but she was trained at the academy to ask that question!

I believe that's a +1 for RR vs coronach and mrat

There is a big difference between being trained to ask a question in the academy and being REQUIRED by policy (per RRs assertion) to do something. Training is basically a general guideline on how to behave on the job. Training is not some holy grail on how to be a LEO. Some of the training we receive is absolute BS and the the flavor of the week. I am trained to shoot twice in the body one in the head, that doesn't mean I am required to do it nor do I run around doing it to everyone I encounter.
