I just love how Beau can speak to exactly what we are concerned about...without even naming what we are concerned about.
I think it's part of his (admirable) talent for posting topics on this site without worrying about getting sued...or other things.
True, true.... 🤔🤔🤔
Beau s style is to provoke us to think for ourselves. He wants to gently nudge us toward critical thinking.
@@sabotagesavant5277 Plus he wouldnt want to get demonetized by using those trigger words, I´d guess. I mean - thas was rather thinly veiled.
Another reason he’s purposely ambiguous is to change thought not just make a point.
“And that’s how you change the world” - Beau
This test should be used to assess a lot of things... in a lot of places right now.
I got that vibe too.
Kitya knows what's up.
@@DrSpaceman69 who is we in that statement?
When the threat is to their ego and it is more important to them than a stranger's life, who is the true threat to society?
Exactly.
Thank you, good question.
We have too many people with the mindset of the old joke "Shoot first, ask questions later" & using the excuse "I was in fear for my life"
How bout this one
" if you comply, you wont die" 🤷♂️
@@nobonesaboutit7639 Sadly that can prove to be a lie
@@zetectic7968 i find that highly unlikely. Everyone of the deaths that ive seen in the news could've all been avoided had the suspects just showed compliance.
@@nobonesaboutit7639 Then you've missed all the ones where the suspect was complying, or at least trying to comply and still died or was shot.
@@nobonesaboutit7639 so are you deliberately lying or do you keep yourself carefully misinformed? You come across as too stupid to read, and I'll probably blick you soon. You'll bore most of the others here pretty quick, too. Then what will you be for?
Thank You,
Beau for addressing these so call shooting humans in the back;
As they are running for their lives out of fear.
Why am I thinking about water bottles all of a sudden? Oh, right! Because Seattle cops in riot gear were afraid of them so they had to barricade and desert their station, and then use tear gas and rubber bullets. Not. A. Threat. (except to their feelings)
The police manufacture threats as they see fit. They do no knock raids on drug dealers. But when that guy tried to kidnap that little girl a few days ago they called him and told him to come out.
Wth?
Lemme guess, he was white?
@@vonJosephu ding ding ding ding
Good point.
I think no-knock provisions should only be allowed for unarmed execution of warrants (no weapons - maybe limited to pepper spray). That would really make law enforcement think twice about when to use those.
When one major party relies a lot on provoking fear to sway voters, and the other side relies on it almost entirely, having a tool to separate rational and irrational fears sounds absolutely vital. Speaking as someone who deals with clinical anxiety every day, cleaning your mind of baseless worries doesn't just help you make more accurate decisions, it makes it easier for you to think in general.

“Fear is not real. It is a product of thoughts you create. Do not misunderstand me. Danger is very real. But fear is a choice.”
Will Smith
Frank Herbert Quotes
I must not fear.
Fear is the mind-killer.
Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration.
I will face my fear.
I will permit it to pass over me and through me.
And when it has gone past, I will turn the inner eye to see its path.
Where the fear has gone, there will be nothing.
Only I will remain.
Frank Herbert
“Responsibility is a unique concept... You may share it with others, but your portion is not diminished. You may delegate it, but it is still with you... If responsibility is rightfully yours, no evasion, or ignorance or passing the blame can shift the burden to someone else. Unless you can point your finger at the man who is responsible when something goes wrong, then you have never had anyone really responsible.”
― Admiral H.G. Rickover, Father of the US Nuclear Navy
“Caution in handling generally accepted opinions that claim to explain whole trends of history is especially important for the historian of modern times, because the last century has produced an abundance of ideologies that pretend to be keys to history but are actually nothing but desperate efforts to escape responsibility.”
― Hannah Arendt, The Origins of Totalitarianism
This Arendt person, I'm seeing more and more indications that I need to read her work. Thanks
When I was first being taught armed self defense a couple decades ago, I was told that my mental assessment should not be “can I justify the shot” but “did I *have to* shoot,” and that would significantly increase my chances of staying out of trouble. Kinda seems like someone oughta tell some of these cops the same thing.
there are so many people out there ready to rationalize immoral acts that it is overwhelming.
If only your voice would be heard everywhere! Truth and facts and your insightful attitude are priceless 🌹
Subscribe, like and share Ms. Nanci.😊 We can all help to change minds one human at a time. Best of luck to us all.
Acceptance of risk seems an important factor too. Its a dangeous job. How acceptable should fear be in a dangerous job? These officers take an oath - to put their lives on the line to save those of others. That should include people in crisis, even if they have a weapon - save that life, priority # 1
Beau, also, I can't remember which senator, angry at drumfs ban, actually said, unironically, "we should take these private tech companies out of the control of the owners and let the users control them!" It was one of those always saying 'radical left socialists', LMAO. He jumped right over socialist and went straight up communist, if he meant government control! Otherwise it is classic socialism, and he didn't even realize what he was saying!, sorry, off topic, but it is my second comment! 👍🥰✌🤎💫🎃
That was some very good advice. Morality is sadly lacking in enforcement in America. Lacking in politics to.
The CAF (Canadian Armed Forces) we are taught. Proximity/Capability/Intent. I now view much through this lense. My standing ROE is always present. But if I take action it must be only the minimum required to turn away the threat, with no escalation on my part.
It's not "fear", it's malice. Big difference.
💯... Fear for my life is the 1st defense for cowards... Some are a threat from birth in America and we all know this to be true...

