113. Guess you didn't watch the video. There was no armed suspect.

There was a guy not operating on all cylinders trapped on a bus.

Not at all what your snark described.

But even if it were an armed suspect, wouldn't it be wise to take the time to access the situation, gain as much info as possible while waiting for back up, then decide if with going in with guns at the ready is the only course of action?

If the Cleveland cop had done that in the Tamir Rice case, he would have found that it was a 12-year-old boy playing in the park with a toy gun. He didn't, He went in with guns blazing and killed an innocent kid playing in the park, where kids should be playing.

I'm no trainer but even Stevie Wonder can see a wholesale new way of training is needed to for cops to learn how to deescalate situations instead of escalating them.

We've seen too often how going in with guns blazing can be reckless, but in this day and age of cell phone videos, bad decisions by cops get plastered all over the airwaves and the internet, resulting in bad PR for cops all over the country, and unfortunately, recent turn of events show retaliation towards cops is starting to happen. People aren't going to keep getting killed without some blowback happening.
