I agree Sen and this article (and there's some footage somewhere of this gentleman
taking part in the exercise)... shows a more realistic view than BLM.
'Black Lives Matter' Protester is Given Gun & Asked to Make Decisions
Like a Cop Would. Surprise! It's Not That Easy.'
It took less than a day for one of the more outspoken 'Hands Up, Don't Shoot,'
'Black Lives Matter' protesters to change his tune about police tactics.
Jarrett Maupin has led marches against the Phoenix Police Department for months,
most recently over the shooting of an unarmed man by police.
But when Maupin was invited by the Maricopa County Sheriffs Office to undergo
police tactical situational training, he came out a changed man.
In one scenario, Maupin, dressed in police garb and carrying a 'pistol,' was shot by
a car thief/bad guy when the thief put his hands out of view and came up with a gun.
In another, Maupin tried to talk two men out of fighting when one man stalked toward
him and Maupin shot him:
"Hey, he rushed me... I shot because he was in that zone, I didn't see him armed, he
came clearly to do some harm to my person. It's hard to make that call; it shakes you
up."
Ironically, this is almost precisely the same situation that led Darren Wilson to shoot
Michael Brown, according to forensic evidence.
In the third scenario, a burglar refused to comply when Maupin tried to arrest him and
obtain what the bad guy had tucked in his waistband.
As Maupin told Fox 10 Phoenix:
"I need you to keep your hands up, sir, I need to check what's in the waistband."
No shots were fired, but there was a knife in the waistband.
Maupin took to Twitter to give the cops props, but fellow protesters didn't like what he
had to say and accused him of going all PC...'

Oddly enough -and it's seen on the linked page, some Black Lives Matter protesters disagreed with
him and saw it as a political move! I'm not a member, but it seems the world of Twitter is a realm
where you can be king and never... ever wrong.
