I suppose that if you would witness a person expire while under the care of a physician, that your expert testimony in medicine, just as such testimony in LE, would be beyond repute, and completely admissible within a competent legal proceeding as such.
This is not to state that such witness testimony cannot be utilized, far from it. However, there is a difference between a layman witnessing an act and its subsequent outcome, and having some degree of expertise in the execution of such. There is a difference in offering an opinion upon a subject, and stating a certainty beyond one's qualification to do so.
Your statement is reminiscent of medical journals that offer "expert" scientific opinion of the likelihood of the morbidity and mortality of firearms ownership. This is also be comparable to the NRA and GOA publishing a treatises upon Cardiothoracic surgery.
Wrong. My statement is reminiscent of the general public recognizing that people are dying while doctors actively take advantage of them through malpractice & overcharging & calling for the government to do something about the abuses.
Please don't treat us non-LEO's as if we're too stupid to see injustice when it stares (or slaps) us in the face. That's one good thing about our Founders. They wrote the Constitution in fairly plain language (of the time) so that the average person could read it relatively easily & understand their rights.
They weren't looking to enhance the power of the government over the people. They wanted to ensure that the people retained control over our government, including the police.
So who, in your wisdom, should be the party to exert oversight on the police? Other police? That would be like leaving the proverbial wolf in charge of the henhouse.
Correct. I stopped performing such work 6 years ago, and I haven't participated in any necessary CE to maintain the credentials either.
Then my statement about having scary ideas for a cop stands. Even if not you, the ideas you promote are not isolated to you. They are systemic. That's the dangerous thing.
I imagine that assigning someone the title of troll would be particularly offensive to you, as you now appear to cross that particular line regularly. However, as I'm not the first to bestow the title upon anyone and not be called out for such use, I imagine that most don't consider such to be an attack when the truth is fairly obvious.
How many other people who disagree with you are you going to label as "troll"?
