Just explaining why my ears perk up at the idea, not that it'd end up doing much even best case scenario if done w/out comprehensive reform

Modern (racist) policing, at least in maj cities, isnt systematically destructive bc of indv cop biases. Policy & technology drive it, actly

There is also, I've heard, scant evidence that IB training changes policing outcomes. Cc @avitale

Thank you, that's sort of what I expected & it all makes sense. Are either of you willing/able to point me toward any particular research?

Full disclosure I'm so bad at google when it comes to shit like this lol but yeah I feel like learning about micro-level interventions—

—can make it easier to discount macro-level forces. I try to avoid that (I think l hedged my statements to that effect well lol) & yet!

I'm an educator so my praxis is all micro, but it's really useful to understand IBT training in terms of its limitations v. systemic limits

Stop, read J's many published articles and interviews on the topic. It's abt lived reality under brutal police, not an academic exercise.
