Shoot or Don't Shoot? Civil Rights Activist Has Change of Heart After Training With Police -- Video
Fox 10 in Phoenix reports:
We've seen protests all across the country after police officers have been accused of shooting people who aren't armed.
But what would happen if one of those protesters looked at what it's like to wear a badge, and be put in a life or death situation?
Jarrett Maupin has been very vocal during the recent protests, leading marches on the Phoenix Police headquarters after officers shot an unarmed man who reportedly fought with them.
He agreed to go through a force on force training with the Maricopa County Sheriff's Office and went through three scenarios where you have to decide to shoot, or not to shoot.
As this video demonstrates, what Rev. Jarrett Maupin learned gave him an entirely new perspective on what police face.
"My attitude has changed," Maupin says. And so has his message.
