Officers are required to act on 'Breaches of the Peace'. Sometimes even off duty.
Crimes that put Life & Safety of Citzens at risk.
Robbery, assault, disturbances, etc
The public asks this of them.
Their Governmental Agencies usually REQUIRE this of them.
Crimes in PROGRESS

Officer Presence is the first level in the use of force continuum training.
Nothing hands on.
Not even speaking.
Makes sense, right?

Officers are there to protect the public.
Would the Officer deal with punishment in the regular course of their duties if they failed to act on serious crimes in their presence?
Can elected officials change the meaning of a law without legislation?
Is this happening?

If elected officials told/forced officers not to enforce the law (on condition of their employment?),
would those officials have the liability as the result of the inaction?
Is this civil, criminal, or both?
Did this deprive any citizen, of any right?

On the use of force continuum,
and Constitutionally as citizens,
do Police Officers have a Right to defend themselves against assault and deadly force?
Is a rock thrown at your head deadly force?
Pushing?
Fire or explosives?
Or just Officer Prescense? https://nij.ojp.gov/topics/articles/use-force-continuum

Departments are removing tear gas, pepper spray, and less lethal 'bean bag' rounds from Police Officers.
On the use of force continuum, this leaves Officers vulnerable to attack/injury,
and increases their personal liability.
Remove less lethal?
Why?

Police Officers are trained to keep a safe distance in situations for the safety not only of themselves,
but those in the public.
'We can talk just fine from over here'.
Common Sense, right?
How would you feel in these situations?
