the real solution is the prolonged training. you telling me that 6 months will make you a cop in the US is crazy. it takes a few years to learn any trade or profession, how could it be so short for such a high responsibility job? how anyone ever signed off on such a system is beyond me. you don't become a painter in 6 months, so how you gonna be a cop? it takes a good 6 months of daily interactions just to see if someone has the temperament and mental stability to even start to become a cop. thats why its good to make it so you have to have a profession to even begin the training. it means you don't get immature, power tripping sociopaths able to be police. they need to be screened for power tripping tendencies just as much as for honesty.
but yes, they should not have legal immunity if they break the law, the fact that this is even an issue is insane too. of course they shouldn't have immunity from breaking the law fs
