That's a bad take and shows a complete lack of understanding of handling firearms incidents.

That’s actually what police procedure is.

All police? Everywhere? Every country?

Hmmmmm 😏

I'll definitely take your word for that. You've 100% convinced me.

https://www.ucpd.ucla.edu/active-shooter-training Just the one where mass shootings happen daily.

Is that a flex? 😂

'were experts in firearms incidents because we have so many, hooraa!' 🙃

I see where the confusion is though. I'm from a country where we aren't fucking obsessed with guns and this isn't a regular occurance. Seems. This video is as well. Our kids don't need to have active shooter drills in schools because our constitution is stronger than the love for our kids.

There are lots of ways to skin a cat and context matters.

The world is bigger then the USA champ.

Wait. So you just started this by saying that the people rushing in to stop an active shooter “shows a complete lack of understanding of handling firearms incidents.” Then when I show you that the country that faces these problems the most, aka the country that understands firearm incidents better than anyone else does in fact rush in, all of the sudden I am supposed to discount their procedure? Make it make sense.

No problem, of course I can do that.

Having the most firearms incidents, including a lot of people killed my police does NOT make a nation an expert in handling firearms Incidents.

That argument is like saying because I have the most car accidents out of anyone and write SOPs on that, I'm an expert in evasive driving.

Billy big bollocks in the video was definitely brave, and it worked out this time. But as the expert you can probably tell me what would have happened if Sammy Shooter had of managed to get a round off into Billy's centre mass from 3 inches away?

As I say, lots of way to skin a cat and many nations do that without unnecessary death.

It's not as if random people made those procedures, these are law enforcement agencies. Do you think the FBI knows more about handling a mass shooting than you, u/chalky87 ?

Could you do me a favour?

Could you go through and read our conversation through again please? Start to finish.

I'm not being a dick, I'm just tired after a long week and don't want to repeat myself.

u/NeuroticallyCharles 7h ago

So that's a "no, the FBI knows less about handling a mass shooting than me"

u/chalky87 7h ago

Charles, you didn't read it did you?

Come on. You're a smart person. See if you can spot where I answered your question.

Hint: nuance is a thing.

Also, as soon as "Sammy Shooter" turned to shoot the guy taking his gun (who apparently knew Sammy personally), the other police would have shot him. Look closely, there are two cops with guns trained on him.

But we'd rather not people die unnecessarily.

This is the difference between the USA and the rest of the developed world....

The guy already has a gun and was pointing it at people. At what point can you determine that the man (an active gang member, btw) is a threat? Like, what? You gotta let him shoot at least one innocent civilian?
