Sarcasm noted, but I don't think it's fair to simply say that cops are the cause of the problem. The article mentions that the training they've received, while intuitive, does not match up with the way that research suggests victims tend to encode memories of trauma, which is a fairly recent finding. On top of that, cops deal with all kinds of horrible stuff day in and day out. It's got to be hard to stay empathetic on the job. I think this is part of a larger problem as well. Job roles are often presented simply and often in two dimensions. For example: a cop makes sure people don't break the law and helps people who have been harmed by the breaking of laws. The 3D picture of that means that not only must they enforce laws, but they have to act as counselors, babysitters, negotiators, bodyguards, clerks, animal control, etc. What I'm saying is, that for these jobs where people must care for other people or guide society at large, there is no amount of training that could realistically produce experts in all the possible situations that arise on the job. Shit, just ask a teacher what their job description is vs. what they actually have to do, just to get an idea.
