Officer Deaths and Serious Injury Up in 2011
From DTIQUIPS Jan 25 2011
Already this year, officer deaths via criminal violence are way up from
previous years. Some of it is probably just coincidence, but some of it is
due to inappropriate use of "less-lethal" techniques and instrumentalities.
I actively recommend Tasers and believe that every officer should carry
one. OC, bean-bags, and other "less-lethal" options also represent real
advances in modern police work. Verbal commands and hands-on techniques
have their place too.
But, it strikes me that some of us are getting all this mixed up!
Tasers are for obnoxious drunks and non-compliant, even mildly combative,
suspects. Tasers are particularly useful when the alternative is
injury-generating, physical contact. However, neither Tasers, nor even verbal
commands, are appropriate for gun-wielding, active murderers! Such imminent,
direct threats need to be neutralized via gunfire, immediately.
Sometimes, all those choices slows a officer's response. They shouldn't!
On television, we see episode after episode of "crime drama," where actors
portraying police officers routinely expose themselves to suicidal risk in
order to avoid harming the poor, misunderstood, gun-wielding criminal.
This all makes great drama, I suppose, but it represents poor tactics. Real
police who imitate it, and the public who has been brainwashed to expect
it, are both in for a rude dose of reality!
Back in the days of black-and-white television, I remember Roy Rogers and
Gene Autry shooting guns out of the hands of bad guys, with monotonous
regularity. Today's television dramas are doing exactly the same thing! I'm
sure network executives make a nice living, then and now, pumping this
sewage over the wire, but the unrealistic expectations it generates do us no
good service.
We are at a crossroads: We're either going to see more dead suspects, or
more dead police officers. It will be one or the other! We need to start
shooting actively violent criminals, when appropriate, without hesitation,
and without apology!
To be sure, "less-lethal" has its place, but not when someone is
threatening you with a gun, or other lethal weapon.
In case you missed it, death is "one-way!"
POLICE GUN FIGHT CHAOS
Why adaptive training (and not target shooting) is of utmost importance
for actual gunfights. Never count on anything.....you may have to use everything.
Cover, speed, mobility, precision, LUCK.

THE GUIDED CHAOS WEAPONS SERIES:
PART 4: BARE HANDS TO HANDGUNS
From the military to civilians and even the police-- knife, gun and stick fighting is often taught unrealistically. Based on the brutal, bloody, forensic homicide research of former detective John Perkins plus Perkins' over 100 seriously violent arrests, this comprehensive 4 part DVD series separates film fantasy from forensic fact and dojo delusions from real combat.
AND ON THE LIGHTER SIDE...

Psychiatrists vs. Bartenders
Ever since I was a child, I've always had a fear that someone
was hiding under my bed at night. So I went to a shrink and told him:
"I've got problems. Every time I go to bed I think there's
somebody under it. I'm scared. I think I'm going crazy."
"Just put yourself in my hands for one year,' said the
shrink. 'Come talk to me three times a week and we should be able to get rid
of those fears..'
"How much do you charge?'
"Eighty dollars per visit,' replied the doctor.
"I'll sleep on it,' I said.
Six months later the doctor met me on the street. 'Why
didn't you come to see me about those fears you were having?' he asked.
"Well, Eighty bucks a visit three times a week for a year
is an awful lot of money! A bartender cured me for $10. I was so happy to
have saved all that money that I went and bought me a new pickup!'
"Is that so!' With a bit of an attitude he said, 'and how,
may I ask, did a bartender cure you?'
"He told me to cut the legs off the bed! - Ain't nobody
under there now!!!'
