The premise of the video is that there is a new trend prosecutors are using your training against you. IE, because you were trained you should have know to; deescalate, retreat, chose less than lethal etc.There's a flip side to this... if you have relevant, high-quality training that covers use of deadly force, deescalation, less-than-lethal means, etc, you want to have that documented in a way that is actually discoverable. Massad Ayoob covers a lot of this in his excellent MAG-40 (or MAG-20 legal) course.
So more fearmongering and rumors, got it...The premise of the video is that there is a new trend prosecutors are using your training against you. IE, because you were trained you should have know to; deescalate, retreat, chose less than lethal etc.
Ive never hear of that channel till now, but I have no doubt anything can be used against you.So more fearmongering and rumors, got it...
Never watch that channel, too much clickbait. Goes with the Guns & Gadgets clown, Alex Jonesing for Cash, et al.
Sure, anything can be used against someone, but not to a level of absurdity. Reasonable doubt still applies, unless they are talking a civil action.Ive never hear of that channel till now, but I have no doubt anything can be used against you.
These attorneys need better arguments. They are relying on classic private citizen explanations. If citizens are now to rely on LEO arguments, then they need to upgrade their justifications. Most military fall into this category as well.It's not what you think from the splash screen. Some really good info in this pertaining to training and protecting yourself from a legal standpoint if you may find yourself involved in a SD situation. Make note of the comments at the 10:15 mark.
Not sure what this means? Do you need a hug?
They make the point that they are seeing trends. It is for each of us to decide our level of being informed and proactive in this area and considering possibilities. Some are not very controllable (e.g., Binger talking about how deadly FMJ bullets are in .223's...I though hollow points were evil???) where others are (i.e., who you take your training from and what material is covered). If you go to a Mas Ayoob class, he will cite you the cases for nearly everything he talks about. These might not always lose a case but one example he uses is the $10,000+ a defendant spent trying to keep out some damming words inscribed onto his gun out of the trial. Spendy.Do they cite one case, even one case, where this actually happens successfully?
Could not agree more. Mas shows you video tapes of him talking in this class. Why? So when he is contacted (by your attorney or the prosecutor) he will show the jury the actual videos of what was covered (include the good topics you mention above). Good schools focus on the best way to win a gunfight is to not be in one. How do you avoid, deescalate, use non-lethal force, etc. This is worth documenting.There's a flip side to this... if you have relevant, high-quality training that covers use of deadly force, deescalation, less-than-lethal means, etc, you want to have that documented in a way that is actually discoverable.

Agree, and would add leaning how to manage/avoid threats. Stopping a threat does not always involve the use of deadly force, yet some spend most if not all their focus in this realm (not you, your points have always been well thought out for the years I've been on this forum!)I train to stop the threat. PERIOD
