Dude, that moment in Half Life, when you're in the room with the gigantic tentacle/crab thing. And you realize that it's blind, and only hears. EPIC!!! A Quiet Place???

I live in the Twin Cities. Yanez was the officer who shot Philando Castile. PTSD could have had something to do with it, but I've always believed that it had far more to do with old fashioned racism and training which constantly stresses that everyone is out to hurt and kill you. Your friend even touched on this at the beginning. A big part of the training at Police Academy is watching dashcam videos where officers were hurt and killed. While safety is important, it also would lead one to conclude that deadly threats are around the corner at any time. My parents, far more middle of the road politically than I, were utterly furious when Yanez got off scot free. I remember my dad cursing at the computer when he saw the footage. There is even further evidence that police training teaches officers to view routine traffic stops in this manner. There is a local uproar over training they are doing right now (<a href="http://minnesota.cbslocal.com/2018/05/15/bulletproof-mpd-rcs/)." rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">http://minnesota.cbslocal.com/2018/05/15/bulletproof-mpd-rcs/).</a> I'm not here to bash cops, if anything, I'm trying to say these are systemic problems, deeply embedded in the institution. Let's talk facts. Being a police officer is not that dangerous statistically. Year after year the two most dangerous occupations are commercial fisherman and logger. Police officers often don't make the top 20. This siege mentality is the problem. An interesting development, a black cop shot an unarmed white woman in the Twin Cities a while ago and now that the racial roles are reversed, it's starting to look like he might get jail time. It's funny how the definition of "reasonable" changes when things are turned around. <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2018/03/20/us/minneapolis-police-shooting-justine-damond.html" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://www.nytimes.com/2018/03/20/us/minneapolis-police-shooting-justine-damond.html</a> Sorry to rant, but it's an issue I feel strongly about.
