A ton of progress in holding cops accountable has been made in the past 2-3 weeks of protests. Multiple cities have even committed to looking into find alternative community solutions to policing.

Funny statement coming from Philadelphia, the City that bombed itself in the stand-off against MOVE, which lead to no repercussions or change.

Nothing will change, it's human beings reacting emotionally in stressful and sometimes life threatening situations. There's nothing that can be done outside of increasing funding and having a lot more situational and combat training, to improve experience and comfort levels in such scenarios.

Police officers are humans, like you or me, they receive a few hours of training, then they are thrust into the cold dark world and are expected to make good decisions under extreme circumstances. You can't undo evolution, you can't expect humans to behave antithetically to how we are hard coded, once adrenaline starts pumping and fight or flight kicks in, decision making will always be impaired.

Like that poor female cop yesterday who had to endure waiting and waiting for her food. Poor lady had a panic attack. For waiting for food. I mean. This is a person that can choose to end someones life at any given moment we are talking about, having a panic attack.... about waiting for food....

Police are no longer respected by many,, and have every reason to be afraid.

Look in Atlanta, police quitting left and right. Something will change from all of this or else they won't be able to hire anyone to do the job.
