If only there were some kind of training that could help peace officers maintain the peace... Oh well, guess this is as good as we can do.

Training helps. But it’s hard to overcome instincts.

Domestic abusers (not always people prone to violence) are sent to classes and often get in the same situation again, even after training and knowing the legal consequences.

Sending in police equipped with riot gear, tear gas, and military-grade equipment, from precincts riddled with white supremacists and officers with known (but ignored) histories of excessive force, results very predictably in the situations that we have seen.

Sure, it's hard to overcome instincts, but it's far from impossible, and most of the police that have been actively creating these problems haven't even started trying.

Military seems to do relatively decent job at training that compared to cops, and it's not like the cops are down the barrel of guns. Just water bottles and some bricks

US military also has "up or out".
