Part 6: An Explanation

From the beginning of this blog, I’ve made one entry at a time.  A confluence of scheduling circumstances in coming days demands that if I’m going to get the whole promised series on the PERF recommendations for new police use of force guidelines presented here in a timely manner, I have to dump them all at once.

You will find them immediately below.

Have at it, folks.  Your comments are welcome.

And, please, read the comments from other viewers. In my “day jobs,” I’ve found truth in the old lawyers’ saying that “In the Halls of Justice, most of the justice is in the halls.”  I’ve likewise found that in the halls of training, much of the training is in the halls.  I’ve been to courses where I learned more from the other students than from the designated instructors.

Similarly, in the “bogs of blogs” some of the best learning and discussion points are found in the reader commentary.

Do not lose sight of the fact that if unrealistic expectations are morphed into police use of force standards, we can expect the same unrealistic demands to be made on armed citizens protecting themselves and their loved ones.

Oh, and did I mention that all opinions I’ve expressed here are mine alone, and do not necessarily reflect the policies of any organization, agency, or entity I have served with past or present?
