This is a must read IMHO... Lack of proper communication, hasty decision making without fully assessing the situation and a fight or flight mentality caused a suicide by cop to prevail. Thank goodness the former Marine used his head- too and he got fired for it.

Having Trained Army and Marine Military Police For years.....I drilled UOF into them.. Maybe its the 7 levels of force instead of 6....(Presentation of Deadly Force then Deadly Force). I would fail Privates for even placing their hand on a firearm while walking up on a traffic stop or suspicious person, a common practice for Civilian Police. This article is not the whole story. When did the subject raise the gun? Before of After Back Up Officers showed up? Did Mader leave cover to talk to the subject? I'd love to see a video of the engagement...As for firing him it depends...a rookie can be release anytime in their first year for any reason or no reason in most civilian departments.

I did some more digging it appears that there were other reasons leading up to the firing....This was just the final one. We are still not seeing the whole story. But if looking at all the incidents the City did not feel it could have him as an officer they released him.

Also...because none of the officers turned on their lights there were no dashcam recordings.
