Good grief. It’s a challenging job to be a police officer, and we want to respect officers of the law, but how can they be screened-out for lack of common sense?
I think the kids were lucky the SWAT team wasn’t called in.
“...can they be screened-out for lack of common sense?”
Didn’t Obama recently do just that?
How about screening them thoroughly-in, and set real prerequisites in doing so. Say, more than a GED & motivated psychotic enthusiasm, lack of military experience, maturity, & discipline, or affirmative action placement (which is a “grab bag” at best).
