Probably something like "well these guys weren't trained for the situations, they were civilians, cops are supposed to be trained for them"Originally posted by square_peg View PostWould a mature, reasonable person care to provide a reasonable answer to why such a reply would supposedly be flawed?
I would really appreciate it if you would be a bit more circumspect in your quoting... the way you had this laid out, it APPEARED that this was part of what I said. It was not.The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.

Originally posted by pancreasman View PostTime for my regular completely unwarranted generalisation: You Americans seem to be stuck in black or white thinking. Cops are either saintly heroes doing an tough job or evil fascists. Surely the real truth is that just like everybody else, there are 'good' cops and 'bad' cops and every shade in between. Your history is chock full of examples of corrupt and violent cops as well as heroic public servants.
I suspect any 2 cops might handle any given situation differently. I think we should avoid lionising cops in all situations because it leaves no room for 'he did what he thought was right, but he probably could have handled it better.'
There is also the adrenalin factor and the "fight or flight" response with which a human has to deal.
I believe I am qualified as an expert in these matters since I have watched many episodes of 'Law and Order'.The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.

Originally posted by Adrift View PostI know this post was in jest, but to clarify, this wouldn't be one of those threads. Ironically, just the other day, I was the one being denounced as an evil liberal. Honestly, I don't really consider myself a conservative or a liberal, and the thread wasn't created to denounce anyone. I just thought it was interesting seeing an open minded individual taking the time to see things from the other side.
