BornFreeNowAgain Posted May 25 Share Posted May 25 Yeah this case is sickening. As we all know, only psychopaths are hired (or perhaps are willing) to be cops these days. But this beggars belief even for a psychopath. It shows that these psychopaths are not very well trained in combat, or for any of the situations they often encounter. How can you have a job where you go out to domestic and family violence, mental illness cases, dementia, and suicide, and yet these psychopaths have almost zero training in those things? I have worked in both the dementia and suicide fields and I can say that the cops have no clue how to approach and deal with either. I have heard cops shouting at people suicidal, all because they have no clue what they are doing. It is criminal that a cop does not have the combat/negotiation skills to deal with people who are frail, 95 and with dementia without use of a gun or taser. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
