As someone who has multiple police in his family and witnessed their training, I am fairly certain you are over generalizing and have no idea what you're talking about.
- coldtea 8y agoYeah, it's not like statistics totally back this up. Or that, "someone who has multiple police in his family" could be biased.
- longerthoughts 8y agoStatistics absolutely say that encounters with police in the US are statistically far more dangerous than other developed countries. As far as I know, statistics do not say US police are generally murderous cowards or that an officer in the US is more likely to be morally bankrupt - you are saying that. Given that police in the US are more likely to encounter dangerous situations than other developed countries [0], it seems plausible that officers in the US enter interactions with a higher level of fear are more likely to do something stupid as a result. Apparently whatever screening and training they get isn't enough because these are the people who are supposed to be able to handle these exact situations.
