It's the sixth version of The Swamp. What could possibly go wrong?

Turns out she wasn't armed, but she was wearing "tactical gear".Deputies also revealed that Savannah Graziano, the 15-year-old girl at the center of Monday's Amber Alert was also fatally shot during Tuesday's shootout, where she was allegedly wearing tactical gear. They reported that she charged at the deputies in the middle of the firefight and that she was possibly firing at them with her father.
After a pursuit and shooting, the California Highway Patrol canceled the Amber Alert for 15-year-old Savannah Graziano, the suspect's daughter.
It's unbelievable. Actually, I wish it were unbelievable, but still it's amazing.Pruitt IV wrote: ↑Mon Nov 20, 2023 1:16 pm When Incompetence Becomes Obscene
Ridiculous coverup in Mississippi.
If this is how highly trained professionals act, what would an untrained civilian do? Can't imagine the shot that guy is going to take when he comes back from suspension.
That reaction is a result of their training. They are instructed to treat everyone and everything as a threat, then respond with essentially "shoot first and ask questions later".The Sybian wrote: ↑Wed Feb 14, 2024 3:47 pmIf this is how highly trained professionals act, what would an untrained civilian do?

Not exactly. They are trained to use deadly force as a last resort, but if you have to use a gun, always shoot to kill. Or more accurately, shoot to stop, but that often means dead.DSafetyGuy wrote: ↑Wed Feb 14, 2024 4:09 pmThat reaction is a result of their training.

After all, what punishment do they really get for fucking up?
She saw the first cop shooting at the car. And I think he also said it was the car. Of course, if you see her camera, she's shooting wildly also in the direction of the first cop. Not exactly the nation's best there.

Later on:When I entered the Washington, D.C., police academy in 2016 as a recruit officer in the district’s volunteer police reserve corps, I quickly discovered that I was joining a paramilitary organization.
Minneapolis Banned Warrior-Style Police Training. Its Police Union Kept Offering It AnywayPolice departments obtaining used Army filing cabinets at cost isn’t cause for concern, but there’s no earthly reason for small-town cops to wear military fatigues, ride around in mine-resistant Humvees, or carry bayonets. Studies suggest that police departments that receive such equipment see no measurable improvement in officer safety or crime rates, but greater quantities do seem to correlate with higher rates of officer-involved shootings and reduced public trust.
While an investigation is underway over the use of the chokehold in Floyd’s death, it’s worth taking a look at the “warrior-style” police training that for years had been popular with the city’s top police union. For the unfamiliar, the training, as we reported in 2017, generally espouses a “killology” vision of law enforcement that’s frequently likened to “fear porn.” Experts say the training, which has been linked to high profile police-related killings around the country, including Philando Castille’s 2016 shooting death, also in Minnesota, often runs the risk of the use of unnecessary, and sometimes, fatal force:
This approach to policing is outdated and ineffective, says Stoughton, and, “some of it is dangerously wrong.” Samuel Walker, a criminal-justice professor and expert on police accountability, says the “Bulletproof Warrior” approach is “okay for Green Berets but unacceptable for domestic policing. The best police chiefs in the country don’t want anything to do with this.”
Here's the poor woman...The body of a Tennessee deputy who disappeared after making an arrest has been recovered, hours after his patrol vehicle was pulled from a river, officials said Thursday night.
The body of a woman handcuffed in the backseat was also recovered in the vehicle, which was found submerged in the Tennessee River, officials said.
According to the Meigs County Sheriff’s Office, Smith was arrested after Leonard responded to a disturbance call. Officials said Leonard accidentally took the wrong turn and drove into the river. As the cruiser hit the water, she was handcuffed in the back seat and unable to free herself.
