but he provided no proof = he's full of shitThe job attracts certain types of individuals that are ill suited for police work. The sadist, the racist, the weakling looking for respect, the lazy looking for a civil service job. Can't see that any department does enough to weed out the ones wanting to be a cop for the wrong reasons.
I've often felt that way as well. Only 30 percent of the population in the US between the ages of 18 and 35 are eligible to serve in the military. But, apparently, just about anyone can be a cop. There is also the question of training as well. I was on the Security Force while stationed at Newport RI, and we weren't taught to empty our weapon into a target, we were taught to fire a couple of rounds, stop, assess the situation, and fire more rounds down range if required, but if not, stop shooting. We were taught to use only the minimum force required for the situation.
