we have to re examine policing

@SatyrService If Police trainers are going to be honest with themselves they should be ashamed of the substandard level of police work on display across various news stations in the US.

There doesn’t seem to be any evidence of psychological assessment done on cops or any sort of understanding of the ethics of arresting people.

I’m not surprised that that guy tried to run away from police. As stupid as it may seem, if it was me I’d have done the same thing. Currrntky I’d say that if you get pulled over for a minor traffic violation that you have a 90% chance of being shot or beaten up by the cop who pulled you over.
@justanothername yes were i a black man I too would have had the instinct to run, even from black officers i would not say 90% i would say a serious chance...


I investigated a while back, police hiring practices. and there were so little examinations of an officers mentality and emotional health. in many cases there were not even background checks,,i was told in confidence, "if we do what you say we will not be able to fill out or roster. the people that would fail such an exam, are the very ones drawn to policing. A college town i know requires all officers have graduated from some college degree program
that alone would be helpfull
