According to the poster on the other site this video is being used on a gun forum by an owner of a firearm training facility to show that cops are in need of more training.

He’s dead. He doesn’t care.
I can understand that the family would be upset, having to live through the moment over and over, but hopefully some good can come from it like what Nzoner posted below.

I think it's an insult to his honor, let me specify. Perhaps there were things he could have done differently, perhaps he did everything perfectly. Either way, he didn't die on some grand mission, he died trying to give someone a speeding ticket.

If you were to die in that way and had a choice for the video to be used over and over again as training, etc even though you knew your family would be left to endure it, would you?

If it's used for the sole purpose of training- Yes! However, this isn't solely used for training. It's on YouTube because some asshat believes the public ought to view it for its entertainment value. If it was used solely for the purpose of training, we'd never see it.

this may seem unrelated, but it's slightly related and I'm curious....are you an organ donor?

I'm curious as to how you think it's slightly related.

if it's okay to use someone's death for others to learn and you're okay with people watching your death so others can learn....then it seems reasonable you would also be ok with your dead body to be used so others can learn. It seems there's a correlation there at least to me, it does.

I would. Whether it's a military mission, a cop doing his job, or an average worker, if something can be learned and taught from my death to prevent others, by all means.

Yes. This video show cops need to be far less hesitant when dealing with crazy, non compliant assholes. If this video teaches one cop to be quicker thinking and acting and saves their own life or some innocent bystander, then good.

There's nothing wrong with showing this video. What's been done is done; and I wouldn't give two shits who saw it after I was gone. I'm sure my family would be sensible enough to understand why the video was being viewed and for what purposes it was being used and hopefully wouldn't have an issue either.

If my death was instrumental is saving other lives, yes. That is the “grandest mission” of all. And I would hope my family could find honor in that.
