re: #39 FFL (GOP Delenda Est)
Discussion of police training standards comes up on a Discord server I hang out with all the time. The Europeans are aghast at the US standards since the standard over there (or at least where the posters are from) is a 3-year program and essentially the equivalent of a college degree.
There is no rotating door from military service into policing in the UK. This may be the biggest mistake the US state police forces make, recruiting ex-servicemen and women into civilian policing.
