If you go to a situation as a cop expecting everything to be okay and nothing will happen, then you are trained wrong. If you are a cop and you go into a situation knowing that it can go bad very fast and you have to be prepared, then you're trained correctly. As a cop, you have to be ready and be able to think on your feet and take action against things that look deadly or suspicious, especially when it seems like the guy is legitimately holding a gun. It can be this fast: *pulls a guy over, the guy gets out and is holding something thats black in a suspicious way that looks like a gun and got out very awkwardly* "gotta follow pro-" *the cop is shot* --- End quote --- i understand that this is how a situation should be dealt with. however, if cops are trained to deal with every suspicious situation 'with no hesitation' then people will die, get injured, etc. 100% of these situations aren't going to harm the police officer, so you shouldn't train the cop to react this way to 100% of the situations |