It’s a shame that “assessing risks” actually need to be explained. It’s as simple as just being human.
A moral human. Morality goes out the window when one party sees every situation as us or me against them.
I grew up in a rual farming community and didn't encounter a black person till Jr High. I wasn't taught generational racism and didn't feel one way or another, they were human like me despite my lack of melanin in my skin.
Fast forward to Jr. College. There I enountered the 1970s version of inner city blacks with their own slang that out of necessity they taught and I learned like square for a cigarette minimal. Yes at times I felt a bit uneasy when surrounded by 10 or 15 but never reacted out of fear. Made a few friendly acquaintances. Even was on the edge of a racially tense encounter. A young black guy (not raised in the inner city or poor) was friends with a white kid. Well one day a kid from the inner city followed by a contingent of other black guys confronted this other guy who was with his white friend (a contingent of white guys quickly formed around the two) I don't really remember any specific verbage but it was this one inner-city dude being pissed that the other dude didn't hang with "his own kind" with the other's answer of I hang with who I want.
The young black man and his white friend didn't go much of anywhere without at least a small group of 4 or 5 white guys for awhile after that.
I've never really understood for a long time the why of all this us against them came about. I've paid attention though and learned but still despair at times.
I count myself lucky that neither of my parents taught us any of that BS.
Thats not to say my father didn't have a bit there but it was confined to B&W shouldn't mix. He only said that once. But I think he did kinda freak out when my sister bought some college friends to dinner once and one was a black guy.
This was in the late 60s.

Thank you Beau for so succinctly putting into words incoherent muttering and growling followed by snorts every time the news in on TV these days. You just untangled the knotted neurons that have been in my head for far too long.
How did you know I was afraid of stuffed animals? Sheesh😾
Only about 5% of stuffed animals want to do harm to you.
I am too, but I only fear a couple of them. I'm not a crazy person.

The only justification a cop needs to get away with murder is: "I got spooked."

Hey Beau!
Yes, morality sounds good!! Thanks Beau!
35 minutes with no haters!? That a new record lol. Also I went to high school with a girl that was seriously afraid of apples.
An hour now. They must have turned off their notifications.

