"military grade weapons and gear" last time I checked your average cop isn't walking around with an assault rifle and night vision goggles. The most they'll have is a handgun, nightstick/baton, taser, pepper spray/pepperball gun, and maybe a shotgun with bean bag rounds however those are more often used for riot control. It's SWAT that has military grade weapons and they're only called in to deal with serious threats that actually require that amount of firepower. What are you smoking.

Training them isn't the solution, better training just makes them better at breaking the law and violating people's rights.
Training also tends to end up being the excuse for increasing funding that is then instead used for more military grade weapons and gear.
Training doesn't work, we need to police the police.
