[QUOTE="Glocktogo, post: 1592726, member: 1132"] You've misinterpeted the rule then. It does not place the officers life above the citizen. It directly correlates to the emergency 1st responder's #1 rule, "don't become a victim". It's a matter of remembering officer safety and not taking things for granted. There are studies that show "officer friendly" has a proportionally greater likelihood of getting killed by an offender. It's not because he's too friendly, but because he doesn't prioritize his own safety. He's also slow to project authority and issue directives in a command voice when necessary. We can always de-escalate once we have control over a situation. It's much more difficult to come from behind on the OODA loop and regain control. As for the parts I've bolded, working as a LEO is a continuous exercise in risk assessment. An officer may be expected to risk his life, but not foolishly so. I'm not sure how you come to the conclusion that the rule is overused. We've already had 112 officers killed in the line of duty this year, 46 by gunfire. That's up quite a bit from this time last year. In light of that, you might reconsider being so cavalier about the rule being overused. :( [/QUOTE]
