I don't fundamentally disagree with this position, but I do feel the level and types of training a US LEO should go through (yes, I suggest a Federal standard)

I don't fundamentally disagree with this position, but I do feel the level and types of training a US LEO should go through (yes, I suggest a Federal standard) should be completely different from the mess now.
The training and discipline of the Met in the UK the JNI of Japan or the German Police all are both less prone to misbehavior and more effective. Frankly, we could learn a lot from elsewhere: https://www.theatlantic.com/international/archive/2020/06/america-police-violence-germany-georgia-britain/612820/ https://www.theatlantic.com/international/archive/2020/06/am... (we won't, but we could)

- zeruch 4y agoI can't think of a single Police force these days free of scandal, but the Met, for all its issues, still is the father of modern police/detective work, with clearance rates and auditability still near the top of any list. ...and I'm a yank saying this, not a particular fan of the Met/Scotland Yard given they don't handle my neighborhood, which is known for its exceptionally bumbling poltroons for police.
