    US Police officers need training very badly, period.

    Also, don’t call them cops anymore. They don’t need a “cool” designation, they’re people with a job, ans that job is to protect and serve us, not being some cool dude that we need to fear

      They don’t need more training. They need consequences

      God, isn’t that the truth. Standardized training, and training that doesn’t invite quacks to give lectures on how you need a WARRIOR MENTALITY and killing people will give you the best sex of your life.

      Cop = Citizen On Patrol. It’s derogatory, as it correctly implies they aren’t officers, and they absolutely hated being called cops as recently as the early '90s.

        Cop is short for copper, which was a reference to the big brass buttons they used to have on their uniforms.

        Could be both. Could be neither. I’m just a random person on the internet.

      Police officer sounds authoritative. Cop is usually used in a derogatory manner. Gonna stick with cop.

        Police officer is what they should be.

        Cop, whatever it was before, is -to them- this cool ahrrif guy who will show the town who is boss.

        You’re not that, you are. Apomoce officer who should be trained and sworn to uphold the law firstly to yourself, to serve and protect.
