        Should just transfer them to another one in the next town over after a paid 3 month leave.

        Sure, and that’s great…but the topic is ‘de-escalation skills’. I’m just pointing out the obvious irony.

          Low reading comprehension skills, eh? The point is not the de-escalation skills. The point is that cops don’t have to face consequences for murder.

            …says the person who lacks the skills needed to read the title of the original post.

              In the post, someone replied that they get fired if they don’t deescalate properly. It sounds like the person you referenced did get fired. So i think that does add up?

      Guess what? That single incident is in no way indicative of an overall tendency. Hundreds if not thousands of cops needlessly shooting people every single year, though? THAT’S a significant data point!

        So you are saying that their de-escalation skills were not better than police? I would expect it to be against company policy to shoot a customer, but we’re talking about de-escalation skills here.

          I’d say that the one case you have of a fast food worker shooting someone is not the same as the plethora of cases of police shooting people. More importantly though and the true subtext of this post, is that this employee got fired, arrested, and charged with murder instead of a receiving a paid vacation and a transfer to a new McDonalds two counties over.

      I wonder how many cops have shot and killed people in that time period?

      I wonder if there are more McDonald’s employees than cops?

        2015 averaged four officer-involved homicides a day (an approximation based on those tracked by volunteers though news, incident reports and obituaries). That number has only increased since then. 2020 is regarded as an unusual year.

        Also we learned that precinct coroners routinely cover for their brethren in blue, which may conceal considerably more slayings.
