely understand that, but this is not legality what we're arguing about, it's the feasibility of the technique itself. I'm perfectly aware that the US laws prevent warning shots and shots to extremities, both of which are part of the force continuum over here on the other side of the puddle.

The rough force continuum is as follows:

>verbal commands
>physical force
>restraining; cuffs, zipties etc,
>spray (OC or CS; or a combination thereof)
>baton
>taser
>dog
>warning shot
>shot to extremity
>shot to centre mass

However, that is not some ladder- type of a situation where you HAVE to use spray before you can shoot - you choose the tool that gets the job done most efficiently and safely, all factors concerned. And yes, the safety is a suspect is a concern, as the job of the police is to apprehend the suspect so that he may be tried in court. They aren't executioners.

>>28514736
That's interesting, but at the end of the day you and I have two vastly different opinions and I'm doubtful we're going to bridge the gap.

There are many cultural, social, logistical and practical reasons the US police at large cannot and should not adopt a shoot-to-wound or firearms in less-lethal situations policy, but I'll leave you with this one, which is probably the biggest:

Law enforcement gets sued. Cops get sued. FBI agents get sued. DAs get sued. PDs and Sheriff departments get sued. This happens when shit goes wrong, when shit goes right, when hostages are rescued, when dindus do nuffin, when cats are in trees, when NYPD accidentally perforates a crowd of bystanders behind the guy shooting at them.

Most are frivolous, most, go nowhere, but at the end of the day, if deliberately wounding became an option, it would result in yet more officer-involved shootings, not less, and would result in a fuck tin of more lawsuits against cops.

That, more than anything, is why it's a moot point.

I respectfully disagree with your position but I understand why you hold it. I continue to hold mine.

OK, so when is, say, a shot to the leg justifiable when a shot to the torso would not be?

>However, that is not some ladder- type of a situation where you HAVE to use spray before you can shoot - you choose the tool that gets the job done most efficiently and safely, all factors concerned.

The goal is the same in the United States. Despite the media narrative, the overwhelming majority of people shot by the police in the US are armed and fighting. For every Walter Scott there are literally dozens of people shot for presenting armed resistance.

>They aren't executioners.

>>28514898
Could you sound any more condescending and pretentious? Go away.

>>28514948
>OK, so when is, say, a shot to the leg justifiable when a shot to the torso would not be?

Like I said, there are no strict definitions. The police will try to do their best so that the suspect is caught alive; if a shot to the leg is possible without undue risk of miss/overpenetration/ricochet/whatever, and other methods of l2l are not applicable or available, it should be prioritised over a shot to the torso.

>The goal is the same in the United States. Despite the media narrative, the overwhelming majority of people shot by the police in the US are armed and fighting. For every Walter Scott there are literally dozens of people shot for presenting armed resistance.

That's very unfortunate, but not very relevant. There are extremely safe neighbourhoods in the US, but warning shots/shots to extremities are still equally illegal.

>And ours are?

Well, judging by their tendency to magdump the suspect... kinda.

Also, to bring up another point: see this video:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BVnwkDbeARw

Going by strict definition, wouldn't that officer be breaking the law in the US by shooting the pistol out of the hand of the suspect, ie using a lethal weapon in a non-lethal way?

>>28515009

I try.

>>28514853
>>28514898
OP here, I can elaborate on why US Police do not shoot to wound, and why we will never change to it.

Our police use what's called the Use of Force Continuum (Continuum of Force it's also referred to). In fact, even civilians are held to it to some degree when they are involved in a self defense situation.

Stage 1 is simply the Officer arriving. Officer arrives, suspect complies? Awesome, no force required.

Stage 2 is verbal commands. Officer first attempts to address the suspect verbally, commanding them what to do "Freeze, put your hands up, get on the ground", etc etc. Suspect complies? Awesome.

Stage 3 is physical contact to restrain a suspect. Arm locks and the like.

Stage 4 is likely to cause physical harm. Punching, kicking, spraying with pepper spray.

Stage 5 is intermediate weapons. This is tasers, pepper spray, baton, beanbag rounds, and also unleashing the dogs.

Stage 6 is deadly force.

The officer is supposed to escalate up gradually, but to do so in a way that does not put him/herself at more risk of harm, or the general public at more risk. So as I said earlier, a suspect with a knife, if they're within 21 feet, guns should be drawn. A knife is deadly force, it needs to be matched with deadly force. That doesn't mean draw and shoot immediately, but it means draw and be prepared to shoot if the suspect lunges or makes a move for someone. Now if they draw a knife and they have a potential victim very close, you may want to shoot.

