ENDING POLICE CATASTROPHIES

A job in America that requires an individual to make the most critical determination as to whether a person should LIVE or DIE, should be required to attend a yet to be established National Police Academy, for a period of at least 8 weeks before acceptance into their local police force.

First and foremost lacking in police training is the extreme need for psychiatric examinations above all, for every new and current members of any police force, who are authorized to carry a gun. This includes the National Guard and any other group of militia that have that authorization as well.

The wild-west mentality that currently pervades local police forces, has been a demeaning, deadly and national embarrassment on a global scale. Missing from the present training may be the extreme need for special videos that depict every conceivable type of police involvement coming from 911 calls. The videos would show the latest technical advancement in every aspect of police control situations.

At present, America is recording a record number of unnecessary deaths from a pandemic: a pandemic that also could have been avoided, if only idiotic solutions were not offered to our population, instead of scientific ones.

With a Congress unwilling to address anything that may be critical to the lives of our population, we hang our heads in shame, as our country attempts to regain the decent reputation in retained until 2016.
