KCSO Deputy James M. Schirnglone, 43, is accused in a Gatlinburg Police Department report of a slew of crimes – vandalism, assault, disorderly conduct, public intoxication – in an incident at a bar in that city Monday.
It’s not clear why, but Gatlinburg police allowed Schirnglone to leave.

A violent night in Nashville has left one person dead, others injured and several gunmen on the loose.

When the point is reached that the only condition for deadly force is the objectively reasonable fear of the officer, then there will be few if any limits on when a cop can kill.
Once that rubicon is crossed it will be bad for everyone.
Look at it this way, for a cop it is easy to manufacture an explanation for fear, particularly when there is the random ambush of officers happening out there.
But contrary to the deeply held belief by us all about threats to cops, there is risk out there. When someone chooses to be a police officer, he assumes that risk. That’s his choice. The rest of the public isn't given that option.

A co worker of mine snapped one up yesterday!
The trigger on it is amazing, best on a off the shelf revolver I've ever felt. Accurate and the weight handles recoil well. It's about twice as heavy as my 360PD. Grips look huge in pics but in real life they aren't as bad as they seem.

Is this something new rolled into the HCP course. Honestly I took mine so long ago I don't remember them discussing this.

PHOENIX (AP) — Gun-friendly Arizona is trying to avoid deadly encounters between police and people behind the wheel by teaching armed drivers how they should handle themselves when they are pulled over.
Lawmakers in Tennessee, Virginia and Illinois have enacted laws over the last year that require driver education courses to teach people how to react when they are pulled over. Unlike the guidelines published in Arizona, none of the laws explicitly mentions what to do when armed motorists are stopped.

Additionally, Rowan Beard of Young Pioneer Tours, told the BBC the embassy was urging all US nationals to depart immediately. He said the embassy was trying to check on the number of US tourists left in the country.
For now there has been no official confirmation from the US: the state department continues to have an alert dated 9 May strongly warning US citizens not to travel to North Korea.
As the BBC adds, there has been movement towards a ban for a while in the US, which increased with the Warmbier death.

Honestly 95% of people are not smart enough to think about such contingencies.
Businesses don't care about anything but the money. Prime example was the bankers who were throwing million dollar parties the week the economy imploded.

This may be comparing apples to oranges, but I spent my time in the military and Gulf War as an MP.
Like our civilian counterparts, many soldiers hated our guts. On a daily basis we interacted with guys who could thrash us in the blink of an eye.
There are exceptions to every rule, but I believe that our civilian counterparts could stand to learn better interpersonal and communication skills, and require frequent refreshers on the escalation of force.
As an MP, knowing that almost everyone that you interact with on a daily basis is as well or better trained to kill forces you to attempt to de-escalate every intervention.
Daily I see videos where cops escalate a situation because someone bruises their ego. That being said, whether we like it or not, I feel that it's always best to be in total compliance with the officer even if you feel he is wrong.
Fight your battle in the courtroom, not the roadside.
You make wonderful points, but as a coworker of mine pointed out recently while we were discussing this incident. He rightful said you can't win the roadside fight but the public increasingly can't win in court either.
Criminal jury conviction rates these days are near above 90% in all cases. Bench trial conviction rates are even higher.

It’s been awhile since I was in the academy, but I do recall that theft of property over $10,000 is a class C felony in Tennessee...
So how’s this cat keeping his guns?
And he gets to keep his $6,000 a month pension...
