\u201cGreat losses are great lessons.\u201d \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 When I introduced the CAN <\/strong>paradigm element (2012, see HERE<\/strong><\/a>, and 2015, see HERE<\/strong><\/a>), I identified three components: mindset; equipment; skill. In various MSW posts I offered related concepts, including: advance planning; physical conditioning; tactics; competence under pressure; reliable, mission appropriate equipment; training; practice; retreat; disengage; challenge; threatening deadly force; gun-pointing; less lethal. Whether LEO or nonsworn, employing deadly force when wrong<\/em>; when appropriate, but done negligently<\/em>, or; failing<\/em> to employ it when needed (the MUST<\/strong><\/a>), can be immediately and\/or long-lastingly painful to the mistake maker or other innocents (loved ones, strangers, K9 partner, or citizens you are sworn to “protect and serve”).<\/p>\n \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 CAN<\/strong> failures engender SHOULD<\/strong><\/a> misjudgments, and often beget an unwelcome response from the legal system (the MAY<\/strong><\/a>).\u00a0 Of timely and particular note: (1) Regardless of a “win” in the hearing room or courtroom, complete “vindication” and a return to the status quo ante are nevertheless rarely attained; (2) For LEOs who make ugly mistakes, the landscape of policing has changed.\u00a0 You are no longer practically immune from criminal prosecution for CAN<\/strong> failures. Prosecutors will charge assault, battery, manslaughter, or culpable negligence when they come upon an LEO who has injured or killed and comes up short on their view<\/em> of the MAY<\/strong>. Although quite rare, the specter of dual federal\/state prosecution has a special impact of its own. (See HERE<\/strong><\/a>).<\/p>\n \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Submitted for your study<\/em> — some failures of: mindset<\/em> (e.g., no plan, bad plan, force level error); equipment<\/em> (e.g., ill-suited, inoperable, mismanaged), and\/or; skill<\/em> (e.g., poor execution, particularly marksmanship).<\/strong> From the “communities” of both LEO and the nonsworn, see these, and note an incident may evidence a failure of more than one element of the CAN<\/strong>:<\/p>\n Takeaway:<\/strong> There are no second chances and no second place winners. (HERE<\/strong><\/a>)\u00a0 So, be properly and fully “equipped” (mind and hardware); be competent to employ deadly and nondeadly force and know the legal limitations; plan ahead; be precise and decisive in execution; know your and your equipment’s limitations.\u00a0 Determine beforehand some real-world applicable metrics and see how you and your equipment fare.
