The problem lies with whatever f’d up standards were used to hire these ghetto gang bangers as cops.

Agreed but the US military has turned thousands of young black men from a lifetime of crime into American patriots. It can be done.

I think these officers would have been better served by less equity inclusion, critical race theory and EEO training and more actual police training. These guys did not seem to have the most fundamental arrest skills.

Its kind of like calf roping the clock starts ticking when the barrier drops. Every second you delay cost you.

For cops the clock starts ticking the second you put hands on someone to make an arrest. Well trained officers can tag um and bag um and have them in the back of the vehicle in under 60 seconds.

Every minute after that bad things start to happen. The uncontrolled perp starts escalating and becoming more agitated. Crowds form, cameras start recording and people start playacting for the cameras.

You don't deescalate the situation on the street you do it when the perp is safely secured in the police vehicle.

Goes back to My Lai (1968) and even further back. What causes a group of people to almost instantly become a pack of animals?

"the US military has turned thousands of young black men from a lifetime of crime into American patriots."

I would agree except you're talking about the military and the discipline that it instills, not the police. I think it's always good for police to have military experience first so that they understand what it is.
