Thread: Do you think the Portland Police should learn how to disarm persons without firearms.

Not to mention this guy had a rap sheet of over 40 arrest to include, ASSAULT, along with a list of other charges.

Well I agree with you 100% on this. Police officers spend their entire day dealing with the garbage that no one else can or will do anything about. Do I think more training with the newest less than lethal products would better equip our fine officers to make the split second life and death decisions that they will have to live with forever a little easier? Absolutely, but I will sleep soundly tonight knowing that my family is a little safer with one less bad guy on the streets.

Until they invent this...



Cops will shoot people and vice versa. If you want every cop to be Chuck Norris then you better pay them accordingly...
