    I'm not sure how I feel about this one. When do Police officers switch from being government to being "the people". I have friends who are LEO so I don't see this as a frivolous question. Nor do I think a lengthy iterative checklist keeps the good guys (LEO and civilians) safe. If you take a job that has rules you don't like, you have the option leaving or not complying with the rule.

    If the officers fail to comply with the policy are they guilty of a crime or subject to discipline by their employer?

    I wonder if the Seattle use of force policy applies to off duty officers? I think it would be simpler to make the officers case, if Seattle applied the same policy to off duty officers and personally owned weapons.

    Wouldn't be a crime if it falls within the law. Dept policy can and often is stricter than the law. That doesn't necessarily make the policy right or good.
