Your posts are always so intelligent and well thought out, so if it isn't too much trouble, would you please enlighten me on why you believe police officer training is sufficient for every single public disturbance or threat that isn't a fire or medical issue?

 

Instead, perhaps, you should tell us how exactly you'd change the training to adequately address these immeasurable variations between incidents a law enforcement officer is called on to respond to.

We'll wait.

 

You mean like you trying to convey an intelligent post on the BBS?

 

When did he try to do that?

 

I did use the word try...

 

No training is sufficient for every situation for any activity.

 

I love it. They were just having a party on a hot summer night. Leave the damn kids alone and they wont throw shit at your dumbass.

 

LOL, and we know that you've enjoyed it.

We are using the word “lie” deliberately. Not every falsehood is deliberate on Trump's part. But it would be the height of naïveté to imagine he is merely making honest mistakes. He is lying.

The list above uses the conservative standard of demonstrably false statements. By that standard, Trump told a public lie on at least 20 of his first 40 days as president. But based on a broader standard — one that includes his many misleading statements (like exaggerating military spending in the Middle East) — Trump achieved something remarkable: He said something untrue, in public, every day for the first 40 days of his presidency. The streak didn’t end until March 1.

 

I wouldn't so much change the training as I would seek to change the idea that an armed police officer is always the best answer to both "protect and serve". For one, assign mental health professionals as partners based on the dept's % of calls dealing with mental health and distressed and non violent individuals. I also believe these mental health partners could be a helpful assist to officers on many domestic calls that would honestly drive anyone insane. Also, utilize police officers to help other city functions deal with homelessness (and the mental health and substance abuse issues that go hand in hand) rather than officers being the frontlines and police holding cells being a next best choice when shelters fill.

 

NTY: There's no evidence of illegal voting.
Mongo: and will be proven illegal votes.

Until your "will be proven" part comes true and it falls within Trump's "I know" boast of 3-5 Million - your statement and the NYT statement mean exactly the same thing.

 

And I was married to a PsyD for 16 years...the two need to work together - its currently only a one way street as you pointed out.

 

Today, or maybe yesterday, Trump said that he had signed more bills than any President before him in the number of days that he's been in office. That was either a deliberate lie or simply an inadvertent falsehood because he doesn't know what the hell he's talking about. I really think that he pops off and makes statements without actually knowing if the statements is accurate. He is, in fact, one of the most spontaneous people in public life it appears. I wish he would cool his jets a bit. These little falsehoods costs him credibility and he needs all that he can get.

 

Meanwhile, back on planet earth where the most dangerous situation for an officer is a domestic abuse call...

Thanks, but if I were a flatfooted jackbooted ticket writing tax fed thug, the last thing in the world I'd want riding shotgun is some mamby pamby therapist

 

Would your wife take a $55k/yr job as a rolling pain in the ass in a squad car?

Yeah. Didn't think so.

 

Congrats on proving the hammer for every job analogy for me.
