I saw the news report about the shooting in Wisconsin: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J-PK8t8vtSM
I know that I do not have the disposition to deal with the intense situations police officers face. I know several police officers and I highly respect those who are called to serve in that capacity.
Given the short clip that was shown on television, there are several question that come to mind. Should police be called when dealing with a domestic situation? Could there be another division that deals with situations that involve high stakes emotional crossfire? What type of scenario training is provided within the training for police academy?
In terms of weapons, what happened to using the taser? Why isn't the taser the first option on a policeman's belt? What is the training officers receive in using a taser? Are there follow up sessions? Are there grading sessions to score how police men use tasers and their effectiveness in using the taser? What are the ways a taser can be used to incapacitate people?
