I saw this story on the morning news, glad the poor guy is going to be ok. Cop has got to do better than " i don't know" geez! It is crazy. The majority of the men and women in blue do a tremendous job, some on the other hand you have to question their training and or mindset.

Any cop involved in a shooting needs to be immediately tested for Steroids. Are these increased shootings "Roid Rage"?

some departments have hired people to do psych evals. one dept found that the psychiatrist maybe spent 20 minutes with hirees. another found that their psych was doing the evals over the phone. it was just a way for those clinics to make a few quick bucks.
we have a serious issue with who is hiring and training. we have mental health issues that are largely being ignored. we have troops returning with ptsd and nothing or next to nothing is done. we have police on the streets for years-what is done for their mental well being? over time, when one is confronted daily with the worst of society, that will have an effect.

we owe it to both the police and the citizenry to get this fixed.

"You're on fire! You're on fire, stupid," an officer could be heard yelling when the man who tried to start the blaze had his leg briefly catch fire. He was then arrested for assaulting an officer, Williams said during an evening news conference, after trying to bat away police seeking to douse the flames.

he might want to find another way to protest, he doesn't seem too good with the whole fire thing.

All fine points. I had a lengthy psych written test to get hired as a security officer (likely the same test that evil Orlando shooter took, but different company), i know this is OBVIOUS but prospective hires are getting around these questions and answering the way they think will get them hired, only to show their true colors later. Again, not all security or cops but some bad apples are slipping through the hiring process and it is becoming more and more dangerous to both the citizens and fellow officers.
