This DOJ is a nightmare. But hopefully, can be fixed.

I can't speak to specific APD shootings, wasn't there, didn't do the investigations
But I'm F-ing proud to have had a small part in cultivating an aggressive warrior mentality at my old place. It's all about controlled aggression, dialed up or down as needed. Who would have guessed that's a bad thing.
Equating personally owned duty weapons as inviting excessive force is just stupid.
Sad to say, but the world has moved on.

I worked at an agency where I promoted a warrior mindset. I was promoted, twice, and gave almost 14 years to that place. We were successful in OIS encounters with no judgements against officers.
Our "chief" invited the DOJ to investigate. When they (yes the cop hunting DOJ) found no wrong doings he hired a private group to investigate. Shockingly they found the problems he claimed where there. After getting paid that outfit (comprised of a former DOJ atty and a ACLU atty) folded up shop.
It's not only going on with APD this trend has been happening for a while.
The DOJ is the problem, with the IACP being close behind.
What, exactly, is a "high powered personal weapon"? Are APD officers running around with .44 mags and .50 Deagles? If so, I question their training a little, but still think it's awesome.
