Director’s use of force mixed messages

[Unregistered]

So,Director, what do you want us to do.....tactical “desecalation” or “refuse to backdown and mitigate the threat”. Both are completely different and from shootings in the past are contrary to what you’re orders are. Maybe the theme here is you need to be in a special unit to be ok with any force on force.

Long ago we learned that when it comes to the application of deadly force is concerned, the simpler the governing policy the better. When an officer reasonably believes that using deadly force is necessary to prevent imminent death or great bodily harm to him or her, well the choices are clear . . . live or die! All managerial “mumbo jumbo,” like tactical “de-escalation” is life foolish! In Law Enforcement, History has taught us that most officers, when they observed the offender “de-escalating” his or her aggression, they will as well. In Graham v. Connor, 490 U.S. 386 (1989) the United States Supreme Court ruled in part as follows:

[The "reasonableness" of a particular use of force must be judged from the perspective of a reasonable officer on the scene, and its calculus must embody an allowance for the fact that police officers are often forced to make split-second decisions about the amount of force necessary in a particular situation. Pp. 490 U. S. 396-397.] Officers should download Graham and keep it as their secular bible verse, for it is.

Most importantly though, is maintaining composure; that is not easy, given the psychological trauma it is to kill another human being. Still officers in such scenario must not speak to anyone after using deadly force and immediately invoke their Fifth and Sixth Amendments Rights. In Miami Dade police officers are fortunate to have several defense attorneys with vast experience in such sensitive situation. They will speak for you; proffering to FDLE what in their learned legal opinions is best for your situation.

It’s a grievance which has to be filed by PBA. What do you think the chances of that happening???

the same way we file a grievance when officers get fired for no reason? Or how about when the Director speaks about open IA cases in his rants? This place needs an outside source to come in and police the command staff and their bullish management skills.
