This article is a couple of months old, but I hadn’t heard about this before. Maybe you, like me, have been wondering why so many police use deadly force right away, instead of assessing the situation and being more reasonable.

When it comes to teaching cops how to escalate, how to see the world as their enemy and how to find the courage to kill more people, more often, there’s no shortage of options. (The syllabus for one of these courses includes a page of Bible verses relating to when it’s moral and just to kill.) It’s part and parcel with the pseudoscience churned out by William Lewinski at the Force Science Institute in Minnesota, who also preaches that cops should learn to become more lethal (and will testify in court for any cop who takes his advice).
They’re training them to be like this. How are we supposed to fight against this with “sensitivity” training?
This is the guy who has trained more U.S. police officers than anyone else. The guy who, more than anyone else, has instructed cops on what mind-set they should bring to their jobs.
My son sent me the link to this article, and I am horrified.
