| The OODA Loop and Why Police Sometimes Shoot Unarmed People? (Video) |
| 2017-04-16 |
| [Bearing Arms] YouTuber "possumpopper89" has crafted a 6-minute video that does a fairly good job of explaining why law enforcement officers (and some "regular Joe" citizens with defensive firearms training) sometimes shoot unarmed people. People who lack this kind of training (which is probably close to 95% of the general population) hold the mistaken belief that officers wait until they see and identify a weapon in a suspect’s hand before deciding to open fire. That is simply not the case much of the time. In many instances, it isn’t possible to visually identify a weapon due to lighting conditions or attempts by dangerous criminals to conceal a weapon even as they bring them into play. |

| #1 Fan-*ucking-tastic writeup. Period. Also feed for ultimate, maximum, non-lethal defense, were one not protected by arguably ambiguous self-defense laws. Ultimately of course the advantage is to not insert oneself into such a situation. |
