Can u define what kind of training you did? How long? Was it a scenario based? Do you have to get requalified every year?
It's so much more complex - the training, actual real life experience.
You make it sound like there's a script to follow and can't understand how it could ever go in another direct or at what point does de-escalation not work. At what point would lethal force be justified?
It also sounds like you may have misinterpreted some of the training or, like is evident in this thread, molded it to fit your own narrative about police and police training.
