- jfengel 4y agoOK. If the result of that decompression is fewer people killed because the police officers made poor decisions due to stress, I'm all for paying for more police officers. I'd also like to do a lot of things to reduce the work loads of existing police officers, like not sending people with guns to situations that won't involve guns. Unfortunately, every situation in America potentially involves guns, so that may be an intractable problem. But it would be nice to start with "This situation calls for a counselor rather than a cop", and let the cops handle more cop-oriented situations.
- sarlalian 4y agoI don't think they meant a week off of work. They meant a week off of the streets to decompress. That time should obviously be filled with activity that helps both from a training standpoint and a decompression standpoint.
