Great training and great to see someone try to walk in the shoes of the officer and have to deal with the split second life and death situations. Her reaction at the scenario with the child is very emotional and reflects what anyone would have to deal with in that situation.
Does your department do any of this type of training? Even if you aren't armed, this is great training to help you stay calm and do what you are trained to do. Defuse, deflect, or disarm.
...
It also makes me reflect on an opinion piece written by an editor of an online paper out in California. He was saying that the funerals of police officers were going too far in how big they have gotten and that police officers shouldn't view themselves as warriors. He also pointed out that in the list of the most dangerous jobs, law enforcement is 14th. I would point out that none of the 13 jobs ahead of law enforcement have people trying to kill you. He was opining that what war are law enforcement officer's fighting if they are looking at themselves as warriors? A war against the community? No, the war is the one declared by the criminal population, the media and some politicians on law enforcement. Just my thoughts...

Yesterday we shared video from our police involved scenarios, where reporters experienced what officers handle day-to-day across the nation. We recommend you watch Report Vanessa Medina of WSVN-TV's report as well. It was to say the least a frightening experience for her.
