If we truly want Black Lives to Matter, #secondamendment advocates and #bluelivesmatter supporters must deeply reflect on police shootings.
I have studied police training and there is something of serious concern which I haven't seen discussed by the media. If a #lawenforcement officer is trained to start shooting whenever their peers yells out loud GUN then we have a major societal problem. The proper training would call for the officers to yell THREAT which should cause other officers to have to think before pulling the trigger. shot.
On July 6, 2016, Philando Castile,[a] a 32-year-old African American man, was fatally shot during a traffic stop by police officer Jeronimo Yanez of the St. Anthony police department in the Minneapolis–Saint Paul metropolitan area.
About 9 p.m., Castile was driving with his girlfriend, Diamond Reynolds, and her four-year-old daughter, when he was pulled over by Yanez and another officer in Falcon Heights, a suburb of Saint Paul, Minnesota.[3][4] Castile, who was licensed to carry a firearm, told Yanez that he had a firearm. He would still be alive today.

7 个月I will reflect on the police shootings when you reflect on the shootings and deadly assaults of police officers. If you truly want to understand, I urge you to commit to a ride along with multiple agencies. Highway Patrol, Sheriff’s Department, City Police, see what they face every day. There isn’t training enough that will prepare them for every scenario. Have a great day!
