The two officers that pushed a 75 year old man over in Buffalo? Students who went through a college sociology program. Your country is dealing with protests over enough "outliers" to build a wall of rememberance. Maybe you should think twice about repeating that tired argument.

Hence the above comment about them needing more training. I said nothing about current officers being well trained.

...And you're missing the point. Some of the most egregious abuses of power being recorded right now are out of departments that HAVE training and required college programs meant to teach them ethics and perspective. A system that empowers abusers is going to attract abusers.

You’re missing my point — that those “requirements” are not enough. Less money should be spent on militarized equipment and more should be spent on training officers. Again, at no point did I say current training is adequate.

Again... stop talking and actually read what I said. THEY HAVE TRAINING. THEY DON'T CARE. MORE TRAINING WILL NOT MAKE THEM CARE MORE. Dear god, if all of this does one thing, I would really like white folk to stop lecturing me as an educator on what education can do.

There are people out there who have already STUDIED this and are happy to explain how WRONG you are. You are acting like budgets exist in a vacuum. Even money spent on something that has zero impact has a NEGATIVE IMPACT on things that are underfunded instead.

Lifting the 280 character cap would not make you more right. It would just give you more room to spin your wheels in ruts that have been marked decades before you.