Suspects are also broken into 4 categories

Passive Compliant - Complies with verbal commands, nonaggressive
Passive Resistor - Does not comply with verbal commands but does not resist being forced by the Officer
Active Resistor - Resists attempt to be controlled by the officer, but does not intend to inflict harm to the officer or anyone else
Active Aggressor - Resists attempts to be controlled and DOES show intent to harm the officer or others.

>>28509396
Enjoy your 12 pound trigger, oinker.

>>28515028
Can you cite the law for any state or federal agencies that make it illegal to use their weapon non-lethally? Your inability to differentiate the idea of using their weapon everytime they unholster it and actually using their weapon to neutralize a threat probably has to do with your poor grasp on the English language.

>>28514935
Stop, question and frisk is entirely constitutional.

Hercules teams are not at all intimidating unless you're a criminal, if you've ever interacted with NYPD you'd know that. They're there to respond to potential terrorist/active shooter scenarios, and to deter them. Most of the officers deployed on Hercules teams are pretty fucking chill, it's literally just overtime for the ESU guys.

The residents of NYC continue to overwhelmingly elect democrats to council and mayor, and support these laws. Most officers disagree with infringing on rights and use Officer's discretion often.

So your police don't even have policy guidelines or a history of litigation to base their decisionmaking off of? And you can't come up with an example beyond vague platitudes. That sounds delightful.

>Brings up safe neighborhoods
>Bitches about relevance

It's actually quite relevant, considering you just referred to each of the 800,000+ LEOs in our country as executioners. Your misunderstanding of their goal -- probably stemming from reading drivel like Der Spiegel -- doesn't make it so.

>Going by strict definition, wouldn't that officer be breaking the law in the US by shooting the pistol out of the hand of the suspect, ie using a lethal weapon in a non-lethal way?

No. There was a gun present, and you could argue for a defense of a third party-type scenario. Lethal force doesn't have to kill, but it cannot be deployed unless it is being used by the other side. You're confusing "bad idea when somebody is trying to kill you or somebody else" with "illegal."

>>28515081
>Stop, question and frisk is entirely constitutional.
No it isn't. It was already ruled unconstitutional in the courts, but the ruling was overturned by a corrupt judge who claimed the first was "biased" but did not elaborate on what this meant.

>Hercules teams are not at all intimidating unless you're a criminal
This is exactly the kind of attitude I would expect from a wannabe NYPD officer. Regular citizens do not feel all that comfortable with kitted out dudes walking around on the street like they're in Baghdad.

> Most officers disagree with infringing on rights
If they did, then the laws would be totally unenforced. The city government has no power if the police do not wish to enforce their ridiculous legislation.

>>28515047
>So as I said earlier, a suspect with a knife, if they're within 21 feet, guns should be drawn

This is about where you'd consider shooting the suspect in the leg over here if no other options of stopping the suspect are working or applicable.

You really wouldn't want to get close to a knife-wielding guy, so it might very well be the best option in the situation.

>>28515078

YOU are the ones who are arguing that the use of a firearm is always lethal force, not me.

>>28515164
No I am not, like I said you are employing an either or fallacy.

>guy pulls out a knife
>cop pulls out a gun, tells the dude to drop it

Oh hey look, one of a million plausible scenarios that are PRACTICAL and don't require firing your weapon. You're a fucking moron for advocating for the average cop to employ shooting to wound. The examples you've been using like that Dublin one is a fucking sniper shooting a guys weapon.

>>28515164
Wounding shots are illegal, even for LEO, and I agree with that highly.

>>28515108

>>28515146
The courts ruled by popular opinion, NOT constitutionality. If a suspect was searched and had their pockets emptied, we'd be having a different discussion. That is NOT what stop and frisk is.

I go into the City regularly, my family works there, I do odd jobs there, I have never once heard anyone, black, white, hispanic, asian, arab, etc. That was a law abiding citizen that disliked having the Hercules teams about. Most of them feel like I do about it. "The City has gotten hit once already, countless more attempts have been made, they're not doing anything, and honestly it's kind of cool to look at".

"Police get to decide which laws are enforced and which ones aren't". No, that's not how this works.

>The courts ruled by popular opinion, NOT constitutionality.
Incorrect.

>If a suspect was searched and had their pockets emptied, we'd be having a different discussion. That is NOT what stop and frisk is.
Right, you just empty their pockets if you suspect you've got a hold of something illegal. Totally different.

>"Police get to decide which laws are enforced and which ones aren't". No, that's not how this works.
Adultery is technically illegal in New York, but the law is unenforced. Enforcement decides everything.

