It's a trauma reaction tbh. Huge red flag that they need to be in therapy.
He has no known history of trauma. He was, IIRC, a special forces officer that was deployed (Afghanistan?), but he never saw combat operations.
This is more likely the result of being trained that everyone is out to kill cops, that cops are the "sheep dogs", and that they need to be ready to kill people at a moment's notice ("Killology").
If there is no trauma before the police academy, it’s created and cultivated in the academy.
Isn't the training period only like a couple of weeks. I feel like that's not long enough to learn to be a cop. At least not a good cop.
When I learnt to be a network admin, the training course was a year, and I've never shot anyone so clearly the longer training works.
In California it’s a bit longer, 3 -4 months. Still not really long enough, and aimed towards a certain type of person. It may not teach how to be a good cop, they will teach you to be in constant fear.
How is this a trauma reaction?
This is a big old pussy with a gun who doesn't have the functioning braincells to think.
Being a cop is dangerous for everyone around you, not you yourself
Sometimes war veterans who have been in combat suffer from PTSD and react to loud gun like noises as if they are shots being fired. That is not the case here as it seems he did not take part in any combat while deployed but it certainly can be trauma.
