Training IS the issue. The length of academy training is zilch compared with the 18-24 months that's the norm in civilization. Cops in the US spend enough time in training to be taught about weapons and combat. In civilization, cadets are taught to be CITIZENS and respect their fellow citizens. In the US, applicants with enough intelligence to complete that level of training are SCREENED OUT because their IQs are in excess of standards.

@JRRob3wn Certainly. No point in training if there are no consequences for breaking that training. My point was it'd help a lot if real training even existed.

@davemarshall9665 I'd rather it never happened in the first place. The cop should have gotten the 18-24 months of real training that's standard in other countries - or not even recruited, which he probably wouldn't have been in those other countries.

@JRRob3wn Ikr? Sigh...

@davemarshall9665 I agree but I thought I made it clear I was talking about training BEFORE the officer is allowed on active duty. Training AFTER the fact is silly. My point was if the training is barely long enough to teach the cadet to dominate a suspect and doesn't bother to address acceptable/unacceptable conduct, then recruits are being put on the street before they've got any business being out there. If they got actual training and weren't let out of the academy before they prove they get it, they'd be qualified. Then if they screwed up of course they should face the same consequences (or more severe consequences) as the rest of us. The current training is a joke and for some reason the commenters in this thread passionately want to KEEP it that way and only focus on punishing cops after that approach backfires. It's like they want people to keep getting hurt and killed so there'll always be something to be incensed about.

@davemarshall9665 Thanks Dave, it's refreshing to run into a gentleman in a comment stream.

Police academy should begin with intensive training on what "rights" are. As it stands now it appears what police cadets are taught about the law stops at "I AM the law. Disobey me and you're disobeying the law."

@JRRob3wn I get your point and it's important that people be aware of this. I don't get how the people in this thread want to skip the training issue. It's like they want the abuses to continue so they can keep being outraged.

@MarkNutt37 I stand by what I said about training for important reasons but I've replied to you three times and every reply was deleted - whether by the .o.p. or by YT I wouldn't know.
