      True.

      A friend of mine was a cop for two years in Kansas, and a major focal point of their training is personal safety, which is why you see cops doing nothing in so many of these clear emergency situations. They’re trained not to be a hero.

        Yeah the most police forces have rule 1 “make it home at the end of the day”. We have had police officers fired for not shooting unarmed suspects because “he could have been and that put his fellow officers life in unacceptable danger”

        Combine that with killology as one the main way police are trained. You are in enemy territory and every is willing ready and able to kill at any time and the only way you will survive is if you are willing to kill faster. Of course we have a lot a police that are tirgger happy and see everyone who is not police an enemy.
