Quote:Read this on the cnn crawl this morning... the crawl said the therapist was complying with the officer orders, had his hands up and was still shot...


If that's what happened, it's yet another indication that we are training these people terribly.

 

I don't know.  Hasn't this always happened?   How many times did police have this type of encounter yesterday?  Is it really unusual for this type of thing to happen?   Yes, it appears this one guy probably should not be a policeman.   But how many police are there?   What percentage of times does this actually happen?  

 

To me, it's like terrorism.   There's a terrorist incident somewhere in the world, and people start posting that they've decided they won't leave their house without a gun.   It's ridiculous.  What are the odds of anyone actually encountering a terrorist?   Practically zero.    

 

Isn't it possible we're overreacting to everything?   It's all driven by the internet.   Everything is news now.   There's no perspective.
