To give him credit where it's due, our trainer said this was the best he'd response ever seen to someone trying to fight a cop: the cop grabbed him from behind but then said, very softly, "hey, hey you're scaring me". Guy relaxed, apologized, and they arrested him.

So, the ideal was there, at least in training, by the cop that cared enough about this stuff to teach the class. That's not how it really works for most cops in the real world, abolish the police etc.

Its why they keep calling out stop resisting while they beat the poo poo out of people who are handcuffed and curled up in a defensive ball. Its gets the audio on record and usually its where the dashcam cant see it so they can throw extra charges at someone. Its also why body cam footage keeps being unavailable or the cams keep getting turned off

i see videos like that and all i can think of is that it's a prime example of absolute dogshit training. they were trained in exactly gently caress all for de-escalation techniques; they were told to yell stop resisting at the first sign of resistance, but literally nothing else, so that's all the cops do while they tackle someone and force arms into breaking positions while another cop sits on a neck.

no one is going to be listening to verbal commands when four 240 lbs. pieces of poo poo are grinding them into the pavement while wrenching their arms the wrong way.

MOM WAS RIGHT
Reminds me of the argument I had with this SGT who was a cop trying to give LE experience as a NCO bullet after hours; he asked me to assist since I did security and knew basic techniques, but he would just start going ham with all these weird "what ifs" during demonstrations.

If you keep training how to recover from the worst position, you're going to find yourself in those positions a helluva lot more than if you trained on the basics, and you're gonna find yourself less equipped to handle the loving basics that happen all the time.

Like security I had to talk my way out of loving everything.

Don't think I've seen it mentioned yet, but an article on The Intercept goes over a significant hack of law enforcement data that was then made public.

Salon article here.
Wikipedia here, for anyone who doesn't want to read the analysis on Intercept or Salon.

This is still very early days, so not much of the data has been scrutinized. It was mostly collected by law enforcement agencies and then combined via DHS among local and federal authorities under the guise of information sharing, details are in the links above. The simplest way to put it - on the surface, it all looks like back channel communication among LEOs and LE agencies. For all that we see LEOs post some truly horrific poo poo on Facebook, some of what will come out of this will be the things they aren't willing to say publicly.

I don't have anything to add - this is effectively the law enforcement version of the Panama Papers from a few years ago, but it could provide some very interesting news in the months to come if someone (or a news agency) decides to really deep dive this and run with it.

I also really enjoy ill-fitting gear. These people would rather spend so much money on gear they'll likely never use a in a serious situation instead of spending time taking care of their health.

How do stop fired/retired/aspirational cops using their weapons experience and stolen caches of equipment from forming domestic terror groups? My mind goes to Paul Bremer's debaathication/disbanding of the Iraqi army.

We already have a significant number of paramilitary white nationalist groups. Adding a few ex cops to their number won't make a significant difference.

I think the key will be to not leave large warehouses of explosives, mortar shells, and other insurgent goodies unguarded for several weeks.

They already have plenty of small arms due to :911:

22lr as soon as they get hired lol.

But seriously replace everything the cops fire with 22 lr. Its cheap, it can be used in half the guns ever made thanks to ar cnversion kits, and there literally tens of millions of rounds sitting around so youll never run out. Also it reduces the operating budget of the departments and when cops start wildly firing at everything that has a shadow its much less likely to kill someone 100 yards away through a wall than 223 or 9mm. And even if cops to funnel their poo poo to their cousin in the kkk its not as useful in that scenario

I'd guarantee them jobs, homes, and healthcare, just like everyone else. Would that work? Could we even do it? Maybe not, but the problem you describe is, more broadly, one that we already have: Imperial wars always come home

Any attempt to "downgrade" police access to "sufficiently" lethal weapons will almost assuredly come with a call for the seizure of or mandatory alterations to arms in the hands of the general populace. And as any gun owner (especially Californians and District-dwellers) will tell you right now, the best way to restrict the public's right to bear arms is by ensuring no one's able to easily or readily buy ammunition or reloading supplies.

It's a Pandora's Box that's been open way too damned long and has way too much money jamming the lid ajar to ever close it.

I also think that if you *only* gave cops .22LR, they're going to use their service weapons even more often than they do *now* because they'll see the smaller "wimpier" caliber as a "less lethal" alternative to what they were originally trained on.

Well, while most cops aren't operator ninjas they're still a lot more competent and have access to more resources than your average skinhead.

That being said the cops will work with far right groups anyway, they already do and when things continue to get worse they'll bring them in and do it more blatantly, and disbanding police departments at least makes them less dangerous since they'll do it anyway.
