Ever wonder why Police Unions are not for stricter gun regulations?

The Robb Elementary School shooting was a perfect example of the Police being afraid to challenge anyone with an AR15.

They need to recruit thinkers and to do that the bar has to be higher than a high school diploma. We are giving guns and badges away to people that never had the fortitude to stick with furthering their education. Out here with all the overtime six figures is not unusual so can they be blamed for not attempting to enrich them selves with knowledge that could possibly save a life by not taking one. Last thought on today’s police. Being an avid shooter for over thirty five years it amazes me how poor they shoot. I have about a dozen people most I grew up with who are in law enforcement. More then half are on pins and needles when qualifying comes around. Really. Sad state of affairs with today’s police officers

@enjoyingitnow you do realize that many departments are requiring officers to have a 4 year degree now?
In all actuality they need less thinking and more tactical and meat eaters!

@enjoyingitnow You might want to look in to the requirements for being a cop. You're more accurate when it comes to troops. And I'll bet in your 35 years of shooting you never had someone shooting back at you, right?

@Ynotisay @Ynotisay you would lose and I am saying back when most most if not all recruits had high school Diplomas and that’s when it started until all that old guard is gone and that would be difficult because that shoot first ask questions later culture is past down to recruits. I don’t want to get into a back and forth with you guys but if you were upset by me stating a fact
As I know them then that’s on you. I wonder do you need a degree to make a group like S W A T. Or similar divisions? If so that could be why they are considered a cut above the rest?
@enjoyingitnow Uvalde had a SWAT team. They didn't help those kids. They have a 9 member SWAT team for a town of 16000, WTF is really going on in that town.