>>28515281
It's still an opinion article written by an ex-cop who was shot in 1971 during the most corrupt era of policing imaginable. He holds an incredibly obvious grudge against the department, and I will yield that he is right to do so, and he goes about with an incredibly slanted view of looking at things, like when he says the "circumstances under which the African-American youth, Michael Brown, was shot remain unclear".

Politico is a left-leaning website with a history of bias. This is an opinion article, with no citations other than this guy's word. And look, I agree, the 70s in ANY department were fucking awful, especially NYPD. It was a corrupt shithole, everyone knows that. But he isn't exactly an unbiased source here.

>>28515334
Judges and prosecutors decide what isn't enforced, not the PD.

And with SQ&F you can't check pockets. You can ask them to empty their pockets, but they can choose not to comply. But if you're at the Frisk stage and they refuse to comply, odds are you have probably cause then. You also seem to believe that they just stop people and random and search them.

>>28515144
>So your police don't even have policy guidelines or a history of litigation to base their decisionmaking off of? And you can't come up with an example beyond vague platitudes.

Nope, not really. They're rather well educated individuals who are trusted with extra privileges, so they're expected to perform in a rational and justifiable manner.

>That sounds delightful.

Yeah, living here sure does have its perks.

>It's actually quite relevant, considering you just referred to each of the 800,000+ LEOs in our country as executioners. Your misunderstanding of their goal -- probably stemming from reading drivel like Der Spiegel -- doesn't make it so.

I'm going only by what I'm witnessing in the footage that's available on jewtube and the like. If my assumptions are wrong, then it's your job to point out how and why I'm mistaken.

If their goals are the same, and the legislation allows the use of warning/wounding shots, then your LEOs are daft for not using those options.

>No. There was a gun present, and you could argue for a defense of a third party-type scenario. Lethal force doesn't have to kill, but it cannot be deployed unless it is being used by the other side. You're confusing "bad idea when somebody is trying to kill you or somebody else" with "illegal."

You concede that sometimes it is possible to use a firearm in a less than lethal fashion, yet you are still being absolute regards to wounding shots. Why?

Consider the video I linked, and replace the suspect's gun with a knife. You still have a scenario where you can legally deploy and use a firearm, correct? Now tell me why the hell that sniper shouldn't place the shot in a location that's less likely to kill the suspect outright, because I sure as fuck don't understand why.

>>28515434
>Judges and prosecutors decide what isn't enforced, not the PD.
Right. The judge will go kick down doors and arrest people if the cops won't do it for him.

>You can ask them to empty their pockets, but they can choose not to comply. But if you're at the Frisk stage and they refuse to comply, odds are you have probably cause then.
Yes, this is where the typical "I smelled marijuana" or "He seemed to be on drugs" bullshit comes in.

>You also seem to believe that they just stop people and random and search them.
The essence of stop and frisk is that it gives the officers the ability to legally harass citizens and invent reasons to search them. Nobody would be okay with the cops pulling people over at random to "ask them a few questions", but for some reason idiots like you are fine with the police doing it to people on the street.

>>28515494
No, but if officer's stop arresting for crimes (By the way, which laws are they supposed to stop enforcing, and which one's still need to be enforced? And how are we deciding this?), and the crimes are still occurring, then that would be illegal on the Officer's part.

>>28509646
this. NYPD kills more innocent bystanders with stray fire than gangbangers do. i have yet to read of a NYPD officer actually hitting the guy he was shooting at without taking down at least 2 innocents

>>28515525
>then that would be illegal on the Officer's part.
So all NYPD officers are guilty of failing to enforce NY's adultery laws.

So, you want to now empower all police to decide which laws they want to enforce, and you see no way in which this could go wrong? And this is a complete copout of an answer.

Cite me laws that you feel the NYPD should not enforce, and tell me why.

Adultery is also a misdemeanor, and without putting cameras in bedrooms, entirely unenforceable. So stop citing bullshit laws that exist only because the litigation to withdraw them would take forever to get through a state assembly.

>>28510456
i think what he is failing to articulate is the fact that most LEOs are roided out ex-military types. they already have PTSD, a military killing mindset, and an abnormally short fuse due to steroid abuse. so they tend to skip all the available options to de-escalate (like falling back, calling for backup, having another officer bring a beanbag shotgun) and go straight for the 17rd magdump on a drunk hobo who is cursing them out with a glass liquor bottle

>>28515409
To be fair, the article was written in 2014, when the facts were still unclear.

I'm inclined to believe him about the NYPD not cleaning up their act in any significant way, especially what with Adrian Schoolcraft, Amadou Diallo and the results of the Mollen Commission.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mollen_Commission

>In December 1993, the New York Times reported that the "special mayoral panel asserted ... that the New York City Police Department had failed at every level to uproot corruption and had instead tolerated a culture that fostered misconduct and concealed lawlessness by police officers."[1]

In their own words again.

