  Shit, as prior military we were taught you don't point your weapon at anything or anyone unless you're prepared to pull the trigger. The fact that all the others on that line had their weapons down, but this dude has his up the whole time, tells you all you need to know about the lack of training of that individual.

    Lack of training

    On the contrary, these pigs are doing exactly what the people in power want them to.

      Pay no attention to LAPD, we purposely trained them wrong... as a joke.

    We put too much stock in training here, for things that should be obvious. How do we know you shouldn’t do that? I haven’t had any police training.

    This is related to that “qualified immunity” bullshit. Somehow we let what could have been an appropriate thing turn into cops being above the law except in rare cases they were specifically trained for and there is existing case law. Bullshit. All too many of these look interesting headline cases start with “any sane person knows …” yet cops are above the law

    None of the other cops stopped him from firing his weapon at the innocent lady

  Yeah, that was close enough to kill. She might have internal bleeding for all we know.
