3. Agreed. Poor policing seems to be rampant thoughtout the nation.

Training methods should be upgraded with an emphasize on the importance of deescalation. Educational requirements also need to be increased, perhaps to at lease an associates degree needed. And most of all psychological evaluations evaluations should become standard procedure to weed out those temperamentally unsuited for police work because now we're sending cops out onto the streets with guns and we don't know how they'll react in stressful situations and we don't find out until someone is dead, and too often it's an unarmed Black man.
