I don't think I commented on the former, and as for the latter, securing a perimeter at night requires a fire team, flares, and overwatch (range card optional).  Alone, I'm locking the doors and waiting for the cops.

What? You don't have a fire team and overwatch? I thought that was something everyone had.
Sometimes we carry more weight then we owe.
And sometimes goes on and on and on.

If that is the same story I heard about yesterday (how many deaf people are shot in traffic stops?), I heard the guy declined to pull over for multiple miles.  He wasn't shot as soon as he got out of the car, there was some sort of physical struggle before that.  He also had some sort of criminal history with violence, but I don't recall what was mentioned.  The point of what I heard was the narrative being reported in the media was not true.
That is same story. The ommision of those prior problems is surely an accident

It is much more powerful to seek Truth for one's self.  Seeing and hearing that others seem to have found it can be a motivation.  With me, I was drawn because of much error and bad judgment on my part. Confronting one's own errors and bad judgment is a very life altering situation.  Confronting the errors and bad judgment of others is usually hypocrisy.

I'd say not using terror porn "ZOMG you could be shot if you hesitate a split second!" training would be a good start. Probably a lot fewer deaf guys getting shot, non English speaking Indian grandpas pile driven into quadrapalegicy, and girls in diabetic comas tased.
After the spray-&-pray, "shoot them to the ground" firearms training, this is by biggest LEO training pet peeve.....

Plenty of other stuff in the local news, enough to make any thinking person be suspicious of the fuzz.
If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, go home from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or your arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that you were our countrymen.

Samuel Adams
