Armchair Expert

Someone who acts like they know the ins and outs of a sport despite never having actually participated in it and having accrued all of their knowledge of the game from watching matches on TV.

Armchair experts typically criticise players way too harshly or referees/umpires for decisions that are very hard to get right, even though most armchair experts would fail to run 100 metres without passing out.
Man 1: "How is he not getting to that ball?!"
Man 2: "There's no way he can possibly get to that, you're such an armchair expert.

Couch Expert

A person who watches or reads news media stories about things like Police Use of Deadly Force and then proceeds to second guess the Use of Force, without having any expertise or legal understanding of how and when it gets applied.

The Couch Expert phenomenon also includes journalists, broadcasters and reporters who do not take the time to learn or understand when and why it’s applied and when it’s justified or not.

Judges constantly fight these “couch expert” urges when they instruct juries to ignore all media.
Since you’re such a Couch Expert why don’t you provide police officers your training on Use of Force
