1. So sad-- he's just a kid-- skinny arms

Glad the people there cared, and he felt their caring and let them guide him.

2. How many hours do they spend at the firing

range even though most LEOs will never draw their weapon? How many hours do they spend practicing deescalation techniques that they will need to use on a daily basis? Listen to the audio of Capt Sully landing his plane. No stress because he practiced that over and over and over so when it happened he was ready.

3. The police normally get very little firearms training, according to the trainers.

Maybe a week at the academy, 1-2 days a year for annual qualifications.
Departments do not want to spend the money.
Only a small percentage of cops will spend their own time and money on gun training and practice.

Most likely any deescalation training gets noticeably less training time, if any.

4. It was fortunate that the cops

Didn’t accuse the fella of interfering with an arrest.

This was not a typical scenario.

These LEO’s were not raging and were using their heads instead of their guns.
