The X post showed police detaining a teen at a Walmart after managers asked for her vest back. The video captured officers repeatedly urging the teen to hand over the vest and leave peacefully.

        Yes. They get training from psychopaths who tell them that every citizen is armed and trying to harm them.

      Poor quality or no training because there are no training and education standards & no filtering for violent candidates

      poor quality or no internal affairs oversight to prosecute unnecessary escalation and police crimes

      police unions that abuse the idea of worker unions to protect police from facing charges for committing crimes while wearing a badge

      no charges for turning off body cams during arrests or interrogations

      immunity laws that privilege police to protect them from facing liability for crimes they commit while on the clock

      failure to hold trainers and leaders accountable for the ill prepared and violent individuals they pay to put on the street with a badge who constantly escalate

      no licensing to revoke so when a violent criminal is fired they can move a state or county over and get hired into police again

      I think they get a higher score the more they act like a complete douche and shitrag. Unsure what the score is for but seems to be a safe assumption
