There are few things in life I think in order to speak on you have to have done it.....life or death situations is one. I worry that everyone has become an expert on LE operating procedures and thinks that they know what a person should ,or shouldn't, be able to do in these situations. If it is former LEO making these decisions on what "better" ways they should be handled that is fine, if it is someone who has no clue what is reasonable to expect in those situations than I think we are setting ourselves up to be in a worse place going forward.

Everyone should be involved. Police, activists, you, me.

For example my boss has worked in our industry, and only our industry for 40 some years.  He has very clear cut ideas about what it the "right" way to do things because he has immense experience in the field.

And he is often quite wrong.

Mainly because he has no experience in sales OUTSIDE of our industry which I and my other boss both have.

Should we not offer changes or suggestions because he is an "expert"?

I don't think so.  

Every time we do a safety walk though I try to take a new person with us because new eyes see new things.

Unfortunately no one ever wants to be told they are wrong these days so they resist any outside information that may suggest that.

Even if they are right in the end they fight the challenge just in case.
