NT cops can I have a conversation with you?

Hi, how are you today?




I just have some questions maybe other will have some too.

What are your thoughts on cops training?

Can you explain this tackle thing to me?

What are the policies when it comes to tackling?

What are you taught when it comes to letting the assailant go?


If the assailant is not physically harming anyone do you have to restrain them?

Do you see any changes(good or bad) within your department in recent years?






Im asking these question with all respect in the world
Im just very confused and want to understand somethings.


I trust NT Cops because they like Sneakers and I trust people who like sneakers

Paging @HAWAII 5O.

I know there are only a handful here but even one answering some question is good.

Listen pigs are indoctrinated to protect the rich in sacrifice of the poor and undervalued part of this society.
I respect the idea of getting clarity but it's a mute point as their procedures,especially towards minorities , are much more extreme compared to their white counterparts.

It may not be on paper but thier Chiefs and sergeants and commissioners all insinuate acts of violence towards minorities. It's a fact.

Well maybe the NT cops will come and tell us, the problem starts with their formal and informal training so I think a conversation about their training cant hurt.

We have cops on NT?

I see you've never heard of or seen any of the sneaker scam post on here or any of the innocent killings at sneaker releases. I don't think they were over parking spots...

I'm just saying.

I remember one dude on here said him getting to ride around and play with guns was "fun"

******* pig.

I got no respect for the police. I respect the gun only.

Lotta you cops cause a lot of pain and suffering to familys on a daily basis.

Ive never met a cool cop in my life. I thought i did once when he let me go after i led him on a chase thru the hood in my whip, but i kept gettin a sense he was just tryna jack me for my valuables i had.

I got a dead homie cuz a cop ran him over.
I got a homie stitched up and his dog shot cuz of a cop.
I got a homie that got a cop dog sicked on him cuz he had a blunt in his ear.
I got people i grew up wit that been beat by cops.
I had dope planted on me by cops.
I been harrased by cops and thrown around by cops.

How come none of yall take responsibility for your own actions but yall expect us to own up to everything we do, and things we dont?

Yall know where yalls heart is when yall start the application of becoming a cop, why do yall go thru wit it?

What kind of man thinks his nuts grew bigger cuz he has a gun and badge? You weak in my eyes.

You feel that even tho theres is other ways to restrain certain individuals, the only.other option to handle that individual is by shooting them or beating them?

Why the **** are yall overweight? Square up wit me instead of shooting.

This will not end well

I'm not a cop but I had training with a Federal agency when I was seriously pursuing a law enforcement position, so take my words for what it's worth, though I have a few opinions.

What are your thoughts on cops training?

I was trained at the Federal level.  Cops you hear about on the news are usually county level law enforcement.  I've always wondered if there's any uniformity in training across different counties.  Plus, the job is hard.  Like, really stressful and hard.   I've listened to a few good podcast episodes from a LEO's point of view.  There was an episode of This American Life, and on the Joe Rogan Experience he spoke to a retired Baltimore police officer.  The officer on Rogan said there's no way he could do that job without his prior Marine training.  I can provide more info on these specific episodes if anyone really cares.

Also, they didn't really teach us how to fight.  We learned a little in a few months, but nothing really technical besides weapon retention (what to do in case someone tried to take your gun).  During training I thought I was learning something, but since then I've started taking Krav Maga and realized I didn't really know much.  I know a lot of cops do learn how to fight hand-to-hand on their own, though.

Can you explain this tackle thing to me?

If the suspect is not complying, the LEO gets physical.  Fairly straight forward I think.  I don't really have an answer for "the policies" as I was never an active LEO.  But from my training, if a suspect doesn't do you what the LEO says, at some point you need to get hands on and the struggle may go to the ground.  We were always taught to avoid going to the ground.

"What are you taught when it comes to letting the "suspect" go?"  I don't know what you mean by this.  A physical altercation would usually end in the suspect getting handcuffed.  If the LEO finds there's no laws being broken, the LEO just tells them to leave the scene.  I'm using the word "suspect" assuming the LEO has probable cause, and I don't have the time or means to describe what "probable cause" means.  That was a whole chapter and then some in our classroom training (basic training was 3 1/2 months, btw).

"If the suspect is not physically harming anyone do you have to restrain them?"  Not sure if you misworded this question.  LEO restrains the suspect if they're not complying.  That could mean not doing as the LEO says.  If the suspect is harming someone then yes, you must restrain and possibly use lethal force.  We were taught that if a suspect even has a knife or gun then lethal force (shooting them) is justified.

"Do you see any changes(good or bad) within your department in recent years?"  Again, I'm not a cop, but I was really close.  Got paid as a cop for a year and was dismissed before the end of training.   (I'm assuming cop means any level of law enforcement).  Having said that, I was around that work atmosphere, and it was different than any office job and some individuals were really into the whole "being-a-cop" thing.  Just my opinion: there are a lot of police departments must be doing some good, but they definitely have a public perception problem, and I don't think fixing that is on the top of their priority list.  You know, they're busy protecting and serving.  I think body cams  are a great idea if they stay on.  I think someone else recording them  when they're just doing they're job is pretty rude, but I get it.

One thing I will say in my training that instructors stressed to us that it was "better to be tried by 12 than carried by 6", meaning better to be judged in court than die on the job.  They showed us videos in which the use of violence may not have seem justified but when you get more info or see another camera angle, you totally see why firing your weapon may have been called for.  They told us stories of how a suspect can still be dangerous after you shoot them once, so once or twice wasn't enough,  Maybe a bit of brainwashing, but at the time I totally bought into the idea of shooting a suspect if it meant seeing my family and friends again.

Again, almost, but I'm not quite a cop or ever was.  I just think it's police brutality is tough issue for both sides. 

Thank you for answering

Let me give you a scenario

If you enter a store and you got a call saying that there was a male who was showing his genitals. You approach this man
based off the description of the dispatcher, when you approach him he does not want to talk to you and says he didnt do anything and is fully dressed.
He stands there with his hands visible and just keeps repeating "i dont want to talk to leave me alone" then he starts to walk away(not towards you) at the time you tell him to stop and he does not, at this time is it policy to tackle him or forcibly restrain him







"If the suspect is not physically harming anyone do you have to restrain them?"  Not sure if you misworded this question.  LEO restrains the suspect if they're not complying.  That could mean not doing as the LEO says.  If the suspect is harming someone then yes, you must restrain and possibly use lethal force.  We were taught that if a suspect even has a knife or gun then lethal force (shooting them) is justified."

In the scenario the "suspect" was not posing a threat he was not reaching for anything,
you wanted to speak to him but he was not compliant and walked away, at this time it is ok to physically detain him" grab, taze, tackle" him.

You're disturbing the peace. I'm gonna go ahead and write you a ticket.

Doozy dont try me

Police are trained to comply with something called the "force continuum." Basically means you should only use the amount of force that is necessary to give you an advantage in neutralizing an assailant. The big wild card is the amount of discretion police have (which is a ton). You give someone a gun and **** load of discretion, bad things tend to happen.
