True. And sometimes, cops pull the trigger when they do not intend to do so. Sometimes, it's painfully obvious that the training absorbed by trainees is insufficient.

it takes 100's of hours of training to be truly competent and that's highly expensive, from a decent instructor. Tax payers won't cough up and many cops just couldn't learn it, anyway.
If you want a cop who's really top of the line, you'll have to pay him 150k per year and a pension after 10 years, not 20. If you paid the others 20k per year, no gun, no pension, just a meter maid (over 90%% of cop "work) you could afford to have the 10% be paramedics, racecar drivers, bi-lingual, class A shottists, black belts and hostage negotiators. But the "equal employment" bs won't let you do that, cause everybody's just as sloppy/inept as the next guy, right?
Cops have a difficult, dangerous job, not very well paid, and you get a lot of garbage people wanting that gun/badge power.

blacks should always do what white people tell them to. historically that's worked out great for them.
Training is one of the most costly items in a PD's budget. Absorption has a lot to do with atmosphere and more often than not, the Range Officer's top priority is not getting shot during in-service by an officer who has no business with a gun. Speaking of which, hiring standards are an amalgamation of local, state and federal EEO requirements that don't take into account occupational suitability. Further exacerbating the problem is the adversarial nature of labor relations with a unionized force.
When you add it all up, community standards require that we place officers in situations they're not equipped to deal with effectively. A PD force is a reflection of the community it serves. Quite a few people in this country haven't figured that out just yet.
Officer Betty Boop probably isn't racist. She probably would have freaked and dropped a giant white biker looking dude accidentally, too.
Helicopter audio doesn't help it not appear to have racial overtones, tho. I don't see why he 'looked like a bad dude'. Looks like your average dude eating next to me at Evelyn's on any given day.

So....a the comment that hair dressers receive more trading than many cops is not too far off base.
There was an article recently, maybe in the boiler room, about how many hours beauticians have to get before being licensed.
AH, here it is "It Takes 4 Times Longer to Become a Hair Braider Than an EMT in Oklahoma"
