In reply to the discussion: The Minnesota shooting is the lead story [View all]The Velveteen Ocelot
(122,773 posts)40. OK, that makes sense. They are all pretty small burbs,
makes sense to pool resources. Minnesota's POST training program theoretically is pretty good, but who knows how much OTJ experience and training cops get in small suburbs, especially in dealing with PoC? When I lived in Falcon Heights it was almost entirely white, but that was a long time ago. So far it looks like this particular cop totally lost his shit, completely panicked. Stay tuned, this is one of the ugliest situations yet.
