>>This is before we get into whether we really even want "those people"
this is the key point. I have known many people that would like to have been a "police officer" in the sense that I believe many people think policing should be. After finding out it is more like the military than servicing the community they dropped the pursuit
More recently I have even seen many Former Military people shy away from going into the policing because the paramilitary tactics and procedures of modern militarized policing are in many ways MORE extreme than any rules of engagement that the military employed in their theaters of operation (i.e US Police treat citizens of this nation worse than the US Military does when we invade a nation)
Any Police Reform that does not involve MASSIVE demilitarization of the police force is a waste of time
- arminiusreturns 6y agoA big part of this that I don't see addressed: huge numbers of LEO's are sent to Israel to train. I don't even have to say anything further. It speaks for itself.
- selimthegrim 6y agoI think in Atlanta the instructors came from Israel to the police force.
- 1123581321 6y agoIsraelis excel in the defense industry and their mandatory military service means few people with physical and perceptual aptitude are untrained. I assume you are implying an Israeli cannot be a good police trainer because they occupy Palestine, but I disagree.
- jacobush 6y agoNo, because they are notoriously violent.
- 1123581321 6y agoSorry, you’re saying Israelis are violent as a people? Or the IDF is, or some other organization?
- jacobush 6y agoIDF or whatever the branch is called which is doing the torturing.
- syshum 6y ago>>Israelis excel in the defense industry and their mandatory military service Exactly, this means they are training police in MILITARY tactics, the entire point of this conversation was that the police need to be DEMILITARIZED, having them trained by the IDF is exact what we SHOULD NOT be doing
