Do you not recall the Stanford Prison Experiment? Although the analysis of results has been debated, it’s very likely that a combination of the personality drawn to policing and the training & environment create these issues.

"What makes police feel they have permission to act this way?" Probably the fact that he had a knife and came at the police rapidly. Didn't just "walk" and had repeatedly asked police to shoot him. I think maybe police were justified in acting in self defense?

We already know. It's in their training. That's why more training is never the answer.

President Biden at #SOTU: "We should all agree, the answer is not to defund the police. It's to fund the police." "Fund them with resources and training, resources and training they need they need to protect their communities."

As you know, the conditioning runs deep in this culture. Here is a situation that brings hope and a reason to continue praying that those on the front lines open their heart to be guided by a higher power.

Because that’s exactly who they are and are funded to be?
