[QUOTE="SuZir, post: 535086, member: 14557"] What a devastating story to all involved. Yes, we are indeed lucky there is much less handguns going around and it really makes a difference from police perspective, when there is not much reason to be afraid of concealed fire weapon (we do have our fair share of hunting guns, but you can not hide them that easily.) We have also been lucky that we have not had that many police casualties in last decades (in fact we had much more of them at 30's or 50's than now.) It makes it possible for police to use softer tactics. And I do believe that most police officers have chosen their job for the right reasons in almost everywhere at least in developed countries. Our police officers tend to be from that same group who go on to become teachers, physiotherapists, sport coaches, fire fighters, EMTs, clergymen, nurses, doctors etc. Good kids who don't want to sit behind desks and move papers rest of their lives, want to work with people and help them. Unfortunately some of jobs are so, that many get very cynical during their years in service. I know many this type of people partly because my kids being so involved with sports. Now even my easy child has professional coach, but when younger most of their coaches were volunteering. And big percent of them were members of those professions. Also the many, many professional coaches used to be something else, before being able to coach professionally. Some of course were pro athletes themselves but most have had also a day job at least in some point. And most typical professions tend to be: elementary school teacher, kindergarten teacher, Special Education. teacher, psychiatric nurse, police officer, fire fighter etc. It has always amused me to think how large percent of our male kindergarten teachers in fact end up being pro coaches in some point. It has to be high because we don't have that many male kindergarten teachers to begin with and I can think several whom have ended up pro coaches in just difficult child's sport alone. Same job description in the end, I guess :rofl: [/QUOTE]
