If you look back on the officer involved shootings in the past few years there is usually one common denominator... Non Compliance by the suspect. When I began my career in law enforcement in 1977, that was a rare occurrence on minor infractions unless the suspect was very intoxicated and mentally unable to process the requests of the officer or other extenuating factors. The non compliance did begin to increase slightly over the years but nothing to level it is today. When I retired in 2005, it was still not too bad but the increasingly "militarization" of our LEOs along with the increased media coverage of various "activists" I believe, has increased this non compliance or animosity if you will towards the police. Upon my return to LE in December in 2015 I soon realized that non compliance was the norm, not the exception even for the most minor of infractions. Since I had not been in it for a decade this behavior became quickly apparent to me. Fortunately my current job does not involve answering calls for service and most of my public interactions are in a somewhat control environment of the municipal courthouse. When we do go out on warrant sweeps we usually have additional manpower and the suspect is known to us. I have no magic solution to all this but I can tell you that there is a definite heightened state of awareness among LEOs in this country. The local law enforcement agencies in my area have a pretty good rapport with our citizens and except for the SWAT teams still wear the "conventional style" uniforms that have been abandoned in several of your major metropolitan agencies for more military style uniforms.
