Interesting thought on the pay incentive, but what will happen is eventually a cop will get shot in the line of duty without a gun and the media will have a frenzy and that incentive will get canned.



But let's say you get the pay incentive after you go through a class on deescalation. Make it a 4hr online class :)

Now, the debate can center on training again. But, this time with a focus on deescalation vs how to aim for center of body mass.

Anyway, it's probably a bad idea: I haven't thought about it much. But, I do think we need to start thinking about carrots instead of just sticks.
