CASE IN POINT.
A Law Enforcement officer took a gun away from an assailant. Then he gave it
back to him, (training). He got shot, and luckily got the weapon away again!
Training can get you so comfortable with sparring, to the point you lose your
perspective.That you can get seriously hurt!

In my dojo, we've heard this rumor also. While we have not verified the information, we decided as a class that whoever started the rumor had a good point. As such, now when practicing weapons takeaway techniques, we either throw the weapon from the area in the case of a knife, or lock and load the weapon at the opponent in the case of a gun. This gets us into the habit, at least, of keeping the weapon away from the attacker once we've got control of it.

I have always said that law enforment only gets enough training to get themselves killed. Too many instructors don't train their students for realistic practical applications of their skills. Yeah, maybe a cop could take a gun away from someone that has no real training, but against even a low ranking serious (and i stres the word serious) practitioner, all the cop is goin to do is wind up hurt. Even against an experienced street fighter, the cop is outclassed. MOST law enforcement never get any trainig outside of what is provided by their academy and later the refreshers provided by their respective enforcment agencies. Even intraiing you do NOT return an opponents weapon reflexively. You wait for the intsructor to signal to repeat the sequence, start the practice of a new sequence, or end the training. I have said it before and I will say it again, you fight like you train because you train like you fight. That is reason that I have ALWAYS emphasized practicality and realism in training my own students. That is also why I have spent so much time training people that are likely to have run ins with the law to handle themsleves.

That was a case of the officer forgetting where he was & what he was doing.
