“It’s about looking at the things we use cops for and asking if they’re the right training for the job.”
We use our military as cops worldwide - that they’re not trained for, either. Maybe we should bring them home and send the cops out in their place...
Actually these days our military are probably better trained as cops than our cops. They also have much stricter regulations for physical engagement, as soon as things get mildly violent they’re basically automatically in trouble and the investigation is looking for why they should be busted down not why they should be exonerated. That’s really what we need to bring home, the mentality of not shrugging off violence as part of the job.
