Why officers are so worried these days, even for seemingly mundane calls.
Deputy killed, 6 injured after shots fired in Denver suburb - CNN
Anti cop bias masquerading as concern about training.
Only idiots blame police issues as "concerns about training". It's the insane liberal idea that if they'd just done a few more hours of sensitivity training, we wouldn't have as many issues.
If you want to solve the problem, double the pay, cut the force by 75%, and increase the standards for becoming a cop. Stop accepting room temperature iqs.
And most importantly, privatize the police force so every time these idiots get sued, it doesn't come out of my pocket.
You have no idea how police work is done. None
Who transports the mentally ill from a general hospital to a mental facility?
Who goes to unattended death scenes?
Who works accidents?
Who does traffic direction when a red light stops working or when Green Day comes to town?
Who tracks the Sex Offenders?
Who rescues people in natural disasters?
The list goes on and on.
Police work isnt just busting punks with a sack of bud (although it's so fun).

Great. Let's end the drug war, unconstitutional road blocks, and the extortion that we call traffic law, and they'll have plenty of time for all of that.

Again you show your ignorance of police work. I would say the city of Atlanta expends under 5% of their force to dedicated narcotics work. Road blocks make up less than .001%. Traffic laws are generally officers doing work between calls unless they're assigned to a traffic division.
I don't understand why the guy who got swatted was also gunned down. I don't understand why cops in Georgia threw a flash grenade into an infant's crib and didn't have to cover any of the child's medical expenses. I think no-knock raids...and really, the militarization of police are getting to be civil rights issues.
5% for narcotics? That means a town employing 20 officers could save 30k a year. Probably closer to 40-50 after you consider benefits and vehicle cost.
A town with 20 cops would not be likely to have a narcotics division.
You know what you should do between calls? Wait at the station. Stop wasting gas money to harass citizens.
Citizens call the police. Gas is cheap, most citizens welcome seeing police in their neighborhood. Response times are usually faster if resources are deployed.
While we are talking about saving money:
Drive to work like every everyone else.
