RE: Gun Control Logic Fails as Cop Says He Wants Parkland Anti-Gun Activists To Be Killed
Again this just means that the level of training police officers get is extremely poor, new cadets and batches need to be trained more rigoursly and we need to assess their views and mental health, to see that they don't side with any ideology and their only ideology is the protection of the public at all costs.
But if you do all that then there are not enough recruits to staff the department.
I’d rather have less but competent police who follows protocols rigorously is neutral on politics and works always for th best of the public than have lots of below competent cops running around and endangering the public rather than protecting them.
you might think so but you need a certain minimum number of warm bodies to respond to the number of calls you get. Cops are not allowed to be too smart. The police have gone to court for the right to discriminate against people they deem to be too smart in hiring. Score too high on the intelligence test and they can legally refuse to hire you.
Oh god the whole system Is corrupt.
one of the arguments the police successfully used to defend the practice in court was saying that someone who was too smart was more likely to get bored and become corrupt or to abuse their power. We are lucky cops are dumb aren't we?
