February 24, 201511 yr NYPD using ?Road House? movie to teach cops how to ?be nice? | New York Post I can see a lot of people telling the NYPD, "I though you'd be taller" The NYPD has turned to Patrick Swayze to teach city cops how to behave. Police bosses are using a scene from the 1989 action flick “Road House” as part of the mandatory, three-day retraining course for 22,000 cops, The Post has learned. “You have to have a thick skin,” an instructor told cops forced to take part in the $35 million program before hitting play on the two-minute clip from the cult classic, sources said. In the scene, Swayze — playing a tough-guy bouncer, Dalton — teaches his goons at the rowdy bar Double Deuce how to handle unruly customers. First, he spells out three rules, with the third being simply, “Be nice.” “If somebody gets in your face and calls you a c–ksucker, I want you to be nice. Ask him to walk. Be nice. If he won’t walk, walk him. But be nice. If you can’t walk him, one of the others will help you, and you’ll both be nice,” he says. “I want you to remember that it’s a job. It’s nothing personal.”

Closing eyes during a tense situation...thats pretty stupid. That is silly I agree. But I don't think this training is a bad thing for the minority of hot heads on the force. We know they exist so it's a good thing to have a training around these situations.

It takes seconds someone to pull a gun, knife, swing a shovel at you....close your eyes and you might as well shoot yourself.
