Navy fighter pilot turned Texas cop; THIS is how police training should look

Documentary follows a Navy fighter pilot who decided to become an Austin, TX cop. This is how cops should be trained. Teaching how to deal with stress and remain calm while being talked down to. A valuable skill in the street. Better skills in fighting. Obviously from Day 1 acute accountability.

Their "boot camp" is 32 weeks....which is a LONG basic training, 3-4 times the military branches....before the cops start their field training.


About half of states train cops this way. The rest...dont. They all should. It creates more disciplined and capable cops.

"Discipline is essential. You cant have police officers out there doing whatever they want".

This is how its fixed. Police did it before in the 40s-70s when WW2 and Nam vets became cops and used heavy discipline to clean up corrupt policing.

Then...liberal hug a thug "community policing" took hold and they demanded standards be lowered to allow every dwarf and mutant out there to be a cop. Hell...for a couple years...my states academy couldnt show crime scene photos to recruits because it "disturbed" some of them. Future fucking cops having their sensitive feelings hurt by pictures!!!

Well done Austin PD and all the other city and state academies who use this model.

He went from bein' a Navy fighter pilot to bein' a cop. A once epic career turned to shit.​

Is he on Public Assistance yet? He will be...what we pay cops in Texas is laughable and then expect them to act flawlessly.

Great point. But I think Austin pays fairly well. Like starting in the 50s.

You don't know anything about his finances. He might have come into a lot of money (inheritance, oil and gas royalties, etc) and decided to do something different.

$57K/year for a probationary officer, and $70,550 after 2 years. Plus many bonuses for things like being bilingual, shift differentials, education, etc. Also superb benefits, including almost 4 weeks/year of vacation.
