Want to read something disgusting/disturbing - A police trainer




Dave Grossman's "Bulletproof Mind" is teaching law enforcement agencies across the United States militarized tactics in which officers are told to see themselves as "at war" on the streets.
The retired Army ranger and former West Point instructor has been teaching his classes for more than two decades.
He focuses on a concept he's dubbed "killology," or the study of killing, and uses it to teach officers to kill with less hesitation.

One of America's top police trainers is teaching officers to be "emotionally, spiritually, psychologically" prepared to kill people on the job.

If you're prepared to kill, Dave Grossman, says, it's "just not that big of a deal."


"I am convinced from a lifetime of study, if you fully prepare yourself, in most cases killing is just not that big of a deal. For a mature warrior who has prepared their self's mind, body and spirit for a lifetime, for a mature warrior whose killing represents a clear and present danger to others, it's just not that big of a deal," Grossman said in 2015, while speaking in front of a group in a segment filmed for the 2016 police militarization documentary "Do Not Resist."

Grossman also enticed his audience by noting that killing can lead to great sex.

"Both partners are very invested in some very intense sex. There's not a whole lot of perks that come with this job. You find one, relax and enjoy it," he said in the same course.

Agencies have started turning away from the courses in recent years, after it was discovered the Minnesota police officer who fatally shot Philando Castile had taken one of Grossman's courses.

We as a nation alongside cops have been desensitized ,by death shows on tv,by rightwingers agenda, by school shootings, police brutality, war and the violence of abuse and more.

Including so many shows and movies that glorify redemptive violence.
