I agree the police need much more training.

    This video woke me up. I have never been a cop but this made a lot of sense to me.

    I think the public needs more training so they don't act like idiots and get shot.

    If you fight with a cop then steal his weapon let me just tell you this.

    You're probably going to get shot.

    Hi Spooky! Been a long time. Did you watch the video though?

    I agree with your post though, even though it should be common knowledge by now.

    I'm just popping in for a minute cause I'm bored and no I didn't watch it because it's too long. If I watched every video over 10 minutes long that people post it would take every hour of every day.

    I get it, but if you find a little extra time, I recommend this one.

    I know a great way to make sure the cops are well trained- defund them, slash their training budgets, and flush the money down the nearest social services program toilet instead.

    That oughta fix 'er right up.

    I recommend this video, the guy has some unconventional ideas about police training that might surprise everyone. If you have just 16 mins (I think).

    Does it surprise anyone that they are talking about slashing the police budget at the same time they are recommending more training for the officers?

    Excellent video made perfect sense to me. I think the vast majority of cops are good decent people who have undertaken a dangerous job which in many cases they have not had proper training to perform at a high level.

    I think the vast majority of violent criminals are bad people who have undertaken a dangerous lifestyle and which in many cases they get what they had coming.
