I feel like that's not long enough to learn to be a cop. At least not a good cop. When I learnt to be a network admin, the training course was a year, and I've never shot anyone so clearly the longer training works. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Bahalex@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago In California it’s a bit longer, 3 -4 months.

It may not teach how to be a good cop, they will teach you to be in constant fear. permalink fedilink source parent [–] HelixDab2@lemm.ee 6 points 2 years ago He has no known history of trauma. He was, IIRC, a special forces officer that was deployed (Afghanistan?), but he never saw combat operations. This is more likely the result of being trained that everyone is out to kill cops, that cops are the "sheep dogs", and that they need to be ready to kill people at a moment's notice ("Killology"). permalink fedilink source parent [–] LotrOrc@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago (1 child) How is this a trauma reaction? This is a big old pussy with a gun who doesn't have the functioning braincells to think.

That is not the case here as it seems he did not take part in any combat while deployed but it certainly can be trauma. permalink fedilink source parent [–] bingbong@lemmy.dbzer0.com 8 points 2 years ago Pigbrained permalink fedilink source parent [–] OldQWERTYbastard@lemmy.world 0 points 2 years ago This story has an extra chromosome.
