"You and yours" refers to the people who come into this thread to accuse me and the other goon cops of domestic violence and racism and then tell us to kill ourselves because some redneck in Florida murdered a black kid. I'm a civilian just like some of you. There is no otherization on my part.

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.


Right but changing the story and putting words in other peoples’ mouths to make yourself correct and/or the victim is pretty on brand for police.

I dunno, first response plainclothes officers not looking like a well oiled kill squad is not the worst thing in the world. We don't know what exactly their understanding of the situation they were in was this photograph was taken. We also don't really know how long they were bunched up, what other priorities may have been playing into what they are doing, or really loving anything. Fighting about whether they look right seems like an odd red herring given the fact that they were responding to a loving mass shooting event, but those have become so common place in our society that I guess this is where we are.

I mean if the policy was just to wait for swat, wouldn't that be equally as contemptible? An officer died responding to the scene ASAP and when you don't know exactly who you are supposed to be shooting at (except maybe a person with a gun) it seems that it would follow that you are likely headed into a clusterfuck.

All and all from what I've seen I think these officers were doing their job as well as could be expected or demanded.

Goddamn even when people are looking out for you it’s a problem. No wonder no one likes cops.

Is it less than ideal to have every officer lined up on one wall? Sure. But there is no defined hierarchy for someone to give orders, there isn't any information indicating other shooters - and this is a crime scene, not a war zone, chances are there won't be additional shooters. Look, ultimately the problem with your premise is that interagency training will never be a thing, primarily for logistical reasons. Policing in America is done at a local level, and it's unreasonable to expect that 4 agencies will have not only trained together enough to coordinate their actions in a meaningful way, but also to establish who has jurisdiction/control/whatever over a given scene to be able to give orders. It's a chaotic, dynamic situation and you do the best you can. Hell, given the lack of uniforms (which, as has been pointed out, is a function of the emergency) splitting up could prove to be more dangerous if one cop sees someone they don't know with a firearm.

I didn’t say anything about how they were dressed so you’re not arguing in good faith, and I also never said they should use military tactics (and instead leave that up to special units like swat), so you’re just lashing out.

I said if they can’t do it right they shouldn’t do it.

You then asked why I didn’t want them to respond.

So you tell me what they did wrong, since “if they can’t do it right they shouldn’t respond” means “they shouldn’t respond” to you.

The only argument I saw boiled down to "they shouldn't be so ready to go tactical at all times" and "they shouldn't be morons". Both of which are true, but they're problems with the way society works now.
