> Professional police officers know how to handle a weapon, and the best cops know how to de-escalate a tense situation These people have no fucking clue how retarded most cops are. Most of them are lucky to even know the name of the manufacturer of their firearm, let alone the caliber. Other than checking if they're able to hit a target at a couple of paces, they don't receive firearms training. Not only that, but we have testimony that Kyle successfully de-escalated other tense situations. We have video of him refusing to engage people looking to start a confrontation multiple times. You can't de-escalate a situation where a lunatic is chasing you and grabbing for your gun. You can't de-escalate when convicted felons are pointing loaded firearms at your face. How fucking delusional can you get?
