Can't keep them on the force.family and friends in Europe are baffled at how quickly police in the US go through training and are handed a gun and a badge.
Defunding them will only make it worse.
The other problem is...
Do we let anyone be a cop to encourage diversity and inclusion? Or do we set standards?
If we set standards.... Will we match them with pay and opportunity?
Who wants to be an eagle scout with a bachelors degree, compete a rigorous background check, do two years of training, two years of working in a country jail to finally get a squad car and work 12 hour nights making $40k a year and get fired the minute someone makes a complaint?
Either way, body cameras should become federally mandatory. HD video technology is so damn cheap today any single lawsuit these departs lose would fund cameras for 20 years.
It would go a long way towards at least correcting the narrative on some of the hystics in the media..
