Not really.
Military training is "do your job and know that you will be called to account if you do things that are wrong."
Police tactical training is, "As long as I make it home safe everything I do is justified."
So, yes, "tactical training" where the police are trained to act like "the military according to Hollywood" is to blame.
I think the unions also bear responsibility for the development of the unprofessional us vs them attitude that has resulted in the breakdown of relationship between the public and law enforcement.
I will agree with that.
I will also state that Hollywood which portrays the police in TV and Movies as routinely violating the law and that being the "right thing" has a lot to do with way the police view themselves.
Take the movie that they were waiting to see. The SEAL's behind enemy lines let the civilians go knowing that likely they would run straight to the Taliban.
Do you think your average police movie would show the police acting in the same manner?
No, at the very least they would have trumped up some reason to hold the civilians and "lose their paperwork" so to keep themselves safe if there was the slightest risk.
That's what I meant about the shift in focus. It used to about protecting the public, now it's about officer safety. It has changed the way they train.
Astute observation about the negative effect of Hollywood glorification of "rogue" cops and the end justifies the means BS.
