Re: Aikido Training for Policemen

What Kit is getting at is that very word you write here is public record and is going to be brought out in court, either for a federal civil rights complaint or a civil suit. We all get frustrated by the fact that modern law enforcement administrations very frequently tend to be terrified of negative press reports and lawsuits, and therefor often do not support line staff in even clearly justified use of force situations.

But having said that, venting on the internet and not carefully considering the impact your words might have when being spun by an attorney in court might cause you considerable regret later on down the road. Take care of yourself.
