Ok, I think it is stupid for them to be lopsided and inefficient.

In order to train to a level where cops from different units can operate at even basic levels of military standards would require pulling tons of people off the streets for days or weeks. Departments simply can't afford to do that. Hell, most departments you're lucky to get room clearing training every five years.

I don’t think any of this is the job of the police other than specialized units (SWAT, HRT). Cops don’t need to meet military standards.

If you cant do it right don’t do it at all.

Just because departments are broke isn’t an excuse for lovely police work. Stop making excuses for being bad and lobby for more funding or something. But stop being bad regardless of funding.

I can only imagine they're highly disappointed the cops didn't shoot the hostages this time. Probably had posts ready to go and they have to fall back on fashion critiques.

But you have the ability to control a lot of the situation, e.g. not setting yourself up as an easy target.

If you can spot where I said they shouldn’t have responded, I’ll donate $100 to a charity of your choice.

Otherwise, shut the gently caress up.

wow I don't know, not like there haven't been multiple shootings with high powered rifles at schools, churches, mosques, synagogues, temples, movie theaters, public spaces and just about everywhere else

America has chosen to live in a heavily armed society, until you fix that, giving cops body armor that can stop that level of threat seems like a good idea.

I get all the objections to militarizing police, but this type of incident is what that poo poo is for

Dude, you said "if you cant do it right dont do it at all". What else is that supposed to mean when we are talking about people in a non war zone responding to an active shooter? You constantly bitch about the militarization of police, but here you are whining that these civilians aren't responding like soldiers. Which way do you want it?

Which job? Social work? Domestic violence? Traffic enforcement? Violence suppression? Conflict mediation? Investigation and preservation of evidence?

The initial response to these situations is always overwhelming and chaotic as units self deploy and show up with improper and incomplete information. Managing to pin these two psychopaths in one location and maintaining firearms control is doing it right in my opinion, and having too many cops in one area is not a critical failure.

something we actually worry about. NYPD orders plainclothes off the scene as soon as possible, and plainclothes are required to carry hi-vis jackets in the car. Jersey should consider the same standards.

They didn’t need to all be stacked on a wall like that. It is unnecessarily unsafe, especially if they felt necessary to watch across the street.

I am sorry that you think the correct method is to add unnecessary danger to the officers, and then blame it on funding. We don’t seem like we will agree here. But just know that my whole point is that the officers were in danger they didn’t need to be in.

Ok here is what I said:

“If they can’t do it right they shouldn’t do it at all.”

Which means they shouldn’t respond if they can’t do it right. Which you turned into me wanting Jewish people shot.. or something.
