Anyone who says they can tell someone is lying is bullshitting themselves imo. Where do they get this belief from? I wonder would any of them do better than a coin flip in a double blind trial.

  With cops, I wouldn't be surprised if they've had woo-heavy bullshit training about spotting liars. [EDIT] TFA specifies that in this case, however, it was not from official training.

    And it's nihilist: Same officer, another case, same phrases, there he testifies the warning sign was the laughter. https://x.com/OrinKerr/status/1715764780567572945?s=20 https://x.com/OrinKerr/status/1715764780567572945?s=20 It's about power. I don't mind police generally, and the bitter negative majority take really turned me off for 30+ years. But they're right. It's about power. The bitter negativity just results from seeing what happens when you're on the wrong side of that. I've been lucky enough to avoid it.

>Note that the officer said he got that from other officers, not from official training. This is something that surfaced in the public discourse during the George Floyd protests. The average police officer doesn't receive as much formal training as most people think. Most police academies last less than a military boot camp, and a rookie is expected to get most of their training on the job, which is how this guy was taught this nonsense.
