What you've said sounds like solid parenting based your beliefs and experiences. You pass that on to your children. What he said sounds like continuous drivel of someone who got his feelings hurt and can't let it go. Agreed. I'd go to the wall for NHK9 and his family, not so much for Curdog and his 1/2 dozen ex-wives

Teach your kids the truth....... The Police are not your friend. They don’t trust you and you should not trust them.
This is the single most rediculous statement I've ever read on this site. It's very clear that you have an axe to grind and never miss an opportunity to do it. But what in hell qualifies you to tell everyone what they should teach their kids? Don't bother answering. In reality, what's wrong with that advice? I've taught my son to be respectful towards all, including the police. He likely trusts the vast majority he's met locally because they're known to me/him. He's also well aware of more than a few locally that aren't to be trusted under any circumstances. George George, at least three other Campfire cops have expressed agreement the statement as well. It’s no different than your insurance card that tells you not to volunteer information to LE after a traffic accident. My nine year old shirttail granddaughter who lives next door just came over for a visit and cookies. The County Sheriff is another of her shirttail grandpas so, of course, she trusts him as she should. But , for someone you know ONLY as a cop, they should not be considered your friend.

I used to trust everyone. Where I grew up, so did I (for the most part). Then I turned 10ish.......... ☺ Laffin.

One in 323,000 US citizens was shot and killed by the police in 2017.

They could've also been nicer in what they said and how they said it. Instead of saying, "Drop the [bleep] gun!" they could have said, "I understand you're not a dirtbag and everyone has problems, so now please, pretty please, set down your weapon and let's talk about what has you so upset."

Also if they previously worked in a major jail or prison and learned how to clear weapons as one of their team oriented skill sets, there might be a few less accidental discharges by new cops that "scare" some non pre-c/o cops. Could probably get that number down to 1 in 4,500,002 ± 1 or 2. NYH1.

Sounds like a departmental training issue.

No argument here. Ten years in a correctional facility would give the dumbasses a chance to get fired or indicted before they worked with the public. Of course, that would put people around thirty years of age before they were eligible to learn a new job and almost every department has trouble hiring as it is.

"Team tactics and equipment to subdue an inmate with a weapon do work, and we did them quite often in the facility I worked at..."
How does that work when it's 2:00 A.M. and you're alone with a violent pissed off drunken/tweaking ex-con with back up 20+ minutes away? And that back up guy ain't no team and he isn't hauling any specialized equipment either.
Now, that guy is getting shot. I'm glad I never had to deal with a violent offender more than 5 minutes by myself. kwg
For liberals and anarchists, power and control is opium, selling envy is the fastest and easiest way to get it. TRR. American conservative. Never trust a white liberal. Malcom X Current NRA member.

Don't blame me. I voted for Trump.
