Reply to comment by zarfle2 in Purple Heart awarded to deputy in fatal shooting during middle school pickup prompts backlash by SLaSZT

> Is there an award for "Impressive de-escalation" or "Showing basic humanity" or "Excellence in the field of NOT killing an unarmed person".

Those awards should be a badge, on your chest, that you get to keep wearing.

Well, maybe "Impressive de-escalation" should be worth something special. Talking someone with a weapon out of suicide-by-cop or out of homicide or something, that should get an award. Maybe authorization to wear a bowler hat on duty, or a shining silver neck-tie-with-sunglasses-shaped medal.

The award for that is a pink slip

Shooting someone innocent: paid holidays. Not shooting someone innocent: get fired.

You shouldn’t get an award for doing your job properly unless participation awards are suddenly a good thing
