” When are police
departments going to get that a Police
Force does not have to ALWAYS employ
FORCE first and hire lawyers later.”

Part of the answer right there. The other part is how sheltered cops are from mistakes, especially criminally. Cops don’t fear screwing up, but enjoy power. That is a great combination.
.......I think your mostly right but what do you propose as an alternative to cops! I don’t want to go out there and fight the bad guys several nights a week!
I watched the two videos you sent. They make some good points. Thanks for sending. I think the Decatur vid consciously seeks to project a less confrontational force. I wonder if the data support that they are.
