the law enforcement agencies that was the exact technique that jim jones used with the san francisco police department back in the seventy's you know it's interesting because when i look at the way law enforcement has has you know all the scandals that have plagued them over the years especially recently you know with the you know black lives matter movement and things like that it seems that law enforcement is not practicing what you just were talking about you know they're kind of moving to this action 1st mentality upon the gun for stride do this rather than actually you know talking things out rather than actually and understand there's a danger law enforcement course but why in your view you've been you know with us as a p.t. for quite a while why has law enforcement moved to this idea of the i hate to say it but shoot 1st ask questions later or at least that's what it looks like from the outside looking in. well you know i have to say that has been the way training was. was was built on that type of mentality how ever we are under reform here in san francisco like many other agencies across the
