this isn't proof that training officers to "Shoot to kill" is affecting their judgment, I don't know what is! If

258 fatalities reported
01/11/2011 Officer Ian Birk's own testimony today is proof positive training is the problem.
"Shoot to kill" is a travesty and a tragedy for many. We are all guaranteed due process, not death.
We are training officers to be killers. This blurs the line between right and wrong, affecting judgement. The only good preps a dead prep, right guys?More proof its, shoot dead, vaguely answer questions about the shoot later.
Isn't it obvious? The shoot to kill Black males mentality starts here. Look at the targets, shoot to kill and a black man! Day after day, round after practice round, shoot at and kill black men! This is where we initiate a fundamental change. Not just shoot to wound to save lives but to change the institutionalized racism of our brave men and women in blue. It's not their fault.
Contact and present this idea to city council members, police chiefs, AG's and your political representatives. Make them see the light. Convince them that changing something as simple as a training target, can and will save lives. Change the policemen mindset and all of the above statistics will reduce significantly. The abuse or life you save may be your own or that of a loved one. Tweet, e-mail, Facebook anybody and everybody. Take our cause nationwide!
Why do they do this? What could be the cause? Why the mindset?
Do you need more proof
When you are subconsciously programed to end a life. The results are telling
