>Mader was the first responding officer to a 2016 call involving RJ Williams, a 23-year-old black man believed to be suicidal. Mader, who is white, made the determination that Williams did not pose an immediate threat to him or fellow officers, even though he was holding a gun. Mader began trying to talk Williams down. >“He wasn’t angry,” Mader previously told the Guardian. “He wasn’t aggressive, he didn’t seem in position to want to use a gun against anybody. He never pointed it at me. I didn’t perceive him as an imminent threat.” >But amid Mader’s attempts to convince Williams to drop the weapon, two veteran officers arrived on the scene and, almost immediately, shot and killed Williams. >Mader, an Iraq and Afghanistan war veteran, received a termination letter 10 days later, which claimed that he failed to respond to the threat. “The unfortunate reality of police work is that making any decision is better than making no decision at all,” it read.
Real story: Mader went into condition black and froze. The other officers saved his life.

Yes, they are trained to kill not de-escalate/community based policing. Police review papers with ticket quotas etc. nobody believes that. Most cops are overly scared and under trained, especially female cops.
Owen Morales
You just proved my point faggot.
Leo Hughes
Bet I plug at least 3 before they get me Happens every time especially when they wanna kill cops
Undertrained and unprofessional mafia clowns in blue
Jordan Brown
No him being a veteran means he kept his cool and was deescalating until scardy cops showed up and plugged the guy. opposite of "freezing up"
Liam Torres
Yes, unfortunately a lot of states have undertrained officers. But some states have very well trained officers. I don’t know anything about the state Mader is from. But I’ve seen it over and over — he froze and didn’t know what the fuck. His story is bullshit.
Brandon Robinson
That doesn’t mean anything. What did he do in the military? In the army I saw many people not engage because the my are fucking useless shits.
Hunter Foster
We are going downhill fast
Kevin Gutierrez
Is there any body/dash cam footage available? Chances are he was MP I am guessing.
Jordan Rivera
Cool story bro. I bet you're a badass marine with 1000 confirmed kills.
Aiden Powell
Iraq and Afghan vet froze? I'd give him the benefit of the doubt on this one.
Aiden Morgan
Cops are thug enforcers and revenue generators for the pedophile elite.
Gavin Thompson
lolno. If this was true he would have been shot you stupid cunt.
David James
Typically vets make the best cops, because they are cool/calm in most every situation compared to normal civvie cops. Female cops are the most likely to cap you even if you get face down ass up.
to handcuff fools ahead of tumbling them down a dirt hill
Luke Price
You sound like a cop who knows how to have fun.
Bentley Lewis
Yeah, you can't be a coward and be a cop. Prime reason there aren't many on this board. You're all cowards, you should be killing the people who are fucking up your society.
Julian Clark
Are you going to strip me first?
Benjamin Adams
I'll start after you live stream killing the dual citizens in congress fair?
