That’s where the whole ‘...what to expect if you deviate from that protocol’ comes into play. If you resist, we are going to taser or use deadly force...we told you we would and explained why last Sunday after the 2nd quarter of the Raiders game.

Cities are different. NOPD is really good at crowd control and major events, but shitty at most everything else. Livingston is good at jizzing in children’s cupcakes, but shitty at most everything else. Each Department everywhere has special needs, there’s no way to have your idea.
There’s already Federal training academies for police, just for specific training.

Yeah local ones that take any old dumbass off the street. Not a national one that cranks out elite officers

Absolutely not, the last thing needed is to encourage cops to be more like soldiers. There are too many ex military in law enforcement already, it has fostered a us vs the enemy mentality. They already dress in military garb, and act like they are SEAL Team 6.

It’s hilarious when the ones who weren’t military do this.

Buying used military equipment and using it on the five o’clock news isn’t very comforting

Pretty sure you have to go to an accredited police academy to join most LEO

The military is full of the same morons who pull this crap in a police uniform, they just have a security clearance. I say this as former military.

I feel like just not having them enforcing so many drug laws would solve a lot of problems.

It’s all about training and the academy’s responsibilities to weed out the mentally and physically unfit cadets.

Of course you do, but the LEO’s that were never military that act like they ARE military is amusing.

Which one? None of that looked like it involved any type of protocol You talking about the karate kick to the back? It’s crazy, you can’t tell me they are trained to handle uncomfortable situations this way.

We don't really have a police problem, we have a too many stupid people problem.

The best and fastest way to fix the police is to re-establish normal standards of behavior for our citizenry.

50% of Americans are basically oxygen thieves with an attitude of nothing to lose so they couldn't care less.

Of course we do. Too many Napoleons with a badge have been shitbags for decades. Their problem is that they can't get away with it anymore. They can't sweep it under the rug. Portable audio and portable video is the worst thing that has ever happened to the thin blue line.

Mandated body cams for all officers and police videos would go a long way to fixing many of these problems. They know that they are being watched at all times.
