ORIGINAL: Termyn8or ... Shoot them in the leg my ass, no gun training ever teaches that. T^T Obviously not where you are. That is one of the differences between some countries with short term training periods of a handful of weeks and other countries with minimum training of 2-3 years for police forces. Effective use of weapons without killing as well as de-escalation of potentially dangerous situations requires brains and long training. 2-3 YEARS to train a cop? Where does the money come from? Pay a man for three year to not help on the streets? I find that hard to believe. How long do they have to sign up for? Friends of mine tell stories of seeing people being beaten to a pulp for saying agreesive threatening things like what when dealing with German cops. The money is well paid for training cops that are able to do a proper job. It is a job for lifetime possibly so the money is well invested. They get trained in units called Bereitschaftspolizei which during training periods are used to support regular police units at sports events, demonstrations asf. and regular police units at intervals. It is not a matter of "belief" - get informed. I guess your "friends" with bad manners did not stop at saying aggressive threatening things ... Our cops train from the day they join up till they retire. What you're saying is, you see no benefit in extensive training for police officers and that on the job training is the best and only option. Would you let someone work on your car with minimal training as an auto mechanic, that is expected to learn primarily on the job? The average amount of training to become a police office is 19 to 21 weeks lets say 3 months, while to become a certified auto mechanic it is 51 weeks rounded equals 2 years. So it takes 8 times more training to be an auto mechanic than to be a police officer. Are cars more important and of greater value than human beings? Not to mention dealing with human beings is a more complicated issue. No, I said that the 4 months traning before going on duty is hardly the end of their training. When possible they ride with another cop for a year or so. This means they have constant supervision over that period of time. To follow your example it isn't as if a novice mechanic is let loose on your car, it is as if he works under the guidence of a master mechanic. Incorrect, you had not mention anything about the length of training in this thread until now. You did make the unsubstantiated claim they train until they retire. Until you can back that up with facts it stands as on the job training other than the initial 3 months training. Which leads to yet another question "if" they are supervised, how much training does the supervisor have? As far as auto mechanic trainees being supervised its in a class room environment not the auto repair shop that hires certified mechanics to do the actual work, you also failed to answer questions asked.
