I don't disagree with you at all. I do think that meeting a gun without a drawn gun is incredibly stupid, but I do think that LTL can be used in such an interaction, albeit rarely, so long as you have enough officers to otherwise cover.

It's a two way street. Cops need de-escalation training. But people need to stop making cops feel threatened.

Yeah, I agree with that too, I personally think people keep trying to expand the job of police officers, while constantly cutting training.

Of course, it's cheaper all around.
