Point blank, cops shouldn’t have swat gear or be treated as a paramilitary group. They’re supposed to protect and serve. Cops shouldn’t be a tactical force, they should be public servants.
I agree, however I could argue there are times when having a tactical force IS the public service. Not saying the pic posted would be one of those times though
Then send in a tactical unit for those situations that is specifically trained for the situation. We’ve seen how police handle those situations and I really don’t feel like escalation is the best approach for guys who can’t be bothered to do their job in the first place, let alone be properly trained and ready for a tactical de-escalation. Fuck off with the excuses for these fucking pigs.
Okay so ordinary police are out. You're in charge of this new tactical unit, what does it look like? Where is the line between a ordinary response and a tactical response? What gear/technologies would they have as default and what would they have access to?
I'm not trying to be a dick, I'm truly curious because if we want reform we have to have a goal to reach. Change is cool but change to what?
