Hang on to this take to make policing a bit less dangerous

Departments could have their officers start wearing less tactical uniforms, maybe blue shirt and pants. Maybe they could have the officers then walk around towns, visit local stores, go to town hall meetings to get to know the neighborhood. Maybe be seen doing some volunteering and helping the community out. You know have the officers be an upstanding citizen of the community that helps out. A person that the community trusts. They could also MAYBE just MAYYBEE be trained to de-escalate situations with negotiation tactics?

I know it’s a crazy idea, it’s never happened in the past. Remember we have always lived in an over militarized police state that shoots first and never asks questions.

Reno Police officer R. Jager, described in the filings as a rookie officer, arrived on scene and reviewed Killinger’s documentation. Killinger provided his driver’s license, a UPS payslip, and his vehicle registration. All documents matched his name and appearance.

Despite this, Jager accused Killinger of using fraudulent identification and suggested he had a connection inside the DMV to fabricate documents. In his police report, Jager claimed Killinger had “conflicting identification” and said he “lacked satisfactory evidence” to confirm his identity.

I think this cop has watched too many CBS police dramas. And I think this cop is stupid.

or maybe between 0 and 1. that way it would be easier to see if the topic that I’ve decided is super interesting and won’t shut up about is interesting to the to the other person as well. If I start seeing the number dropping quickly, time to change topics or just walk away.
