“A deeper look into the records of 34 officers who shot unarmed people in 2015 and 2016 shows that more than half had obtained two or fewer hours of de-escalation training since at least 2012. Only one officer had received 40 hours, which is considered optimal.”

I watched a video where over a half dozen cops in a line fired into a crowd, and I flashed on the Revolutionary War.
The way the two opposing armies would stand in a line in front of each other firing their weapons. It was freaky and kind of horrifying.
No, they were not using lead bullets today, but bullets just the same.
I fear one of these days the cops will push just hard enough to force people to bring guns to fight back.
It will happen, it is destined to happen, it is inevitable.
A bloodbath will ensue, the Kent State shooting will seem like a picnic.
