Bottom line, we have a paramilitary force for law enforcement that is woefully trained. Maybe if they held the few bad apples accountable and ended qualified immunity? Instead we get “have coffee with a cop” and other bs attempts at outreach and building relations

The issue with training is that every state has their own standards. Within each state, every county, city and town has their own standards and policies for training in addition to how much money is budgeted for training. So that brings up a question do we need a national training standard for all law enforcement in the entire country? You won’t be able to do that without government intervention and with as jacked up as DC currently is, is that something we should want? What would the cost be and how do is it get implemented? Then if the Feds get involved you have to worry about DEI being a thing, about the Feds having a say in local policy thus opening up the lefts dream of a national police force. No thanks

As far as qualified immunity goes, how does opening up individual police officers to civil liability make everyone safer or the job better? Putting this situation aside because this cop did not handle the situation properly at all; if an officer acts within the law and within policy how does still making that officer open to being sued benefit anyone other than trial lawyers and activists
