Los Angeles, CA—Police training has taken a fascist turn
here along with our political leadership.
One only has to look at the prison population to understand we are in a
police state growing by the second into something no rational human beings will
want.
Police work is sometimes dangerous. Criminals despite laws and every kind of gun
ban still rape rob and murder. We insist
of maintaining the miserably failed Drug War keeping illicit profits and
government corruption at an all time high. Our liberty and freedom has been at an all
time low as a direct result.
We’ve turned street cops into urban commandos raiding homes
(many by mistake) at all hours. The
result is far more dangerous than the outlawed drugs themselves.
We want our cops alive and train them to take no
chances. The hero cop is really an
endangered species.
I was trained differently.
We had no ballistic vests and carried six-shot service revolvers as we
worked the mean streets of Chicago. We
understood two things; deadly force was to be a last resort and to weigh the
moral consequences of any deadly force used.
We were taught that mental illness often brought on people’s
violent reactions and that we need to be as humane as possible. Bringing suspects to justice alive was the
goal. Bringing them in dead was always considered
a serious failure.
Frankly the average Chicago cop in a busy district could
kill as many as 12 suspects a year with complete justification. Instead cops looked for every reason not to
pull the trigger. Of course
where there was no option whatsoever bullets must fly.
In the early 1970s then, New York City Police Detective and
psychologist Harvey Schlossberg became the father of modern police hostage
negotiation in American police work. His
efforts saved countless lives of cops, hostages and suspects. The result was his hostage negotiation training that really
exemplified the sanctity of human life.
The negotiator that had the fewest injuries or fatalities on his watch
won.
Now cops are armed to the teeth with heavier weapons and are
protected with military armor and vehicles.
The negotiations end once there is a clear shot, all in the name of
officer safety. Schlossberg’s model has
been for the most part replaced with military rules of engagement. Modern military training that so many vets
have has changed the direction of police agencies to quicker use of deadly
force at every level.
Something has gone wrong here. I see no turning back to the days of police
heroes like former Chicago Police Superintendent James Rochford. Rochford brought in mentally deranged war
vet, Frank Kulak alive after he used bombs and guns killing both civilians and
cops. Rochford used his own skill and
bravery beyond the call of duty as a negotiator to successfully end this prolonged siege.
Today, Frank Kulak would have been taken out like the Waco,
TX Branch Davidians were with firebombs and helicopters under scorched earth
rules of engagement.
Comments
Some people in the military have already suffered a hellavalot, but no relief in the form of help, & therapy when they return home,
Instead for their service which may have caused PTSS- they are just slaughtered. Know that there are NO second chances when it comes to a LAPD or FOS police chase. Things will go wrong, because the police would rather protect themselves, and you will be as dead as a dodo!

Keep it up and as times get tougher and tougher, this Israeli training, this zio-nazi instilled brutality towards innocent men, women, children and even our dear pets is going to backfire on you. Backfire dramatically.
In Pa. where I live, on opening day of deer season there are 800,000 men, women and youths 'out and about' armed with high powered rifles, shotguns and pistols. One state. Wake up!
Think about it.
I have tried pointing out how some cops have murdered people such as how a cop shot and killed a man walking down the street just whittling on a piece of wood and how the killed a little girl sleeping on a sofa.
There minds will not even allow them to accept that even if it is video. It doesn't enter their brain. Instead they reply, "When someone is shooting at a cop, he has a right to shoot back."
Furthermore, even if they could believe, they are conditioned to obey and just like the Jews under Hitler they will be passive and while being shot and murdered.
All we can hope for is citizens becoming aware that a few cops go too far and hope for a political change.
What does that even mean?
It's nonsense.
First, there are millions of veterans and second there are tens of millions of hunters, farmers, woodsmen, etc., etc. who shoot very well.
We aren't unarmed Germany or unarmed Bolshevik Russia. We're armed to the teeth.
As far as those armored tin cans the police are getting, that's all showboat crappola.
Anyone getting into one of those things might just as well go ahead and baste himself with butter first.
How about a little reality?
Recent and ongoing history.
Russian, with its immense Air Force, Army, Special Forces and all the rest could barely subdue Chechnya, a tiny nation the size of Rhode Island! Rhode Island!
How's Afghanistan working out?
How did Vietnam work out?
C'mon man!
Again, one state.. Tough folks like most rurals are. Tens of millions of them.
We don't know yet because the good times are still rolling, for the most part.
During relatively good times (food, water, beer, TV, etc.) the general mantra is 'do your own thing' 'anything goes', etc. and people put up with just about everything with a shrug, with an oh well.
When bad times come for real, the mantras rapidly morph into their counterparts.
Too early to say but I personally think most small city, small town and rural folks do indeed have it in them.
Don't forget, RPG (the great equalizer) is made right down the road in Mexico and I'm sure the (fill in the blank nations) will gladly supply thousands to whomever wants them.
Ask the combat vets how devastating these are. Especially RPG-29. Hezbollah versus the IDF in 2006. Remember? Quite a rout, eh? Like I said about Afghanistan. Hill people and farmers armed with RPG, AK's and IED's are at worst stalemating the much bragged about Jet fighters, choppers, transports, artillery, satellites and every electronic gadget under the sun.
Not to mention those US soldiers are OUR sons and daughters, fathers and mothers, uncles and cousins. They're not the 2%. They're us.
Time will tell.
The great equalizer, indeed, the RPG. The American people should, as per their God-given right to keep and bear arms, have access to the latest and best weapons in the world in order to safeguard and defend their liberty. That includes the finest anti-tank and anti-aircraft weapons, as well as all manner of light and heavy arms. Unfortunately, most people, including supposedly pro-gunners, find this too radical. But as you said, as long as the people are willing to stand their ground and fight, no manner of gadgetry will defeat them. Will they stand or will they bend the knee? Only God knows.
Approx. half the 'died in the line of duty' comes from driving around like maniacs and crashing their cars. Another large % is heart attacks. No doubt donut and steroid induced. They want a medal for that? Yep, they do.
Six out of every 10 police deaths are "accidental" and when you realize the grand total cop deaths for the whole US every year is approx. 150, well, pardon my lack of hand wringing.
For every one actual crime in progress the cops stop, hundreds are stopped by regular people on a daily basis. Twice I've deterred miscreants with bad intent just by showing them my pistol and a willingness to use it, need be.
Happens all the time, everywhere.
Thank God.
watch history and you can see when they screwed us.
The only reason a city cop needs a tank is to use on the citizens. I would urge all police types to do some web searching on the fate of tyrants. What happened to the police in places like east germany , romania, etc.
I would urge the cops to talk among themselves and ask if they really want to start murdering people simply becasue they have had enough. There is going to be a civil war in this country very soon and the cops could bring it to a very quick end simply by leaving their tanks and war toys behind and standing WITH not AGAINST the people, keep playing your stupid macho intimidation games and your outcome is already forordained. Love to all

Some outside oversight is sorely needed to stop the brutality and the corruption.
Just because a person wears a uniform does not mean they are on the side of the Angels.
