“Another issue, though, is training. Not better training, different training.”

When one reads the plethora of police encounters escalating into brutal, eventual thuggery and too often lethality. You observe not a lack of training. The actions in these encounters many times show training that is designed to escalate and compound what would normally be a simple inquiry, but overbearing cops with egos put the civilian in an established, volatile dynamic.

If better training is the assumed remedy, what are the police departments instilling in their personnel? The culture of LEO is rife with authoritarian entitlement. That is the problem we face.