>Today's corruption is not the corruption of Knapp Commission days. Corruption then was largely a corruption of accommodation, of criminals and police officers giving and taking bribes, buying and selling protection. Corruption was, in its essence, consensual. Today's corruption is characterized by brutality, theft, abuse of authority and active police criminality.

>>28515639
Really? That's all entirely news to me. Did you know that most City PD's make an effort not to recruit former infantry/MPs for the sole reason of it's almost impossible to unteach "Shoot first, ask questions later" mentality that is drilled into them?

>So, you want to now empower all police to decide which laws they want to enforce, and you see no way in which this could go wrong?
I am not delusional enough to think that the police do not already have this power. I am not "giving" the police any power at all. I just realize that cops are entirely capable of selectivley ignoring laws that they do not wish to enforce.

As an example, I will provide you with this article. It's illegal in Seattle to smoke weed in public, but a single officer was responsible for issuing 80% of the tickets for this crime. Is this just because he was hyper vigilant, or is it because just about every other officer on the force had decided they wouldn't bother enforcing the law?

http://www.seattletimes.com/seattle-news/spd-investigates-cop-who-wrote-80-percent-of-pot-tickets/

>Cite me laws that you feel the NYPD should not enforce, and tell me why.
No, because this is a pointless distraction from the argument at hand. The fact of the matter is that the police wield the power to decide what goes and what does not. This is true no matter where you go on the planet. Law makers are nothing more than men in suits. They only have power when their enforcers cooperate with them.

>Adultery is also a misdemeanor, and without putting cameras in bedrooms, entirely unenforceable.
David Paterson admitted in a public statement that he had committed adultery. Surely this would be enough to warrant an arrest if he had admitted to violating a law that was currently being enforced? There's plenty of people who will blatantly admit to cheating in public forums.

The fact that there's an entire article kind of speaks for itself, but here's some choice snippets.

>According to analysis by the NYCLU, the number of tips of misconduct or corruption received by IAB more than tripled over the period from 1994 to 2006, but the number of serious misconduct investigations were cut by more than half. IAB was investigating approximately 15 per cent. of tips in 1994 ; by 2004, IAB was only investigating approximately 2 per cent. of tips, revealing a sharp decrease in internal investigatory oversight. In its press release announcing its release and review of the IAB annual reports, the NYCLU further noted that, "The annual IAB reports have become less informative over time, with critical information removed from them over time."[163]
>The Civilian Complaint Review Board (CCRB) was established as an agency in New York City in 1993 to be staffed by civilians with the authority to investigate allegations of police misconduct. However, two decades later, its effectiveness was called into question. In 2014, former CCRB executive director Tracey Catapano-Fox alleged in a federal lawsuit that CCRB covers up misconduct by NYPD officers. Ms. Catapano-Fox’s lawsuit alleged that CCRB chair Richard Emery made a “decision to collude” with NYPD, amongst other charges.

And it turns out that the cop just straight up annihilated this mother fucker's knee, full on shattered that shit.

"Nearly 9 out of 10 people stopped were innocent" means that 10% were not. Now, 10% is by no means a perfect statistic, but it is a fucking sizable portion for something that is apparently entirely ineffective.

Discharging firearms into the air in a crowded area when faced with a vocal protest. Clearly the superior method.

>You concede that sometimes it is possible to use a firearm in a less than lethal fashion, yet you are still being absolute regards to wounding shots. Why?

No, I've never said that lethal force cannot be used in a non-lethal manner. You're simply being an absolutist, contrarian fuckwit.

Lethal force is force both capable of causing and reasonably likely to cause death or great bodily injury. Putting a hole within a couple of centimeters of somebody's femoral artery would constitute "serious bodily injury." So would shattering their forearm with that same bullet.

Case law in the United States -- which stemmed from officers effectively making shit up as they went along -- produced the rules I've described above. It can only be used to meet lethal force, or stop a forcible felony (which almost always involves lethal force). That's the law. Department policy (not the law) may be more restrictive than that, but it only carries internal disciplinary consequences and perhaps some civil liability.

If lethal force is used to disable (but not incapacitate), it opens the officer/citizen up to questions of whether its employment was justified in the first place. A prosecutor/plaintiff's attorney would argue, "If he only needed to be shot in the arm, what justified shooting him?"

>What happens to the cop and the department involved?

That's a good question, I don't really know for sure. I'm not certain there's even a precedent for such a case.