I agree that people who are here to protect their communities should use cooler heads when it comes to The people who pay their salaries.
I read a book in the 1980s called the house of God, referring to a Jewish Hospital in New York. One piece of advice that medical interns were getting was in the event of a code (heart attack), the first thing you need to do is check your own pulse. I suppose this could apply to any threat situation as well. Get a grip on your fear, then make an assessment after you’ve calm down sufficiently.
Key word here: AND. Intent, hability AND opportunity.
Some people are afraid of their own shadow - there are others who should be.
Risk = PERCEIVED threat to that which we value. Trouble is, perception is wobbly. And i like how Beau put the assessment of threat.
Also, RISK has three components, Event/Hazard + Catalyst --> Concomitant Result
Sometimes, its possible to see this another way: Event+Leverage-->Opportunity for change. Depends how you look at it?
Risk and perceived risk aren’t the same & I think that’s Beau’s point
Listen here Beau! My wife and me once sleped in a hotel. There was a stuffed dear head over the bed and it fall down on me in the middle of the nigth. Beside nearly triggering a heart attack it hurt pretty good. So I would say that telling people stuffed animaly aren't a threat shows a lack of experience on your side.
And I do know that the actual issue was the idiot fixing it. But that is less funny so please roll with it.
He was referencing toys; not taxidermy. That should have been obvious.
Unfortunately, you have to have morals in order to invoke them in judgements. Haven’t seen much evidence of that lately among certain groups.
Sorry, the BB gun analogy really hits kin home with me. When I was a kid, my brother had the intent, the capability, and the opportunity... and the wrath of mom & dad afterwards. He got me on the ankle - I thought I was gonna' die. 😄
Brilliantly put, Beau. Thanks!
I like the idea of a formula to calculate threat. Mathematically I believe multiplication would be better than addition. Where 1 is a yes and no is a 0, therefore if zero appears in the string the answer would be zero (no), thusly if all answers are 1 the total is 1 (yes). 1x0x1=0
It's just a thought.
Good thought.
I like that.
This kind of critical analysis should also be applied where Stand Your Ground laws are concerned.
Beau, I think adding a 'moral' argument could be a good thing in 'cop culture', unless they use it wrong. But just adding it to the use of force could be very helpful. There are good ones who already do. And others who don't use it at all, on or off duty. Either way, it must be set as example, and still lead to accountability. 👍🥰✌🤎💫🎃
Thanks Beau as always, for covering the basics. You have an exceptional way with words, a tremendous gift.
Peace, y'all
That's why the whole "I was in fear for my life" saying that's accepted as the "no further action required" answer makes no sense. The threat must be rational not rationalized.
DoD funding is often based on rationalizations and isn't always rational. The money person for the Department of the Army upset A LOT of people because she wanted applied, rational, agreed upon threats that this funding was going to specifically address and it couldn't be addressed another way with what you have on hand or with minor adaptation.
That's my experience as a former Threat Manager.
Hi Beau - very well said. The other side of the coin is that once the threat is realistically assessed, what is the proportional and appropriate use of force to be used in response, and have the authorities been given a variety of force options to choose from that allow for this type of gradation. If all you have is a hammer, everything looks like a nail and if all you have is a gun, everything looks like a target.
Beau, you are the man. I like watching you because you are so good at explaining anything. Great job, brother.
You cant legislate morality, but you can teach it.
Mr. Beau aced it. So true, I'm glad you said it cause I would have said it with a few choice word. I'm not scared of a hole lot of stuff but what really scares me is the shoot first and not asking questions.
Good video. Lets face it. The US police normally use this threat thing to excuse their behavior. So making this information widely spread may help to prevent them from getting away with it. But at least someone should mention in that context that assessing intent is pretty difficult even for well trained personal.
Beau, based upon your criteria to assess whether something is a threat, when your formula is applied to the police department, it becomes very clear that the police department is a THREAT!
Howdy Beau. 👋
More should I, not merely can I.
So, if have a nation of cops, and they "fear for their lives"...
As always, well said 👏
Well that’s one hell of a thought Beau!! Don’t stop what you do. I watch you everyday for good thoughts.
The "veneer of civility" is very, very thin these days.
So much yes.
I’m reminded of the coward from Texas, Joe Horn. He gunned down two men, despite the pleas from the 911 operator not to do so, who allegedly burglarized his neighbor’s house, while they were running from him. He claimed he was in fear of his life as he shot both of them in the back. He not only didn’t face charges but he was actually hailed as a hero.
Afraid of two men running from him. With that precedent, every paranoid schizophrenic in existence is free to kill whomever they choose.
Thanks for refreshing my memories. Police state.
Thanks again Beau.
Thank you Sir
I come back to you for not only good thinking, but your smooth delivery. I never though what you said would help me this much!!!! I have a neighbor who yells at me and calls me names for wearing a mask and believing that COVID is real, I know he owns a gun and obviously he knows where I live - next door. But honestly, I don't think he has any intent of hurting me physically - he just gets really mad about me even walking past him. I bow down my head and avoid getting too close. Sadly, I never even had to think about this in Finland.
Is this formula taught in law enforcement anywhere in the USA? Because it seems like something every law enforcement officer should know.
Great background atmosphere! Thank you for the upload Beau!
Well put!
75% of my daily job is looking at the threat landscape and evaluating risk. Folks become very risk tolerant when mitigation means change or additional resources. The use of violence, as a tool of the state, carries little risk to the state, and is propped up by a sunk cost fallacy (eg. "we bought the APCs and 50 .cals so we have to use them"). Until the use of violence carries a greater risk then not using it, violence will always be the favored tactic.
My City Council decided they weren't going to help the unhoused people in my city because they're afraid of angry homeowners yelling at them at town hall meetings.
How did we all end up being monitored, 24/7 & WITHOUT OUR PERMISSION ??? 🤔🤔🤔 Bull !!!
FINALLY!!! I learned this 31 years ago and i am shocked at these law enforcement officers who cannot make these type of critical thinking determinations...and the laws which protect them when they cannot.
Respect my brother
Hey, Thank you for every insightful video you put up
Americans have been taught to "Walk softly and carry a big stick", unfortunately over the last few decades the it has morphed into, "Carry a big stick and qualified immunity.", citizens have a very good right to feel scared.

Good stuff

AIM- ability, intent, means. Good talk.
So, they aren't finishing the formula.
Threat = Intent + Capability + Oppertunity
Risk = Vulnerability + Threat - Mitigation
This is used by insurance companies, cyber security, and any good risk management job.
Thank you for putting that last bit into simpler terms (ie "legality vs morality")
I've recently started to see how my fellow Americans worship and subscribe to the letter of the law with no regard for the spirit of the law

Those caravans from the south were hyped up a bit by Dump.
Sounds a lot like "means, motive and opportunity". Almost like they've known this for a really long time, and have just been pretending they don't.
Yo beau!
Second!! 💐👍🏾
So when someone is driving away from you, it's not a threat.
This is also known as the Deadly Force Triangle. While Intent is always implied, the other parts need to be assessed for.
Hang on Beau, i’ve had some dangerous run-ins with stuffed animals before. You ever met teddy ruxpin? Never felt more afraid in all my life.
Clowns are absolutely 100% a threat.
The government used to do this before WW2. Now it's, "How much money can I make off this threat."
This is also how we gauge suicide risk. We call it "intent", "capability", and "access to means"
