So, I am sitting here going through these threads here in the tactics subfourm, and a lot of people here say something to the effect of " I'd do this and then that would end it" or " he should of done this, didn't he realize what was happening?"
When I watch a video of say, (an officer was trying to subdue a criminal when criminal pulled gun and shot the officer), I look at what the officer could have done to prevent the scenario as well, but also try to put myself mentally in his shoes. It's easy to say what should have been done, but in the middle of an altercation, tunnel vision easily sets in, as well as fight or flight.
Everyday while I am performing daily tasks, I replay scenarios that might occur in my head, and think about how I would solve them if a threat presented itself. The one thing I have not found to do, is train myself not to panic and stay calm.
My question to you guys, is there any training you folks perform to try to eliminate the fear jitters in an altercation? Any former military members out there who had this type of training?
