    Yeah that was a crazy story. With all the police militarization in this country you’d think they would have some training to go along with it.

      I once got sucked into a copaganda thing in Vegas. (I thought they had Tommy guns). The whole point was to put you on the officer’s shoes to make snap decisions to show why we need to be less critical of police when they kill civilians. I argued with her that this was why we need to increase training and job requirements. The guide did not like that.

        … what in the fresh 7 hells? how does putting a civilian in life or death simulations compare at all to a TRAINED “professional” doing what they literally signed up for? lmfao.
