[QUOTE="Tcox, post: 2890195, member: 10058"] Regarding officers needing more training: I don't think that any profession could have enough training but ambushes are pretty tough no matter the level. Specifically in Dallas I think one of the bigger things to reduce loss for the street cops would be level 4 armor and rifles but a guy couldn't wear that stuff everyday all day, and even if they could the "demilitarization of police" crew would throw a fit. In MOST of the isolated shootings I don't see many issues with them. NO shooting is "perfect". It's human to be stressed the heck out in these situations no matter the level of training. For what it's worth, police worldwide have been involved in a lot of gunfights with some type of terrorists as of late. I think that demilitarization of police (or anyone including civilians) is a really bad idea. I know there are a number of guys who don't necessarily jump with joy to support our law enforcement, but there are a lot of really good men and women who need our support. I can imagine it being a very difficult for any officer to keep his/her morale up right now. [/QUOTE]
