Let's not forget that the reason for police militarization is in part due to the increased threats they have to combat. How can you watch or hear of anything like the Boston Bombing and think yeah give those people less gear, communication, training, weapons and bodies.

Their training is trash,it takes more training to be a barber or plumber,a cop is expected to deal with life and death situations,they wield weapons capable of killing multiple people in a matter of seconds. The police NEED more training and far more strict rules because there’s tons of cases having to do with them abusing their power and being far too happy to pull the trigger. That’s why the average person gets worried or scared when dealing with cops,we should feel safe not scared.

They literally have all the training they need .why are they killing people?

That's more or less my point. Taking money from them isn't going to solve their training issue, training costs money, lots of it. I'll openly disagree with the average person being scared of the police though. Unless the average person is now a felon or has a propensity for violence in which case a cop is exactly who you should be worried about. The majority of police encounters go by smoothly they only take a dive when the people are non-compliant. You fight cops in the court not in the street. Plenty of lawsuits won over a LEO being incorrect only difference is the people that know where to fight, tend not to lose their life.

I mean the police will shove a lot of their police brutality and misconduct under the rug too
