BTW, to demonstrate that I have the same goal but the exact opposite idea about how to get it, I think we need MORE resources for better training of police
I'm using the word resources because I'm not going to be so black and white minded to claim that just throwing them more money is some kind of miracle cure. Resources can mean attention, supervision, training, auditing, all sorts of non-monetary measures
I think the issues come from a number of reasons including:
People that should not be police officers are being hired as police officers. This is an issue with whoever is doing the hiring
People that should be police officers not being properly trained on how to be an officer that does not unjustifiably use lethal force. This is an issue with whoever trained that particular officer
Some cops may have some secret deep-seeded racism. Once again, if it is not spotted, then this is an issue with the hiring process, or monitoring of police practices
MORE resources, goes towards fixing all these things
