    one of the cop training courses promotes the idea that anyone with in like … 22 feet of you … has the potential to kill you.

    so anytime they get close to a person that is “unsecured” and could “pose a threat” they use a lot of ready positions like a deadly tennis player looking to beat the odds on serve.

    basically we are all perpetrators until proven otherwise.

      I actually took some training about crowd/prisoner management back when I was in the army preparing for a deployment. Turns out a guy with a knife out who runs at you can usually get within stabbing distance, before a gun is drawn, anywhere within about 22 feet (or so).

      If you assume everyone is out to get you because they’re all murdering criminals, then yeah, gotta keep your hand on your gun whenever they’re not social distancing enough. Fucking pigs.
