I think he also needs to explain the joys of sex after using excessive force.

 

[Trigonometrize.]

Huh?

My interactions with juvenile kids in the past couple weeks were less unnerving.

 

[Beefy]

This is beyond fucked up.

 

[RMI]

Pretty much sums up my feelings on the police lately.

 

[Anarky]

So blowing someone's face off with a gun is basically just foreplay to this sick fuck.

 

[GhaleonEB]

He's saying killing someone is a literal turn on.

I respectfully suggest these people should not be cops.

 

[ZealousD]

I just want to point out that Dave Grossman was one of the highest profile figures in the crusade against violent video games.

 

[midramble]

Does he mean the act of killing is an aphrodisiac or that the adrenaline rush of a near death experience makes sex better?

 

[entremet]

Completely irrelevant to policing, you know, your own citizens that you are sworn to protect and serve.

The cop's comments are completely irrevelant.

I'm just saying I've heard this ridiculous and vile stuff. But from accounts of the darkest of human experience--warfare.

To have a cop bring this up in training so nonchalantly really tells you something of warped minds on the force.

 

[Obliterator]

He's saying killing someone is a literal turn on.

I respectfully suggest these people should not be cops.

And also get an immediate psych evaluation.

Because I'm pretty sure killing someone, even if it was justified, would be pretty traumatizing to someone with a clear state of mind

[ramparter]

Any activity is going to be more fun after your body releases endorphins from a strenuous activity like that. But that just seems like a weird thing to say out loud.

What about feeling depressed after killing someone thought. I wouldnt even think about having sex for days...

 

[atr0cious]

Reading the article puts it into horrifying context. The dude is telling rookie cops to use lethal force more.

Grossman’s classes teach officers to be less hesitant to use lethal force, urge them to be willing to do it more quickly and teach them how to adopt the mentality of a warrior...

Grossman closes the class with a (literal) chest-pounding motivational speech that climaxes with Grossman telling the officers to find an overpass overlooking the city they serve. He urges them to look down on their city and know that they’ve made the world a better place. He then urges them to grip the overpass railing, lean forward and “let your cape blow in the wind.” The room gives him a standing ovation.

Fucking terrifying. It's like that Schumer skit about football rapists.

WOW.

So virtually killing someone is a no no but actually killing someone and getting off on it is okay?

 

[Rexatality]

I just want to point out that Dave Grossman was one of the highest profile figures in the crusade against violent video games.

So in other words, he's a hypocrite

For real. I've volunteered to do mental health debriefings with officers involved in violent incidents and after something like that, having fun in the sack is the last thing on the mind of any well-adjusted person and their significant other.

Either it's bravado unbecoming a civil servant mandated to use lethal force or it's a serious psychological liability.

is this like those closeted anti-gay pastors/politicians

Hope this guy's cape gets caught in a turbine

Lotta reading comprehension failure in this post

 

[Brutalitops]

Lotta reading comprehension failure in this post

Should have quoted your own post fam.

 

[Oersted]

I've heard this before from reading military accounts and such.

It's a not a new thing.

Let's not forgot about sacking cities and rape by soldiers in the Bronze Age.

But you would think law enforcement would have greater standards than this tho.

You don't have to go that far back

Seriously, murder as an aphrodisiac isn't that big a deal. Don't knock it 'til you try it.

 

[Rentahamster]

That's a quote right out of Game of Thrones. WTF man.

 

[ZealousD]

is this like those closeted anti-gay pastors/politicians

Seriously, you can look up on YouTube and see all sorts of videos of him talking to the media about the dangers of video games.

And here he is saying.... after you kill somebody.... you gonna fuck real good.

 

[VanWinkle]

That is honestly terrifying. This guy needs to be fired immediately. A cop should never have a mentality like that.

 

[Brutalitops]

Seriously, murder as an aphrodisiac isn't that big a deal. Don't knock it 'til you try it.

Wanted to reply to this with that Scooby Doo fetish gif but it was already posted ;_;

 

[Indelible]

This idiot needs mental help before he infects other people with this garbage.

 

[Massive Duck. C.M.]

Don't fucking call me "fam"

 

[MegaManTrigger]

Idk why the cop thought it was a good idea to ever voice those thoughts. So now he looks like an idiot who thinks with his littler guy when dealing with an intense life-or-death situation.

He should have kept this to himself. It's inappropriate.

 

[Brutalitops]

Don't fucking call me "fam"

There is no need to be so rude tbh fam

 

[ISWThunder]

Not a whole lot of perks? Besides being basically immune to serious prosecution and traffic violations, an excellent pension, and the undying respect of millions of Americans.

But at least you can bust a strong nut after shooting someone in the face.

Mind you he is paid to say these things to cops in training, this is his job, his living. He teaches this every time he lectures. The film this article is about is now at the top of my list of films to see by the end of the year, his eyes and mannerisms are those of a man unhinged by his own bloodthirst.

 

[Brutalitops]

I would like to assume he means the adrenaline rush makes the sex amazing, kind of like fucking after a workout or like a near death experience.

Unfortunately he just sounds fucking insane.

 

[the-pi-guy]

Does he mean the act of killing is an aphrodisiac or that the adrenaline rush of a near death experience makes sex better?

I think I've heard the latter before. Not sure where I've heard it, maybe Bones.

The extra messed up part is acting like it's a perk.
I can imagine a cop being in the latter situation (near death adrenaline rush), but acting like it's part of the reason you go to a job (to kill people) is really messed up.
This guy needs to be evaluated.

 

[CTLance]

Yikes.

And also get an immediate psych evaluation.

Because I'm pretty sure killing someone, even if it was justified, would be pretty traumatizing to someone with a clear state of mind

I think, on top of that it might be prudent to review the cases that he was involved in that resulted in people getting hurt or killed.

 

[Cymbal Head]

That entire article is disturbing.

 

[GamerJM]

Uh

Even disregarding the grossness of the statement I still don't really understand what would provoke someone to say this to a class.

 

[pizzacat]

Don't fucking call me "fam"

cmon fam

 

[LookAtMeGo]

You know this is how he jokes around with all his cop buddies. Then they go out getting all sexually excited at the thought of getting to kill someone.

 

[Gentleman Jack]

Uh

Even disregarding the grossness of the statement I still don't really understand what would provoke someone to say this to a class.

Grossman is a consultant paid by police departments that trains their forces to treat the citizens they police like an active warzone, and react to anything as a threat to their own life (IT'S COMIN RIGHT FOR US) and be ready to kill at any time.

 

[anaron]

Fucking psycho.

 

[Tony Redgrave]

My brain keeps telling me this can't be real, even though I know it is.

 

[MegaManTrigger]

The film this article is about is now at the top of my list of films to see by the end of the year, his eyes and mannerisms are those of a man unhinged by his own bloodthirst.

Except there's a difference between teaching/talking about the realities of policing vs. talking about a specific sexual experience arising after a life-death situation. Not to mention, he's essentially trivializing and reducing how one would process killing another human being to thinking about sex. Not exactly an ideal way to discuss a dense topic like this.

 

[zeemumu]

He sounds like that guy's girlfriend from You're Next.

 

[Skellig Gra]

Man this dude has serious mental issues.

 

[duckroll]

The article is much more profound and important than the thread title or the specific quote suggests. I feel it is my duty to fix that.

 

[USC-fan]

Insane the article is worst than what the op even quoted.

 

[Marvel]

Wow.
