    Weird, I want cops to not strangle someone because they may have used a fake bill, or shoot someone because they were called there to help with a mental health crisis, or shoot someone because they busted into the wrong apartment, or to flash bang a baby.

    But I suppose that means I want them to be kind to someone actively shooting kids.

        I’m whooshing on this one :)

        But as far as know, nothing in the cop rule book says an anaconda can’t be a cop.

      The training sets up the mindset of the cops.

      I don’t believe any cop should get advanced weapon training unless they’re explicitly assigned to SWAT and/or Riot control. And normal beat cops honestly don’t deal with hyperviolent people often enough to deserve the mindshift or the training for violence.
