Creating on set of standards gasworedfor other professions and it will work for police. Blacks have faced tyranny here with how things are now. So have many whites who are poor. So something needs to be done to stop it.
Bullshit. They are informed anbout the situation when they are dispatched to the scene. In the OP they tortured this man for 16 hours. The excuses need to end.
So stats from the Officer Down Memorial websIte, the police killings database and the police study from the Lancet are fake news.So far this year 59 police have died while on duty. 21 by gunfire.
They have killed 438 people
The 2019 Global Burden of Diseases, Injuries, and Risk Factors Study showed that from 1980-2018, police in the United States killed 30,800 people. During this same time police killed 293,000 people worldwide. Despite the U.S. having 4 percent of the global population, American law enforcement was responsible for more than 13 percent of all police killings in the world.
Fatal police violence by race and state in the USA, 1980â2019: a network meta-regression
We found that more than half of all deaths due to police violence that we estimated in the USA from 1980 to 2018 were unreported in the NVSS. Compounding this, we found substantial differences in the age-standardised mortality rate due to police violence over time and by racial and ethnic groups...www.thelancet.com
There are no excuses for police behavior.
Yes you are full of bullshit. As usual. In a given situation, the cop has less than a second to decide whether he's possibly going home or going in the coroner's wagon. If you weren't such a coward, you'd go on one of those calls and see what happens. Your pathetic excuses need to end.
You wrote a lot but you didn't answer what I asked. It was a simple and direct question.OMG!
The purpose of education is to teach one how to continue to teach themselves.
All Life and any career path is most effective if pursued with ongoing learning and enhancement.
Your rough and rude attempt at a "When did you stop beating your spouse?" displays how ignorant and/or uninformed on this topic and issues you are. OR - how much you have an agenda of disinformation.
I can't speak for other parts of the country (haven't researched such) but here in my State most(not all) Law Enforcement hired positions require at least two-year degree(Associates) in "Criminal Justice" and many to most prefer(require) at least a four year Bachelors.
As for my county, our Sheriff's Dept*. oversees certification of local municipal police depts. and also handles county wide Emergency Management Services (EMS) such as dealing with Natural disasters and civil disorder, etc.
* The "Sheriff" is an elected position. Such person is the main head/CEO of the Sheriff's Dept. for the county.

FYI & FWIW
Bullshit. I don't need to go on a call. The police in the OP had 16 hours. The policeman that killed Roger Fortson shot first then asked him to drop his gun. Police have shot people in the back and clamed they were threatened. Stop trying to make excuses for ba cops.
Since 21 have died by gunfire and they have killed over 400 there ain't all that much hesitation going on. Police have put this pressure on themselves by violating citizens rights.
Again, the criminal was a threat with a gun. You want Criminals to have unlimited rights while Police become clay target ducks? Why don’t we get the Criminals locked up instead of roaming about causing mayhem.
Well dumb-shyte and rectum-brain, it should be obvious that like all professions, police/LEO can always use more training and should pursue such.
I’m fed up with people thinking the federal government has the solutions to all problems.It's just getting ridiculous. There has to be national standards created for policing. That's all there is to it.
Police pressured him to confess to a murder that never happened. Now, Fontana will pay him $900,000
The city of Fontana has agreed to pay nearly $900,000 to settle a federal lawsuit filed by a man who said police pressured him to falsely confess to a murder that never happened.
During a 17-hour interrogation in August 2018, Fontana Police Department officers questioned Thomas Perez Jr. about the disappearance of his father, whom Perez had reported missing. Officers alleged Perez had murdered his father and, when Perez denied the accusation, officers tried to convince him that he had forgotten the crime, according to a federal lawsuit, court records and video of the interrogation.
Throughout their lengthy questioning of Perez, officers used a variety of tactics aimed at goading him into confessing. They brought his dog into the interrogation room, told him the dog had walked through blood and would be sent away to be euthanized. They drove Perez to a dirt lot and asked him to walk around in search of his dad’s body. They told him that his father’s body was in a morgue.
“You murdered your dad,” one of the officers said, according to video of the interrogation. “Daddy’s dead because of you.”
At the 16-hour mark, Perez told police that he had gotten into an altercation with his father and had stabbed him.
But a major problem with that confession soon emerged: Perez’s father was alive and safe.
