I wish someone could explain to me why police in other countries de-escalate situations nonviolently in so many instances where police in the U.S. are more likely to shoot to kill. We talk about “better police training” but nothing seems to change...

(I corrected a deleted tweet. Thank you for the advice from so many. One veteran wrote of how police training started changing in the 90s. Please re-post. I know I should’ve left the other one up. Just learning…)

In our country (in EU), it is super rare that anyone would attack the police, thus police does not need to attack back. When police says to do stuff, people comply, and situation sorts out flawlessly. Pretty super rare to hear that someone would attack police or other way around.

Because there’s never any punishment for shooting first. Biggest duh in the world.
