Tough Day To Be In Law Enforcement

But what if he tries to overthrow Tazmania by hijacking a NASA Blackbird aircraft after they let him go? You ever think about that?

So you catch a guy in the process of molesting someone, using your analogy, and you wanna call him an Uber because you don't know if he will tomorrow?

Mmmkay.

Most of those guys get out on bail anyhow. It's not like an arrest permanently locks them away.

On the other hand, sober molestors don't act as stupidly as drunk people over being arrested, and are less likely to be gunned down, if that matters to you.

They have his car though. They can impound it, look up his home address and go send officers to arrest him in the morning. I guess that may be asking the cops to think fast though, which they aren't terribly adept at.

Or, you can make that standard policy, and they don't have to think about it at all.

Seriously.

What ever happened to personal responsibility and accountability?

I agree that once the guy steals the taser, it's hard to fault the police actions. I also think the police bear responsibility for escalating the situation before that point. Lots of personal responsibility to go around.
 
Just because we’ve always done law enforcement a certain way doesn’t mean we always should. Just like with health care and gun violence and education... we can benefit from looking outside our little world. I know I know, we’re exceptional and always number 1 but still. It’s beneficial to see how other countries are doing things.

This is Eye opening and explains a lot


I had a friend once who got his hair license. She had to have over 2,000 training hours, so basically 3x as much training as our police. That was for hair.

You write as if that's an absolute and it's not so I disagree.

I think in some cases, sure, they don't need to be locked up. Problem is, you never know.

By the time they get out on bail they've had time to sober up and are removed from making any other poor decisions.
