During segments of our Use of Force training they would through scenarios at you that baited you to shoot but they wanted the de-escalation. They were all taken from actual calls for service. You'd get some real dicks to deal with that pushed all your buttons.

Ok....well then...since that implies you trust things straight from the horse's mouth (NYPD) despite believing the unions distort the facts (fair point; individual officers by and large may support something that the chief / union do not as those are far more politicized positions):
PoliceOne's Gun Control Survey: 11 key lessons from officers' perspectives Quote:
Pew Research: Gun Homicide Rate Down 49% Since 1993 Peak; Public Unaware I post this one first since, despite being a little outdated, the sentiment has remained pervasive and uninformed (ie, people believing consistently over the years that it is always trending upwards, even during periods of decline). This one is more recent, and shows the recent uptick - but overall still declining - rate. https://www.pewresearch.org/fact-tan...hs-in-the-u-s/ Quote:
To everyone else: I know, I know, feeding the trolls, but every time I get sucked into one of these debates I try to keep in mind that for every troll posting, there are dozens of uninformed fence sitters lurking and reading and not knowing who to believe / who's a troll vs who's reliable. It's for them that I post replies and responses. At the end of the day, we're all ambassadors, like it or not, for our cause / side of an argument. Represent your side well and you may win people over. Represent it poorly and you may not. I'm willing to bet that the scales are tipped moderately in favor of guns, but also acknowledge that the worst part about guns can sometimes be the gun community. I chalk a good bit of that up to being the targets of decades of harassment and vilification, but regardless of the reason it's still unbecoming. I have quite a bit more patience than most so I allow myself a bit of leeway when it comes to posting on certain topics. We're once again straying into political territory but I wanted to post the police1 study as it was directly relevant to the last couple pages here as far as "well, you're a cop, how do you feel about concealed carry / gun control".

But seriously, once again Lucy shows herself to be the only person here who understands stats, and the amazing tool google can be (Murf#2 can be good sometimes). Unfortunately, Lucy scored her point by changing the subject to April crime in NYC, from the subject of Bail Reform. But that's OK; I just need to regroup. |

"6. The overwhelming majority (almost 90 percent) of officers believe that casualties would be decreased if armed citizens were present at the onset of an active-shooter incident." ...is just a joke. What did you expect the cops to say? |

You might discover I don't LIKE many people that carry guns and wish everyone that wanted to WOULD get training. I am out of practice and feel uncomfortable myself and I suspect I could pass most police firing line tests. I'm just OK with Texas saying it isn't something they want to control via regulations as it is a right. If congress actually got the votes to pass an amendment removing the 2nd then I would respect that. I just don't respect any efforts to put constraints on rights. No more than I would if suddenly my right to stand on a soapbox and say the president sucks was curtailed. BTW I believe all this 2A stuff will come to the forefront in the near future as eventually the SC is going to be forced to hear if it is an actual individual right or not. Could be some major kerfluffle on one side or another. Speaking of cats - we get this little guy back in an urn next week. Taking him in was the saddest day I've had in years. |

Come to Boston, it is nearly impossible for a law abiding citizen to obtain a gun legally.

Hey man I'm really sorry about your cat. If it's the one I'm thinking of he was appreciative of everything you did for him until the final days. Trust me, I know the feeling well and it's hard to get over. You'll probably at least have good memories during the better days. |

Last year was a strange one, and it's hard to use it for comparisons. Looking further back we can see some trends: Going two years back shows we now have a drop in crime. Going back 11 & 28 yrs shows a massive drop in crime. Gun crimes are the major prob presently. |

Obviously the term "peer Review" is not patented, so there are peer reviews, and peer reviews. Any decent publication will review stuff before publication, and by publishing, are subjecting their work to peer review after. Yes, this is different from scientific peer review. |
