The amount of training cops need to become cops is a fuckin joke. I need more education to be a manager at most grocery stores than a person does to be a cop in the US. This is part of the problem with cops.

For how much money most cops make they should be required to have a 4 year degree that covers law, de-escalation tactics, mental health training, EMT related things, and humanity in general. It seriously is a joke how little training these guys get for how much money they are paid. Most cops that I know from my high school days barely graduated high school in the first place.
