    That depends heavily on the job, in some cases being untrained means the employee might not even realise the job he is appointed to is dangerous.

    The military is super-clear on this. If your commanding officer tells you to execute a prisoner of war, and you do so, you've committed murder. That you were ordered to is not an excuse, and does not in any respect reduce your culpability. It just means your commanding officer is also going to face consequences.
    Not this simple. The military exemple means that a superior of the police officer asked him to shoot someone which is not the case. When militaries do collateral damage, they are rarely held accountable for it. As I said, not that simple as you make it out to be, as usual.

    You're hand-waving, because you don't want to admit to the base principles at play, which was the entire point of all this.

    You're just trying to argue that murderous cops should get a pass, because they're cops.

    I mean that doesnt stop them beating the shit out of the person afterward, they're cops after all.
    People charge at cops with knives all the time and don't get shot? I keep finding different stories of people being shot charging officers with a knife, but I am not finding officers not shooting who are being charged at with a knife. Can you find me some stories?

    The cops from the video dealt with it perfectly fine though. The assailant is taken down, the public safety is assured, the law is upheld. Another job done well. Your cops might have a different approach but it is the outcome that matters

    Before cops... no one dead... after cops... someone dead... call it “mission accomplished” it’s more appropriate.

    Cops... saving lives, one death at a time...

    Your statement is in direct contradiction with your signature. How surprising. Toodles.

    Before cops, a crazed armed man running amok. After cops, no one is threatening the neighbourhood anymore. Innocent people are saved

    He wasn't "running amok". He was on his front porch and his mother was with him. The cops had been to the house three times previously:

    Police said Walter Wallace Jr., 27, was wielding a knife and ignored orders to drop the weapon before officers fired shots Monday afternoon. But his parents said Tuesday night that officers knew their son was in a mental health crisis because they had been to the family’s house three times on Monday.

    Cathy Wallace, his mother, said one of the times, “they stood there and laughed at us.”
    Three times and they laughed and still didn't think to grab one of the officers with a TASER to come along with them for this ride? No. Fuck them and fuck you for trivializing this shit.

    If police resources are so stretched that they can't give everyone a TASER than they had better fucking ensure that at least one officer responding to calls like this has one. They don't say that nobody in the department has one, so obviously there were some available they could have assigned to this.

    There was no assault, and thus no "assailant".
    The public safety was destroyed, because officers killed a member of the public.
    There was no law being broken. Wallace's brother is the one who called 911, and he called for medical assistance and an ambulance, not police response because of any supposed crime.

    You're straight-up lying about the facts of the case.

    Literally 5 seconds youtube search:

    Trick is you have to include "UK" or another developed country name in your search.

    But go on, continue to try and appeal to authority. I feel confident in the reasonableness and rationality of my argument: that being mentally ill, and having a knife should not mean your death at the hands of state actors who are supposedly trained to de-escalate, and "protect and serve."

    Uh huh... sure, buddy.

    I'd like a number.

    As people talk about us living in a society that doesn’t have racism as a systemic problem it is good to remember.

    A white ex con is more likely to be hired than a black person without a record. A white person why a high school diploma is likely to make more than a black person with a bachelors.

    How does running amok, threaten the neighborhood? Did I save innocent people by not drinking and driving? Give me a fucking medal...
