Change Shoot to Kill Training
Change the way police officers are trained
Why is this important?
Stop the senseless killings...
I ask that you all stand with me to prevent another senseless act of violence... Removing the Shoot to Kill Law is a very necessary change that must take place. This change is in order to protect our citizens, families and anyone else who may fall under this scope. Many Law Enforcement Officers were taught Shoot to Kill during their training and are still being taught this harsh and Unjustified means of Murder.
I ask that this senseless law be Taken Under Consideration and changed to a Shoot to Wound. Amendment: (1) I ask that more thorough background investigations be conducted Semi Annually for each officer that is involved in a shooting. (2) I ask that all officers participate in a Mandatory Diverse Communications Training to be able to articulate and handle individuals from different Socio-economic backgrounds. (3) Officers need to be more open and easier to approach when conducting community policing. This will help build better relationships with the public. (4) I ask that the academy training be changed to Ninety Days in which each officer participates in a Thirty Day Ride Along in addition to the usual On The Job Training. (5) I also ask that any officer found to be bias or guilty of not adhering to the laws be immediately terminated and dismissed.
You took an Oath to uphold and obey the law at all times. This Oath needs to be protected and Honored. Each and every life counts. What if this were your son, daughter, husband, wife, sister or brother? Would you still think it was justified because your loved one didn't STOP and fall to the ground immediately? You are by law required to identify yourselves as police officers at the scene of any arrest just as we are required by law to carry identification. I ask the People to know and learn their rights as citizens. It's time to stop the violence...
