Your opinion is ill-founded. I doubt that anyone in military or law enforcement agrees with you. Take the Tyre Nichols incident for example. The arresting officers failed to employ several fundamental tactics that would have resulted in a better outcome.

You think with more training, they would have been able to give him a non-lethal beating?

  I think they would eagerly have followed a better course of action that didn't lead to getting fired and then prosecuted

    In New York City, the police take citizens back to the stationhouse and brutally beat them where there are no cameras.

Yes, clearly the officers were just confused and trying their best when they beat him to death. If only someone had told them not to do that.

  Police are bad at their jobs, but we should not teach them to be better at their jobs?

    That would be great, but it's not the option we're presented with. Police training emphasizes escalation of force, it frames interactions with the public as a battle, and spends an inordinate amount of time on firearms and combat. https://web.archive.org/web/20220128201854/https://www.washingtonpost.com/national-security/2022/01/26/police-training-reform/ https://web.archive.org/web/20220128201854/https://www.washi...

      There's no sense in saying that's what police training is when clearly it could take many different forms If the police are doing the wrong thing, then they need to be taught how to do the right thing. Cops have a lot of extra scrutiny and protocols than moat other professions, and they obviously want to avoid ending up in jail. Good training should teach the correct way to react to situations, and then actually put them through those situations Even something simple like "how to cuff someome who is resisting without using nonlethal weapons" would have helped a ton. This is a task that you actually need to practice rather than just read about in a book

        I will certainly agree that if police training were completely different, then it might be helpful to have more of it.