I'm assuming he's getting what medical help that can be given, and he's free to try to sue and he'll receive monetary compensation if it is decreed that the officer used excessive force.

The officer may be charged and punished accordingly if he was found guilty.

>>28515896
>"If he only needed to be shot in the arm, what justified shooting him?"
"I had already drawn my firearm in response to the perpetrator drawing a knife.He began to advance on me, and I felt that it was possible to incapacitate him with a shot to a non-lethal area."
Eurocops actually do this sort of thing btw. There was a case in France not too long ago where a cop shot a guy in the leg who was wielding a shotgun. The guy was taken alive and nobody else was hurt.

Not him btw.

Yeah, sure. There is no distinction between firearms and other kit the cops carry, they all can be used if and when the situation calls for it. The officers are then expected to act in a justifiable manner.

Sure. Still less likely lethal than putting the round in the torso.

As a reminder, we're talking about a police force that's generally more willing to be roughed up than pull out their weapons.

There's nothing wrong with the technique, so long as it's used correctly and there's no legislation that effectively prevents its use. Why are we still arguing about this?

The only problem is that they bite the bait from main news organizations for them to believe police are bad people bent on using their authority to take advantage of the American populace.

To be fair, Europe seems far more willing to let their police actually beat the shit out of people than the US.

For one thing, they always seem to be embroiled in some scandal or another, and the higher-ups are largely dickheads who think they're better than the populace (and the same people who manage the firearms program/hate and shit on gun owners).
More practically though, they give you little choice where you get deployed since they're Canada-wide. When you graduate Depot (academy) they ask you to name three provinces (excluding Ontario and Quebec) that you'd like to go to, and they'll TRY to send you to one of them somewhere. You're also expected to move around a few times throughout your career. In contrast, if I get into my local PD (or Alberta Sherriffs) I won't be possibly sent to Shitdick, Manitoba population 80. As an added bonus, they also pay more and are generally better trained.

>drug crime is not victimless, maybe to the user it is. But the violence caused by drug dealing is not. The only way to stop it is to try to stop consumption, and that starts with arresting people for drug use.
No, you are entirely incorrect. Let me show you where you went wrong.

>only way to stop it is to try to stop consumption
People will always consume. You're attacking the problem from the wrong angle. The only appropriate way to curb violence from drug dealing is to remove the "dealing" aspect by legalizing, and subsequently undercutting the black market. Allow me to illustrate, albeit with a bit of hyperbole:
>Daekwon has pot available, but he charges $20 for 3.5 grams.
>Mini Mart has pot available, but they charge $20 for a factory-sealed pack of 20 filtered joints.
If a joint is rolled fat, there's a gram of pot in it. That means Mini Mart is undercutting Daekwon by almost 300%. Now, Daekwon has no problem selling his pot to little twelve-year-old Jimmie. Daekwon also has no problem "defending his turf" with that AR-15 he's got leaning against the end of his couch. Meanwhile, Chuck over at Mini Mart asks to see state issued ID from anyone who wants to buy his cheap pack of smoke.

See where I'm going? Remove the motivation to deal drugs by removing the profitability. You're never gonna stop the end user. Look how well it worked during Prohibition. I mean, we had people drinking Sterno and gasoline, for fuck's sake! The only way to solve this problem is through legalisation, taxation, and regulation of these substances. Anything else is merely tilting at windmills.

>NYPD mostly enforces drug laws

Only for minorities.

E.g. possession of weed is decriminalized in NYC, but "public display" is not. When the cops stop and frisk Jamal and order him to empty his pockets, they then arrest him when he takes his baggie of pot out.

>>28519156
>Isn't that an infinite loop or something?

Not that anon, but it's not unusual for someone who knows the inner workings of law enforcement, especially their own agency, to think that what they do may be systemically fucked up.

And I wouldn't blame a cop for saying not to trust other cops, because there are more than one example of a cop doing the right thing and getting fucked over by his "buddies" in return.

what the actual fuck

Statistically,

American gun owning citizens are more likely to draw their weapon in situations illegally.
Citizens are more likely to use their firearms illegally
Citizens are more likely to injure innocent people in defence situations
In practically every way in dealing with violence, especially involving guns, citizens are always much more incompetent than police yet no reasonable person looks at yet another accidental shooting in a home and blames all home owners.

Wouldn't this lead you to believe that possibly, just maybe, that people make mistakes in stressful and dangerous situations rather than some narrative about baby killing assault cops?

I agree with you to a point, but "home owners" is not a group that is reasonably expected to have to deal with violent criminals, nor are they trained to

The police are a group that is reasonably expected to have to deal with violent criminals, and are they trained to. As such, they should both have and be held to higher standards.
