I wonder how many of these experts on these panel discussions who are saying how LE should handle this stop also has expert training in how to handle an encounter with a special needs individual, or a wired crackhead, or a potentially violent person with an outstanding warrant, or a mentally disturbed person, or a potential drug dealer, or any other of the widely varying interactions they have with the public. I don't normally defend the police, but with what they are expected to be perfect at handling they should be the highest paid workers in the country.
That's true. It's all in retrospect that we are able to see signs and pick up clues that the officers missed.
In reality, DV happens on a near-daily basis for these guys and very, VERY rarely does it ever escalate to murder within a few days or weeks.
Now, we're hearing from GB's friends who also saw signs. Hindsight is always 20:20.
