Police are trained for 11-12 weeks in Tennessee. 3 months is not long enough for something like that. I work for the IRS and onboarding was that long and we frequently get training sessions of up to a month or more when trained in a new application. Im just helping people with their tax inquiries. Why is someone in charge of enforcing the laws having training as exstensive as mine? I didn’t even understand how to do my job for months after I was on the floor doing it. Other countries police academies last a year or more.
No amount of training will prevent this sort of thing, ever. There is nothing anyone can do to stop travesties like this from happening. We can likely limit it, some of it, but not outright stop it from happening.
This is a pipe dream. You will never disarm American police and you will never disarm American civilians. You have to understand here that there isn’t “one police” in the US. The US is a system of states, and the federal government is highly hamstrung when it comes to their authority over the states. Each state is independent and makes their own rules and regulations. Generally even if they refuse a federal mandate all that happens is a potential reduction of federal funding.
And policing is even more granular. A single state may have many different forces which all use different training, methods, equipment, and funding. And even more in addition, the US is not a very homogenous nation like so many others. China, Japan, Russia, Norway, Sweden, Denmark, and more are all very homogenous. In the US you can go from a place where crime is virtually nonexistent to one of the most dangerous places on earth. Policing in these areas needs to function very differently. There are Walmart’s in the country for instance where police are never called and others where police are there every single day.
The notion that, “we can disarm everyday policing” is a claim I’m afraid I have to laugh at. It shows naivety to a system you don’t understand. What’s the last thing you honestly think you voted for that made large, lasting change? Politicians aren’t your friends, they are your enemy. Even the ones you “voted” for. What a politician wants first and foremost is power, and they will do what they must to maintain that power. They will rob and murder you keep in mind, if it gives them that power because remember, when it’s political, it’s not about you.

The fuck we can’t. We can disarm everyday policing and only have specialised response teams with firearms. You know, like in civilised countries.

You have that like a direct quote.
