(951 posts)need better recruitment/recruits and more retraining. Lowering the bar by stating "we only have humans to work with", and that "this is the inevitable result of dealing with monsters" is lazy, apathetic, and does not begin to address the issues. I may not hold out any hope that this man has a soul for redemption, or even care to try, but to lower the standards and more importantly, the public trust of the legal duty of the police and it's policies and procedures, is destructive to the society as a whole. It is much bigger than just this incident. If anything the police got right down into the gutter with an unbalanced man and for all appearances, is just as sick as the perp. They are paid police officers, supposedly professionals, with a duty. They are not unpaid volunteers without policy and procedure. Where were the higher ups??
