    I used to say that American police need more training on how to peacefully arrest people. That's not true. They peacefully arrest white mass murderers on a regular basis. Most are still fully armed when arrested. It's not lack of training - it's the presence of racism.

        In the service and retail industry there are secret shoppers to monitor if they are following all steps of service. Why do we care more about keeping our servers and cashiers accountable than our police force? They should be regularly monitored as well

        $$ always the answer. Secret shoppers are hired by the private company or third parties the company hires for quality assistance. Police have no quality assistance they are state paid. Not only that, state defended when they shoot people. All state money. 0 impetus to improve

        Its not lack of training but lack of humanity and in some cases empathy for someone who may look different to them. Its not about training but eradicating small-mindedness, racism, ignorance and prejudice

        It is both. They need to be trained to treat every situation and person equally, that is not the case during practicum training. Institutional racism finds its way into the training.

        I strongly disagree. It's not both. The institution of law enforcement and it's multiple, agencies, is way too mature (old) to use the excuse that they need to be trained on fundamental community policing and engagement. It's 2018! We are all far to experienced. With each other.

        As someone who has worked with a police department on how to reduce officer involved shootings, I disagree. Lack of, and deemphasized, human interaction training is a serrious issue as is the lack of mentorship.

        It's worse than that it's racists training, they always say the same words after they murder someone "I saw a gun, I was scared" no matter how unlikely it could be true. It's a script

        And the permission of racism. Why is a harsher, separate set of laws and policies applied to black and brown Americans? Let's call it what it is: Apartheid.
