Does the US cops get pep talk from Batman before going on asignments?

Feels like that atleast, So many times i've heard about cops getting called to help yet, somehow they end up shooting the guy they were sent to help.

Edit: I'm talking about unarmed people here ofc, those who are lying on the ground or otherwise in no way to be in a situation where deadly force would be needed

It all comes down to cops being afraid to die.

Say you're a cop and you get a call that a man armed with a gun is causing a disturbance at an apartment complex. If you're afraid to die this is going to make you very nervous.

If you are a very brave cop, you might talk to the armed man without pulling your gun, ask him what his problem is, ask him to put his gun down. But in doing this you are risking your life, you might never see your wife and kids again.

If you don't want to get killed, obey the police.

Sorry but this is the reality of police. If you don't give them completely control of the situation, they will make you give them complete control of the situation.

What I find interesting is that police are more willing to use deadly force when they're equipped with bodycams because they know they can justify their actions.

Batman and copperboy!

Well, I'm refering to the sister who called the cops to help her mentally ill brother or the guy that was lying on the ground with his hands up. Both were unarmed.

Not talking about situations where they were called to hostile scenes, Just stuff when people call to help with something yet they or someone else gets shot out of nowhere

No they get it from Superman.....

I kid

But really this is a stupid thread, you always hear the bad shit over the good because the good doesn't give good ratings.

This just In...Shit happens.

Find out if water is still wet tonight at 11 bob.

Your making a few rare instances out of the hundreds of thousand on interactions weekly sound like it happens much more often. It doesn't

I don't live in the US, But i follow news channels and it feels like there are new police shootings all the time.

Yep because news channels want to make you feel that way, once again it gets them ratings.

There is 350 million+ people in the US. Now compare the people shot by police over the course of a year to that number and see how small a % it is.

You almost make it sound as if the majority of people in this country are constantly being indoctrinated by propaganda from the corporate media.

I don't live in the ME but every time i turn on the news it makes it sound like a muslim is being a terrorist....see how that works?

@TheBatman

Do you?

[Pony Soldier]

Batman is the worst example to use here. Batman is totally against killing people even the worst criminals. If anything he'd get the cops' act together and root out all the idiot ones.

I think you need to take a look at actual statistics before you go with the liberal mantra you see on the DNC controlled networks. You'd be surprised how rare it is ocmpared to how many cases/calls officers respond too in a country of 320 million people.

Rare compared to what? Nations that are in a civil war?

[ParanoiD84]

How many cops are there in the us, one million something? nuff said it's the media brainwashing people into thinking all cops are bad.

I thought people knew better then to trust the media.

[Mistame]

So you started a thread about a topic that already has a thread just to bash US cops?

Batman

Ahem. "Fatman"

[trifeqt]

When you grow up, hopefully you'll be able to put yourself in the cops shoes and become more sympathetic to their situation.

I wonder if you would also bash a firefighter for being afraid of getting burned alive every once in a while?

You would be too afraid to get out of the car, let alone walk up and try to diffuse a chaotic situation on the street involving potentially dangerous strangers.

Yawn

Batman travels the country visiting the police at least once a year.

Happens one time... SO MANY TIMES!

What about the other 99.999999% of the time when cops do their job right? Why does nobody take note of that?
