-War on Police-
Let's take a moment to applaud that unnamed female deputy's courage
2020-09-15
[American Thinker] Within a very short time, we knew a lot about the Compton shooting of two deputies: We knew that witnesses to the shooting celebrated and did nothing to help; that Black Lives Matter descended on the hospital, hoped for the deputies’ deaths, tried to storm the Emergency Department, and blocked ambulances; and that no one in the Democrat party, from Biden down, called out Black Lives Matter for fomenting this anti-police terrorism, with some actually supporting it. What we did not know until today was that the female deputy showed extraordinary presence of mind, competence, and courage.

There were two deputies in the car, both of whom had become deputies only 14 months before. The female deputy is 31 and has a six-year-old son. The male deputy is only 24.

The would-be assassin shot both deputies multiple times. The woman took a bullet to the jaw and was shot in both arms. The man was shot in the head although, thankfully, the bullet didn’t penetrate his brain. He also suffered other injuries that were severe enough that he would have bled out were it not for his partner’s immediate action.

After they were shot, neither deputy had any idea whether there would be more bullets coming. The female deputy, despite her injuries, managed to get her more badly-wounded partner to safety behind a pillar. She then saved his life with a tourniquet, after which she radioed headquarters for help. This is a woman you want at your back in any fight. She kept her cool, never lost her situational awareness, and triumphed over what must have been unimaginable pain and fear.

The following pictures and videos are graphic, raw, and disturbing. I think, though, that we need to see them because this is what Democrats are doing to America with their race wars and wars on the police. They are engaged in an over-arching, doggedly determined, and unrelenting effort to undermine any semblance of law and order or civil society in America.

#8  Training process is great.
Empty streets, bulky shorty coming right at them.
Street training, not so much.

#6  The female officer was extraordinary but you also have to give credit to her trainers. As a trainer you drill your people to recognize a situation and then to associate that situation to a series of steps appropriate for that situation.

In other words, trainers teach you to recognize, associate, and process corresponding steps.

She notified base of the crisis, then eliminated their exposures to more injury by moving to a safe place, she identified and treated (triage) each type of injury according to her first aid training, and then took a protective defensive observation position.

God bless her trainers. Most people would have panicked, well trained people evaluate and respond.

#2  BLM = BLA (Black Liberation Army).

An organized, violent revolutionary movement focused on assassinating cops around the country as the first step in bringing down the state

#1  I recommend a televised or private Oval Office ceremony as medical conditions permit. Prior to, or after the election. Makes no difference to me.
