Goon Thug Murderer Uses VirTra Systems To Train Cops
How To Murder
The training works by jolting cops with painful
electrical shocks when they hesitate to shoot.
The justification for inculcating trigger-happiness is that the alternative is
the “dire consequence” that the hesitation required for the cop to comprehend
the situation could result in the cop’s death. The training assumes that there
is no “dire consequence” to the cop murdering an unarmed innocent citizen.
Ex-cop with 6 kill notches
teaches police how to shoot or be killed

A former Arizona police
officer, who killed six people during his 12-year career before it ended after
the latest shooting, is now selling firearm training simulators that jolt
people who hesitate to shoot.
James Peters, former
police officer with the Scottsdale PD, applied for
“accidental disability retirement” in 2012 after he shot a 50-year-old man in
the head with a rifle. The deceased, John Loxas, who was holding his baby
grandson in his arms at that moment, had a record of threatening neighbors with
firearms.
Peters reported seeing a
black object in Loxas’ trouser pocket, believing it to be a handgun. It was
actually a phone, but Peters learned that only after killing the man in what he
called an action necessary to protect the baby.
The officer left the
service and was not charged over the shooting, although Scottsdale paid a $4.25
million settlement to Loxas’ family. Prior to that incident Peters, who served
some of his career as a SWAT team member, was involved in six other shootings,
it was reported at the time. Five of them were fatal, with none of them ending
in prosecution.
Less than a month after
retirement with a $4,500 monthly pension, Peters was hired by a Tempe-based
company called VirTra Systems. He is now selling and instructing customers on
the use of its products – firearm shooting simulators meant to train police and
military of how to handle themselves in a firefight, reported the
Arizona-based blog Down and Drought.
The company’s flagship
product is V-300, a simulator that places a trainee between five video screens
arcing 300 degrees that create a virtual reality around him/her, complete with
powerful audio. The trainee is also required to wear electrodes that jolt him
every time he or she sustains a wound in the simulator. VirTra Systems says the
feedback enhances the training process.
“The trainee knows they
could experience pain during training, so they take the training far more
seriously, leading to more effective training. In addition, the extra stress
and pressure during training helps better prepare the trainee for a real life
or death situation where a mistake could have dire consequences,” it says
in a press release.
The report however is
highly critical of the approach, arguing that it basically encourages people to
shoot first and ask questions later.
“VirTra's pain compliance training operates on
the theory that officers who hesitate to take action, die,” it said. “The
pain conditioning kicks in when the officer fails to react quickly enough, with
the goal of reinforcing training. In essence, it recreates being shot, an
outcome that VirTra's officer-safety-first-and-foremost training strongly
implies is the losing outcome.”
VirTra Systems says it
supplies its products to some 200 police and military organizations around the
world. V-300s
may cost up to $300,000 apiece.
