re: Florida deputy fatally shot US airman that answered the door with a gun

I agree. I think it’s past time to have that conversation. Outside of graduating in Criminal Justice I don’t really have law enforcement experience. I’m a military guy so anything I say has limited knowledge on the topic.

In my eyes, if a certain call is the most dangerous for law enforcement, then sending one guy to the call to go bang on the door probably isn’t the best idea for either party.

I mean can we issue these guys ballistic shields where they can knock and then take cover and create some distance between themselves and the perceived threat? I’m not watching the video bc I have seen enough of that shite, but from the screenshots it looks like there was no distance to be able to allow calmer heads to prevail.

I dunno what the answer is and I support law enforcement, but this can’t happen.
