re: #285 Uncle Obdicut

Training and experience vary wildly, though. I don’t share your expectation, though I’d agree that the current case of an ex-SWAT guy you’d assume he’d have better judgement, which is why I’m wondering if dementia is involved.

A lot of cops (thankfully) go their whole careers without being in a weapon-drawing situation, because we really do have a generally safe society.

I’m really beginning to wonder about that. I think it’s safe for some and not for others. A person not able to stand-up for their rights either with intellect, resources (lawyer) or physical strength is prey —more so now than we like to admit.

The predators are/have gained the upper hand and I’m pretty pissed about it. I do what I can.
