29. That's bad training.
Fri Nov 22, 2024, 10:35 AM
Nov 22

Without revealing personal info I'm saying that I know that best practices in police training are to deescalate domestic violence situations. This has been considered best practice for decades, and it's been proven to work.

And, it's always been an uphill battle to convince police departments to follow best practices. There are so many dumb, mean people who think that violence is the only answer. Trump reinforced that stupidity for four years and he'll do it again. This time, Musk will ensure that funding for better training is cut. It will be a bloodbath.

I'm just saying that there are better ways, and they've been taught and followed, and not all cops have been trained this badly.
