It is a training problem and yeah, it will take money to solve. Problem is, you (and I) are in the minority about being ok with having our taxes raised to help solve the problem.

It's a culture problem. If we don't fix the policing culture of "I am the warrior hero", "I am the law", no amount of extra training and extra money is going to be enough.

I can't speak to the culture but I know for a fact their training is minimal due to taxpayers not wanting to pay for anything better and the fact that anything outside of the police academy is paid for by the individual.
