008 The Force Continuum and Totality of Circumstance

<p>In episode #8 Jay and Mike discuss a recent broad daylight shoot-out in suburban Washington DC.  As a result of the recent "defund the police" movement, the guys talk about the nebulous concept of de-escalation and how things move along the Force Continuum during dynamic lethal force situations.  These ideas lead not to defunding but the necessity for more training.  For the armed citizens, the guys get into the concepts of "Totality of Circumstance", cessation of threat, and disparity of force so everyone can understand some of the requirements that must be met during a lethal force encounter with a criminal threat.</p> <p>Questions or Comments?</p> <p><a href= "mailto:Podcast@latentforce.com">Podcast@latentforce.com</a></p> <p> </p> <p>Be sure to check out our website</p> <p><a href="http://www.latentforce.com">www.latentforce.com</a></p> <p>Links for this episode:</p> <p><em><strong>Space Force - Netflix</strong></em></p> <p><a href= "https://www.netflix.com/title/81021929">https://www.netflix.com/title/81021929</a></p> <p> </p> <p><em><strong>Washington DC shoot-out - Video<br /></strong></em></p> <p>A popular Memphis rapper named CEO Bezzal was shot and killed in Washington, DC</p> <p><a href= "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K3RiJxu-yKU">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K3RiJxu-yKU</a></p> <p> </p> <p><em><strong>Firearms Safety Rules</strong></em></p> <p><a href= "https://latentforce.com/styled-2/styled-26/">https://latentforce.com/styled-2/styled-26/</a></p> <p> </p> <p><em><strong>Tech 9 used in the shoot out</strong></em></p> <p><a href= "https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TEC-9">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TEC-9</a></p> <p> </p> <p><em><strong>The Force Continuum</strong></em></p> <p><a href= "https://nij.ojp.gov/topics/articles/use-force-continuum">https://nij.ojp.gov/topics/articles/use-force-continuum</a></p> <p> </p> <p><em><strong>MILO System - Judgemental Use of Force<br /></strong></em></p> <p><a href= "https://www.faac.com/milo-range/simulators/milo-range-theater/">https://www.faac.com/milo-rang
