It goes both ways. Better training would go very far as would more money and better oversight in social services.
The current state of social services are an even bigger dumpster fire than policing; it's just less photogenic and more for bureaucratic reasons.
Given history and current culture the former is more realistically attainable than the latter IMO.
- klyrs 4y agoInteresting that you think that social services need oversight but police need training.

- corbulo 4y agoIt doesn't matter how good police oversight is if the training sucks. No department is gonna fire all their officers. See: Tyre Nichols officers, that police department lowered hiring standards to make even prior felonies wavierable a year or two prior to that incident (because no one wants to be a cop due to the bad pr). Social services have gigantic waste, bureaucratic rule problems and for many social services jobs the real training is outside of the governments purview (degrees). So the issues with personnel quality aren't as easily correctible by better training like for police (though it still plays a part).
