re: #46 Nojay UK

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.

Given stuff like warrior cop training, I’m not sure prior military service is the source of the problem.

Also, the clear pattern is not “cops shoot reflexively” but “cops reflexively shoot black men regardless of the level of threat, and people displaying mental health distress that cannot comply, and use physical force against small children…all because they have absolutely no conflict resolution skills and believe all noncompliance to be a potentially lethal threat” which is indicative of a different problem.
