Far be it from me to second guess an officer of the law ... but I feel like this may be the dumbest thing I've ever seen.

States need to admin hold cops who are under investigation and not let them resign until the investigation is complete. They’ll resign, investigation stops, then they’ll get hired by a new department in the state.

Drunk cop hits a guy. Guy chases him and the cops try to cover it up. Sickening.

How do cities not do a better background check on cops? That's insane he got rehired as a cop after a drunk hit and run.

A lot of them will resign in the middle of an investigation, which will allow them to say they weren't terminated for cause, and it also stops the investigation (usually).

The drop in quality of cops is a direct result of the defund the police movement. Not that the movement actually defunded anything, but it changed the atmosphere powerfully against cops. Ask the question: what sane person would sign up to be a police officer today? Understaff, underfunded police forces will be undertrained and overtasked with poor recruit quality. These events are the obvious outflow. Many here said as much back when de-fund the police first got traction.

I think it is a DIRECT relationship to training. It currently takes more training to become a barber than a police officer.

I think the biggest problem is the lack of standardization of training in local law enforcement. Some states require local cops to go through their state academy, some don’t. There needs to be a more standardized process and I think there should be joint academies that train multiple state and local officers.
