be very afraid of them ... they will shoot a mentally ill person, a racial minority (sometimes shoot a white person who is poor) ... it depends on the cop and not on any type of training. Cops think that they are going out to patrol in a lawless war zone. We pay our taxes for community policing not for corrections officers on the street.
