To Shoot Or Not To Shoot, That Is The--Oops, You're Dead
Please, check out the "Why do Police shoot unarmed citizens?" video included with the article.
Me dino played a "shoot--don't shoot" game with a video as part of my handgun training at the Department of Corrections Academy in Selma, AL, during March-April, 1982.
The video contained all sorts of situations in which a police officer had to decide whether or not to shoot, and my class of 82-2 was told to point a finger and say "bang" when we each felt threatened.
I have a confession. I'm haunted to this day of a grinning young Hispanic guy, who failed to follow the audio of a police officer's instructions. He quickly reached behind his back and began something into sight. I was about the only trainee in the room who barked a "Bang!" before I read a hand-held sign which stated "I AM DEAF."
Unforgettable! He wasn't the first guy I ever shot a finger at, but up to then it had never been the index one.
