They need more training in hand-to-hand combat and less time at the gun range. Be interesting to know how or if our Anchorage cops or Troopers spend time in wrestling, boxing, whatever and staying fit enough to actually make a difference versus shooting to kill as the only option. They probably watch training videos at home and do a day of mock hand combat once a year. Do the cops have a fitness program so they are physically able to handle someone without having a heart attack. Most cops are in good shape, but many can barely run a mile. From the street cop to the Captain, every cop should be able to pass a high level fitness test and hand combat skills test.  Today they just need a physical once a year, same as high school athlete.
