Not a lot of housekeeping, apparently.What is going on in Texas???
I just saw the Body Cam footage, less then a second between the command to show hands and BANG! That is Murder right there and the Cop should be charged for it!
These were signs posted in Minneapolis when the cop murdered the Australian woman. I don't know what happened in Fort Worth, but especially after the Amber Guyer shooting of a guy eating ice cream I would not be surprised if they start popping up in Texas. View attachment 624850
Good.Charged
Fort Worth police officer jailed on murder charge after resigning in shooting that killed woman in home
The family of a black woman who was shot and killed by a white Fort Worth police officer over the weekend wants him to be fired, “vigorously prosecuted” and then “appropriately sentenced,” their attorney announced Monday.www.foxnews.com
I've wondered for a while now what would the data be on studies comparing cops who've made a bad shoot like this in haste compared to their familiarity with guns growing up. For example, if someone grew up around a lot of firearms growing up, are they less prone to being trigger happy, are people who didn't get into firearms until becoming a cop more trigger happy because of the lack of experience. It would be an interesting study for sure.
I can tell you that its not hard to get them to qualify, but getting them to (I hate using this word) "Operate" with a gun is a different story. Its easier with athletes because they are used to making their bodies do what they want. Its also easier to get them to conceptualize shooting and even a gunfight like an athletic event. They have an easier time slowing things down.
I had a kid who had never shot, have a real hard time until I asked if he'd ever played sports. He said he played baseball and pitched. I asked him if he was able to tell when he let go if he'd thrown a strike. He said he could tell as the ball came off his fingers.....all the sudden he could shoot.
Its like watching a skilled waiter carry a tray of meals vs me trying not to spill a single cup of coffee walking across the living room. No matter our profession, we all have to learn to "operate" with our tools, not just use them.
