Second bolded makes a good argument for the first bolded. If we're going to justify shooting unarmed people because of feeling threatened, what's wrong with the training that makes officers think a guy holding a firearm in an active shooter situation is less of a threat that, say, a guy who shop lifted a bottle of vodka and gets shot in his car without ever brandishing a weapon?
The short of all this begins and ends with the same thing: training for LEOs is... for lack of a better term... whack. A slightly better term would be inconsistent.
Quote:Video of the armed 17-year-old walking toward armored police vehicles and Moretti’s police cruiser without being stopped went viral and was held up by many as an example of white privilege and racial bias in policing. After Rittenhouse was shooed away by police, his friend drove him back across state lines to Antioch, where he turned himself in to local authorities.
Moretti said Rittenhouse alternated between touching his weapon and raising his hands as he walked toward the squad car so they “weren’t quite sure” what Rittenhouse was doing. They yelled at him to “get out of the road” because he was blocking their way.
