[QUOTE="donner, post: 2740079, member: 277"] I think the breakdown that often occurs in these situations is in separating the before from after. I think several people here hate the situation that many cops are put in before these things occur, but do not begrudge what happens afterwards. I.e. Wondering why there are 'license stops' but not taking issue with cops defending themselves once confronted. I think the prime example of this are the no-knock entires that have been discussed here in the past. When cops are asked to do this (and especially when they go to the wrong house), then they are put into a bad situation and probably could have been avoided. Is the homeowner at fault for responding to a break-in with force? Are the cops wrong for responding to an armed homeowner with force? Many of these things could seemingly be avoided if policies were changed or approaches altered. Though i'm sure some on OSA will disagree, but i think a cop's job is already hard enough. The focus should be on creating situations that have a higher chance for successful outcomes [/QUOTE]
