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…)

The answer is because THERE IS NO ACCOUNTABILITY WHATSOEVER FOR COPS THAT BULLY AND KILL PEOPLE! We have cops all over the country that have killed 3-4 people and still get to keep their jobs
Replying to @marwilliamson
Which other countries?
Replying to @marwilliamson
Police in other countries with regimes supported by the US kidnap, torture and murder, and at night they become death squads and militias. Think Chile, Argentina, Paraguay, Guatemala, El Salvador, Guatemala. It will get worse. Fight or flight.

I wish someone would let me know why Marianne, who claims to be about truth, hasn’t said anything about the H*nter B*den laptop 🧐 Your silence says more than 1,000 words

They aren't always successful, and demographic differences between us and other western countries makes it even more likely we wouldn't be able to successfully pacify some situations without lethal force.

Woman, you wouldn't accept the truth if it was right infront of you. Stop asking questions you can't comprehend the answers for.

Its almost like they need more funding for training 🤨

.@AndrewYang idea of having cops learn jiu jitsu is sounding better and better.
