THE BIGGER MAN

This pretty much confirms what I believe. Modern police training is abominable. And reckless and totally contrary to your real function, to protect and serve. Cops are being trained that they are at war with the Citizen.

Police, you are not at fucking war with the Citizen. You're supposed to be serving him. Drawing your weapon and shooting unarmed, peaceful men before they present themselves as threats is utterly inexcusable and entirely unmanly. AND ENTIRELY UNMANLY. Do you understand what that means? I say this as a man who is usually sympathetic to the police.

You could have killed this man for complying with your request.

YOU MUST BE BIGGER THAN YOUR TRAINING. If not you are smaller than yourself.

You keep killing your own cause, and sometimes innocent men. But in the end you must control yourself first, son. No one else.

Manhood requires far more than being a trained automaton. Your job is to protect the innocent from danger, not to become dangerous to the innocent.

If you do not realize this then who will? And how can any amount of training prepare you for recklessly and impulsively shooting the innocent?

It is well past time to change my friends. For your sake as much as anyone's.
