[QUOTE="rjs330, post: 77660369, member: 377008"] I'm not going to argue the point that police receive enough training. I think professionalism demands training. Police work has come a very long, but I do believe more training should be done before one hits the street. That being said I've seen some very bad police work done by police organizations around the world including Canada. And we have good research to show that despite the lack of training police so an excellent job with all the wild rapid changing environments and circumstances and laws. There aren't many people, including you who could do that job and do it as well as the 99% do. Doing your job means arresting people for committing crimes. And sometime even for minor offenses people will fight with the cops for any number of reasons including being on drugs. You fight with police and you must take a very large percentage of the outcome of that. De-escalation sounds great but it certainly isn't the panacea that people often make it out to be. Sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't. And that totally depends on the suspect, not the police. Yes de-escalation should absolutely be a vital part of the officers toolbelt. And as much training as can be done should be done in that area. But don't think that there will be no more people killed or injured by cops if they had more de-escalation training. I think there would be fewer uses of force with it. But I'm not convinced yet that the affect would be dramatic. [/QUOTE]
