If you don't hit your husband/wife, how can you be trusted to shoot a dog kid criminal? ^^/s

You joke, but I watched a documentary about police training in utah; and the trainer literally said "if you can't shoot a grandma or a little kid who has a gun, you need to find another job." It was so insane.

They also pretty much tell you to assume every kid and grandma has a gun. Plus qualified immunity makes the response to that assumption pretty safe (for a cop using lethal force), even if he’s wrong

If a cop does a bad shoot, they just plant a gun next to the body.
