Police are untrained and dumb (sorry its true)
15 December 2019
There are a lot of good intentioned police officers and a lot of smart ones too, and theres a lot of average intelligence. But there are a lot of officers who are incredibly dumb. I get that this bomb was a situation they didnt know how to handle. The thing that is so interesting, is how basic many peoples interpretation of emotion is. I have seen many people (not officers - anyone) comment on videos of criminal interviews for example. They often think that if the person isnt responding in the most basic way that they are lying.

These officers were explaining how this man wasnt panicking as a sign that he was lying about the bomb strapped to him. It doesnt even cross their mind that people respond unusually in unusual situations. Police are so utterly untrained in psychology, yet that is the main aspect of their job. 99.9% of the time theyre not having a wild west show down, they are talking to people. They could not tell that this man was so scared that he couldnt even panick? They cannot even imagine being so terrified you feel like stone that you could hardly move properly let alone communicate normally? Literally the directions he was under was all about not panicking as well. So he is obviously trying to follow their instructions.

This reminds me of an interview I saw of a murder suspect. She did yoga when the police officers stepped out of the room. So after being questioned for hours in a single room, and youre trying not to lose your mind, yoga seems like a strange choice? Thats literally what yoga is for. People including officers are incredibly dim to not be able to imagine that people have different ways of reacting and different situations create different reactions.

Then this continues showing the police officers having caused a traffic jam. Of course they have motorcycles, but for the bomb officer to get on a motorcycle and speed towards the scene, that is too hard to figure out? I mean this is beyond stupid.

How is it anyone claims that people are the smartest animal? I mean... they assume that the reason the man is not running around freaking out is NOT because he literally has a bomb strapped to him, NOT that hes trying to hold onto his sanity in order to guide these incredibly dim officers into actually being of service, NOT because he is in total shock from fear... no they assume its because the bomb isnt real and he is just lying -- with no game plan- he is just lying while sitting in handcuffs. And this is after they see its a real bomb.

And they have him in handcuffs with guns pointed at him and no one helping whatsoever. They werent even like, "hey most of the officers here arent doing anything, we dont need 10 guns aimed at this guy, how about five of you guys try to follow the directions and get the keys? Just in case it is a real bomb and we really can get keys to get him out of it."

Obviously the hostage could see that his words were not reaching any human of normal intelligence. He was crying for help to animals who did not comprehend language. Of course he lost the spirit in his voice. He is about to die and these cops are just staring back at him blankly, blinking and pointing a gun. They are literally staring at him and ignoring him completely 100%. What do you do if you are being ignored? You completely lose all hope. He could see that these officers were completely missing intellect. He was talking to a blank wall. A blank wall that was aiming multiple guns at him.

Its really hard to keep hope for humanity when we have a system that sends these very very stupid creatures running around pointing guns at people. They are so incredibly stupid its terrifying. We would be safer if we gave a bunch of monkeys guns. The monkeys would be able to sense peoples emotions they would not just aim at someone in such severe distress that they were freezing up from the completely demoralizing situation they were in.

We need officers who for one have at least average intelligence. They have emotional IQs high enough to tell when a person is in distress, not just blindly read the stereotypical signs like "is screaming and crying". That is something that a lot of people who are autistic are not capable of. They cannot read emotions. Some have to be taught if someone is yelling they are angry, if someone is crying they are sad. Its a mental handicap. Most people can realize human emotions beyond the level of severe autism.

We also need officers who are trained in psychology. They also need to have some training for all situations like bombs.

We also need people to divert from their standard system when necessary. To problem solve. To say hey maybe we should use multiple strategies at the same time here, some officers monitor, some follow the directions. Not go interview the pizza shop manager?????????????

There are not enough words to describe the stupidity of a lot of people. Sadly those officers and others who are incredibly stupid are not kept out of officer positions. Read up on how they are selected to be kind of dumb. They also have to work under sociopath corrupt leaders. We need a revamp of humanity.
