re: #284 MsJ

Please don’t hate on me but I think we need less veterans in law enforcement. When you are trained that everything is a threat and the only way to neutralize it is through your weapon, that is the mindset you bring to police work.

Remember, not too long ago, when the Iraq veteran was reprimanded for not immediately pointing his weapon?

From what I’ve seen, it’s not the military training that’s the issue. It’s the mindset of the person. My military training as a nuke electrician would be useless as an LEO.

A good portion of the problem is the inadequate training LEOs are receiving.
