Well the thing about the education is mehhh, to me at least, I’ve seen it. Cops have to be smart in an entirely different way than can be taught from any books. I know cops that’re very book smart, almost over intelligent types and they honestly don’t make great cops.
They overthink everything, never really develop good street instincts, scare easily and then they start paying money to get promoted (*take the test, cost a lot of money) and quickly get off the street because it’s dangerous and their education tells them they should stay behind a desk.
Then they end up upstairs in admin where they develop stupid new policies that they know nothing about because they didn't work out streetwise to begin with. That’s how we got here in the first place.
