A lot of departments certainly don't elevate training when it comes to firearms. But it's not always from lack of wanting, it's often from budget problems and/or decisions by useless administrations. Often composed of DEI hires.
How do you know he didn't have a backup gun?
He’s not trying ? Dude, in the last hour and a half there is a masterclass in use of force law you completely glossed over.
It is, but a captain I know breaks it down this way. The top third trains, even on their own dime, out of ambition to be good at their job. The middle third trains enough to be competent. The bottom third are given their job even though they aren’t competent.
The creepy dude supported illegal immigration and was anti-ICE, that’s all that matters to shitlibs.
It's a mindset, but as time goes on and the career wears you down, the voluntary training can wane. I guess it depends on the size, location and demands of each department.
Facts are going to fuck up his fantasy narrative.
We going in circles. Yeah he probably didn’t deserve to die. But he took steps knowing he was risking his life. He gambled and he lost.
Maybe not. We will see. But your constant theatrics about these incidents are sad and humorous.

A good captain puts the right people in the right jobs. And there probably aren’t enough administrative or low incident positions to put people who are no longer fit for that type of duty in. And not enough younger people interested in the job anymore since they may end up having to spend their life savings defending themselves if they shoot some bro who was trying to kill them.
If the department is big enough, Captains have no say so in the hiring process. Captain of a recruiting unit, yes but the Chief has the final say.
Usually the chief has no say in the hiring process. Mayors and police boards do it. Which is a big part of the problem.
If we’re gonna play the “shoulda” game, he shoulda left his firearm at home.
This is reddit logic.
Especially after we now know that he was in a confrontation with them days earlier and ended up with some rib injuries then, yet he chose to come back armed. Poor dumbass..
