    I’ve said it before. I’ll say it again. I used to think America police desperately needed more training. I’ve changed my mind. American police prove time & time again that they are fully able to peacefully arrest armed white MURDERERS without violence.https://twitter.com/shaunking/status/1055564964042280960 …

        American police agencies desperately need to do an adequate job of screening out ghost skins in their recruitment and hiring processes. The infiltration has been deliberate and aggressive. Attempts to clean it out need to be even more so.

        It seems the police have more of a recruiting and background check problem. In the 10+ years has the FOP even addressed this report? Any initiatives? Community boards? Any type of reform at all?https://www.pbs.org/newshour/amp/nation/fbi-white-supremacists-in-law-enforcement …

        You are correct, Shaun. If WE were thinking like the HR department, we would say, HEY, the company provided PLENTY TRAINING, WHY HAVE U NOT DONE YOUR JOB PROPERLY? Um. FIRED! But nope. POLICE ASSOCIATIONS seem to think TAXPAYERS waste dollars on UNTRAINED police on the sTREETS?

        They need more racial and cultural training. They lack cultural competency. Again, when does this end? Someone needs to figure it out. #CriminalJusticeReformpic.twitter.com/MBqoDKYo4C

        About 10 years ago the FBI did an investigation and concluded that white supremacist joined Police departments around the country. So why are you surprised? All the facts are available problem is people just gloss over them until they are affected by it.

        Training varies in its quality, but all need to operate under laws, and an independent enforcement mechanism, which guarantee consequences when any adverse action is taken against a citizen which is not objectively unavoidable.
