    If a man beats his wife would you blame training? Would you say “that guy needs better training in not hitting her”? When you blame training you absolve bad cops, it assumes bad cops can be reformed, and it also frames the incident as a “mistake”. This is why youve been trained (ironically enough) to blame training.

      You can punish him AND blame the training too, then change the training.

      We can do more than one thing.

        When meeting a knight on the battlefield attack his shield. When and only when his shield is broken to pieces attack his sword. When and only when his sword is broken in two, attack the knight.

      This is a horrible take. A police force only works if they follow a strict set of rules, so we need those rules to be well thought out and defined. Every officer needs to be following their directives to the letter if the police is ever going to be good.

        99% of the time in these incidents the reason they happen is because they are psycho cops ignoring training and rules. There is no rule saying to mag dump into an unarmed autistic kid because you were scared. Its not that they dont know. Its the warrior cop super soldier occupying force bullshit thats the problem. What is missing is the punishment element when training is ignored. Bad shoot? Homicide charge. Every fucking time!!! Not retraining.

      Everyone needs training for their job. If they do not follow their training, they are probably not doing a good job.
